MAKES THE:
PITCHER
Wonderful Record is Made
by Grover Cleveland Alex
ander = No One Else in
Either League Approached
Him This Year.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-The test Of
pitching greatness. the ability to hold
runs TO minimum. and still keep from
putting every ounce of strength into
the effort. is slapped right up in front
OF the baseball public and made to
stick with greater force in recent pitch
ing records. perhaps more than ever
before.
Ferdinand Schupp. John McGraw's
Young sensation. was at the top of the
list in the National league for last sea-
son, but he scarcely counts in such a
computation OF figures. But Grover
Cleveland Alexander, the real leader Of
the league. shows what real pitcher
one with coolies of control. can do.
Alexander appeared in forty-eight
games during the season, and he pitched
thirty-eight complete contests. only
one man. Meadows Of St Louis. took
part in more games-ffty-one-
even he did not approach Alexanders
record Of completed games. The figures
credit him with going the distance on
only eleven occasions
Not only did the Philadelphia marvel
finish best in-thirty-three of the games
he finished. but he pitched baseballs TO
ing faced an even 1900 batsmen. Yet
with all these men facing him he held
his wild pitches down 10 just three
and hit only ten men. He issued only
fifty bases on balls. slightly more than
an average of one in each game. He
was touched. however. for 1928 hits,
and was the only National league
hurler to pass 800
other pitchers faced more than 1000
batters. and nearly every enc Of them
has wilder record than Alexander
shows. When it is considered that the
Nebraskan established a new record for
the number of shut-out contests. his
superb method of working is best APP
preciated. He kept the opposition away
from the plate on sixteen occasions.
Not another hurler ran his shut-outs
higher than six.

the Church of the Covenant tomorrow

placed at the disposal of this commit
tee, through the American Waldensian
Aid Society, for the relief Of Protestant
war orphans and refugees. for whom
the Waldensian Church is responsible.
The refugees from the Waldensian
Church will number thousands. There
were groups of workers in at least six
towns in the invaded territory. and
about thirty churches between Venice
and Milan. These make, with other
refugees. a countless number for the
burdened italian people to care for.
Mrs. John Nelson Mills is president of
the local branch of the work. The
