ALEX. LEADS ALL
Former Philly Star Be
Pitcher in Baseball.
Best
Walter johnson Is Ranked
Second by VeiOck.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

BY JACK vEIOCK.
New York, Jan. 30.-The method
of ranking pitchers for their effec-
tiveness is fair enough.
1t does not belittle the perform
ances of the big winning pitcher,
runs. 1t does help the pitcher who
has lost many games thru fielding
boobies behind him
There were just fifteen pitchers out
of the 100 odd hurlers in the majors
last season who allowed less than two
runs per nine innings pitched, and
naturally enough they were for the
most part outstanding stars
But tho the fairness of ranking
pitchers for their effectiveness in one
season is appreciated, it is after all
the pitcher who can do the most work
and turn in the most victories with
consistent regularity who is most
valuable to any ball club. The more a
pitcher works the greater will be his
victories and losses. But 1t is for such
pitchers that the managers are con-
stantly hunting.
The star Eurlers of the big leagues
number. perhaps twenty or more. But
the outstanding nine selected here are
far and above rivals in consistency.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, thru his
wonderful pitching last season and for
seasons prior to that. stands out as the
greatest of them all. He turned in
thirty victories last season and was
strikeout king of the lot He is
placed at the head of the list
Johnson's Record.
Walter johnson, playing with a
losing club, worked like a Turk last
year. He has done the same in years
gone by. He is still a great pitcher
regardless of his losses. He is ranked
second. Eddie Cicotte. the wonderful
comeback, is ranked third. Cicotte
apparently. has just found his true
level as a pitcher.
Babe Ruth stands fourth m the es-
timation of the writer. His classifi-
cation will not be agreed upon by
more than one in twenty fans, If by
that many Another left-hander.
Ferdie Schupp is placed fifth among
the great pitchers. Schupp has risen
to fame in two short seasons. Sixth
on the list comes Jim Bagby, of the
Indians, with Carl Mays, of Boston,
seventh; Jim Vaughn, of the Cubs,
eighth, and Fred Toney, of the Reds.
ninth. Following is the list of rank
ings. together with the 1911. perform
ances of the pitchers:

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 30.-Joe
Lynch of New York, knocked out Kid
Williams, former bantamweight cham
pion, in the fourth round of what was
to have been a six-round bout here
Tuesday night.
Williams was the aggressor in the
first and second rounds but his blows
seemed to be ineffective At the be-
ginning of the third round, Lynch
landed a hard right to the jaw, which
sent the former champion to the mat
for the count of one. Altho game to
the last this blow had telling eff
feet on Williams. The New Yorker
kept up his heavy work in the fourth
round landing rights and lefts almost
at will. He finally hammered Will
liams to the rope, where the former
champion staggered and slipped to the
floor. At this point, his seconds threw
a towel into the ring and the referee
stopped the bout.
