EDDIE CICOTTE
TOPS PITCHERS
Mays Is Second Jim Shaw
Gives Most Bases on
Balls.

Chicago, Dec. 20-Eddie Cicotte, of
the world champion Chicago White
Sox. is king OF the American League
pitchers. The official pitching av-
erages, announced here today credit
him with being the most effective
pitcher in the league. He allowed
only a fraction over one-half earned
runs per nine innings pitched. His
average was 153.
Carl Mays, OF the Boston Red Sox,
came in for second honors. His
pitching record shows that he gave
one and three-quarters earned runs
per nine innings pitched, with veter-
an Eddie Plank. who took part in
twenty games, a close third with an
average OF 179.
Cicotte did moro twirling than any
other American Lacquer. The records
show he pitched a total Of 346 in
nings and served LES batsmen.
Walter johnson held the record Of
strike-outs in 1877. He famed lSS
men.
Jim Bagby passed out more hits
than any other pitcher, while Jim
Shaw. of Washington, sent more men
to first on balls. Opposing batsmen
registered 27 hits of the Cleveland
twirler. The grand total of 123 bases
on balls were distributed by Sha W
during the season.

VETERANS GET
FIELDING CALL
.Groh, Paskert, Miller and
Fletcher Lead Circuit in
Defensive Playing.

While comparative youngsters have
the call among National League bats
men. Rough and Hornsby being by
far the best batsmen in the old
l'aFuc. it's older heads who lead
In fielding in praG ticaIly every posi-
ton, the honors going 20 Jack Mil
Ter at first. Rawlings at second. Art
Fletcher at short, Heine Groh at
third and Dode Fasl:ert in tho out
field. The only one of the outfit who
has not been up here" for sew
oral years is Rawlings. the Boston
youngster.
Jack Millers average Is far above
normal. Playing in forty-six games
ut first he handled SIS chances with
but n single error.
Heine Groh was the same old Heine
around the hot corner. He handled
81 chances at third with his GUS
tomary grace and erred but eighteen
times.
II Dode Paskert is going back It
isn't very noticeable in his fielding.
Dode has often been regarded as
the surest fielder in the National
League. a sort OF National League
Iris Speaker. and he surely lived
up to this reputation this year. Dode
handled 80 chances in the gardens
with but five misplays.
Art Fletcher used better judgment
around the short field during the
season than he did during the world
series and led all shortstope.
