Indians Expect Old Bob Groom
To Win q Fe1O Games This Year

Cleveland, Q. - Bob Groom, the
American league veteran, has been
signed by the Cleveland Indians ana
IL is considered that Bob still has
more than a few games of high class
ball in his system. Jim Dunn, the
Indians owner, is pleased with the
purchase.
II expect to see Bob Groom win
quite few games for Us this season"
said Dunn, when announcing the deal.
The Indians pitching stan will need
quite a bit of bolstertnE UP this sea-
son, especially since Ed Klepfer has
been drafted into the army. Groom
may not work as often as a younger
star or win so many games as he
might have In his heydey, but he will
likely be OF real value TO to the. In
dians at such a time.
Last season, with the st. Louis
Browns. Groom had his slumps and
then on the other hand he dished up
some of the hansomest pitching seen
ali through the season. He shut out
New York twice and Boston once ana
in September he pitched a twelve-in-
ming game against the Tigers, losing
out at last with score Of 10.
Groom's brightest feat last year, how
ever, was his pitching of one of the
seasons few no-hit games. when he
beat the White Sox in May with a
score Of 60.
Bob Is now 33 years old and has
been in thef American league for ten
years. He came into the. big show
hoped to the Feds for while. When
the st. I.ouis Feds were merged with
the Browns, Bob found himself back
in the American league. He should
be useful in fast company for a few
more years, though no longer kid.

PITCHING and
BATTING MARKS
CHANGE LITTLE
Figures in National League
Show Less Fluctuation
Than Is Supposed
~ Assoclated Press. }

New York, Feb. 20.-That the fluc-
tuation in batting and pitching
strength among the stars Of the Ma
tional league, from year to year, Is
not so great as generally supposed is
shown BY a study of the averages of
recent seasons. A comparison of the
work OF the leading twenty players
during the past five years develops
some interesting data along these
lines.
Beginning with 1918, it is found
that the grand batting average Of the
twenty hitters of the league during
that season was .326. The following
year the percentage fell to .30s, ana
in 1915 dropped to 1876. In 1915 1t had
moved back to .S02, and last season
the average was 1877, giving a five
year average of 1908.
over the same stretch OF years the
twenty leading pitchers, judged from
the standpoint OF runs earned by OPP
ponents, improved in effectiveness
steadily until 1917 when their work
showed a slump. At the end of the
1913 pennant race the first twenty
hurleTs of the National league showed
an average of 2.52 runs per nine-in-
ming game. These figures were grad
ually cut down to 2.01 In 1915, ana
then rose TO 2.31 at the close of the
pennant race of last year.
Team Hitting Ability SlumpE.
The average team batting ability OF
the eight clubs in these same fiye
years dropped from season to season
until 1917 when 1t rose two points
above the lowest average of the
period. II was highest in 1913 when
the figures stood at .2S9. In 1915 the
stump had carried the average down
to 24T, and last year IL stood at .249.
The league team fielding averages,
on the other hand, do not show the
same fiuctuation, as the figures for
1919 are but one point higher than
those Of 1917 and the high point was
again in 1916. The figures
range from .962 high to .959 low, with
a grand average OF .96l.
In base stealing the decline has
been steady, with the exception OF
1916 when the average showed a tenn
increase. In 1918 the average
number of stolen bases per team was
1917 Two years later the average was
149. In 1916 1t moved up TO s166. but
last season saw the base stealing at
it's lowest ebb during the flve-year
period as the average was but l43.

Corn Market S how S
Strength But Trading Is
Greatly Restricted

Chicago, Feb. 2O.-Continued scan
tiness OF oats tended today 70
strengthen the corn market. Trade
however, was small owing to the fact
that prices were near to the maximum
limit allowed by existing regulations,
Opening figures, which varied from
the same as yesterdays finish to &c
higher, with March not quoted and
May Sl.26h to Sl.27, were followed
by a slight further upturn.
Broad general demand sent the oats
market soaring. Offerings were next
to nothing, as a result largely of
likelihood that the government guar
anteed price on the 1918 wheat crop
would be raised so cents a busheL.
After opening Il to INC higher, with
May So to $50, the market scored
substantial further gains before be-
ginning to react.
Provisions rose with hogs and
grain. Arrivals of hogs were much
less plentiful than had been expected.
