MORAN'S PITCHERS
HAVE NOT PASSED
MAN IN 4 GAMES
Philly Twirlers Make Fine
Record in Successive Con-
tests Against Cubs
DEMAREE is REPEATER
BY CHANDLER D. RICHTER

Perhaps some one may be able to dig UP
an old record for steadiness on the part OF
the pitchers which will surpass that made
by Pat Morans hurlers in the last four
games but It is extremely doubtful. Start
ing with the second of Saturdays double
headers the Philly pitchers have not Issued
single base on balls, which is one of the
most unusual records in baseball.
II frequently happens that an individual
will 60 through three or four games with
out giving a single base on balls and
Mathewson has been known TO go beyond
80 innings, but we cannot recall any stan
of hurlers beating the record made by
Moran's pitchers against the Cubs.
One OF the odd features of the four
game run without pass Is that Alexander
the Great, whose control, as a rule, is as
near perfect as possible. did not share in
the record, Demaree pitching two games
and Rixey and Chalmers eRch one.
In the first game of Saturdays double
header. Alexander passed three men, and Joe
Oeschger walked the first man to face him
in the eighth inning Prior to passing the
three men, Alexander has given only one
base on balls in four games and he merely
had an of day or the total might be
larger.
Demaree Started Streak
Demaree went through the nine innings
of the second game without walking sim
gle batter; RiXey followed on Monday
with another perfect game so far as con-
troll Is concerned, and yesterday Chalmers
and Demaree pitched a double-header with
out giving free transportation to single
batsman. This makes n total OF 80 COM
plete innings without base on balls.
This wonderful steadiness on the part of
the Philly twirlers is further evidence that
Morans staff has at last struck Its 1915
stride. In the early part of the season and
on the last western trip bases on balls were
responsible for many defeats. This was
particularly true in Chalmers case, as in
variably the men he passed would score.
A statistician once figured out that 20
per cent of the men who are given base
on balls have tailed runs over a stretch of
five years which means that the perfect
control OF the Phily pitchers will increase
their effectiveness 25 per cent. 1t also will
increase the confidence of the rest of the
team, as 1t means lot to a team to feel
sure that the pitchers are not going to hand
the opposing teams runs by putting runners
on base.
