CIcoTTE THE IRON MAN
 OF NATIONAL LEAGUE

The records of the major league pitchers for the season of 1919 show that the National League pitchers were more successful in outguessing batters than were the hurlers in Ban Johnson's circuit. The hitting in the American League was heavier and the managers were forced to change pitchers in championship games more often than were the leaders in John Heydler's organi- zation. In the National League only one pitcher, Lee Meadows, partici- pated in 40 games, but in the rival league no less than eight slabsters broke into at least( forty box scores and two of the eight worked in forty four games.
 Those who performed often in the American league were Shaw of the Senators, who pitched in forty -four games; Russell of the Yankees and later of the Red Sox, who, like Coveleskie of Cleveland, forty-three games; Kinney of Philadelphia, for ty-three; Williams of the White Sox and Shawkey of the Yankees, each forty one games; Cicotte ofthe White Sox and Sothoron of the Browns. who each broke into forty contests.
 Although Shaw and Russell appear ed in more games than any other hurler, neither was the most indus trious pitcher ill the league. The real iron man of the circuit was Eddie Ci- cotte, who in his forty games pitched Q total of 307 frames. Shaw hurled 298 innings and Russell 211. The same is true in the National League. Mead ows pitched in twenty-two games as a member of the Cardinals pitching staff, and when he went to Philadel- phia appeared in eighteen games be- fore the season closed. In these bat ties he hurled 241 innings, but sever al pitchers who did not take part in as many games as he did pitched more frames. Jim Vaughn of the Cubs took part in th:rtY-eight con- tests and pitched more frames than any other National leaguer. He was on the slab for BOT rounds, the same number pitched by the American Leagues iron man of the year.
 Incidentally Cicotte and Vaughn the overtime performers in their re- spective leagues, each are rated sec ond on the lists. The Cubs soutbpaw. however, has an edge on the star of the White SoX in the number of earn ed runs allowed a nine inning con- test. Vaughn held the opposition down to 1.79 tallies a game and Ci- cotte was found for 1.S2 runs to a contest. Vaughn won 21 games and was charged with 14 defeats, and in the 307 rounds he pitched he was found for atotal of 264 base hits. He struck out Al batters and walked 62. Cicotte while he pitched. was found for 256 hits, struck out 11O men and passed 49. SiXty-one runs were earned off. the member of the Cubs and 62 earned tallies were recorded off Ci- cotte's piching.

NEW ANGLING RECORDS
 MADE DURING 1919

While many brave attempts were made to better existing angling rec ords during the season of 1919. but comp mparatively few new marks were made; In fact, only two new records were registered. In distance fly cast ounce rod c. J. Mccarthy averaged 112 2-3 feet. c. E. Lingenfelter made new record for half-ounce distance bait with the longest single cast of 274 feet. These were the only new records made during the season.
 Some of the records have with stood the onslaught of many years. For instance, the record made by H. W. Hawes of New York in switch fly casting in 1887 still stands on the booksi It is interesting to study date compiled by the National Asso- citation of Scientific Angling Clubs. The records follow:

plete as the National Leagues. One of the most important details miss ing from the American league rec ords is the number of games won and lost by the pitchers. Walter Johnson is the leader, but the fans do not know how many victories he turned ill during the season nor how many times he was defeated Ci- cotte and Williams were the mai1i- stays of the White Sox staff, but the number of Chicago victories that pair accounted for is not known. Jesse Barnes was the only pitcher in the National League to turn in 25 winning efforts last season. Who in the American League eQualled his feat?
 Besides rating the pitcher accord ing to the number of earned runs scored against him, the National League averages show how he stands according to the number of games won and lost. The records also in clude the number of complete games pitched and the number of contests finished by each hurler. All of this interesting dope is missing from the American league figures.

 Perceptible improvement was also shown by leading foreign remittances, the London quotation hardening de- spite the new low record made by the Bank of England in it's proportion of reserves to liabilities.
 Steels, equipments. motors and their specialties dominated the session at extreme gains of two to six points many of these attaining their highest levels since the November reversal.

New Haven Waits Decision of Dan Murphy

George Weiss. owner of the New Haven baseball club has issued a de- nial Of the story that appeared in eve n.rg papers Thursday to the effect that Chief Bender had been named as manager of the New Haven team for the coming season. Weiss has made no overtures whatsoever to the for IEer big league star and fails to un- derstand from what source the story en1anated. Bender and Weiss are very good friends. and have been in each others company in Philadelphia sev- eral times, but these associations have been purely personal ones, and the New Haven man has never mentioned a contract for the coming season to Bender.

-EoNARD's FISTS BROUGHT
 S2ooo0o IN THE YEAR

Even in these days when the value of a dollar is woefully small, $2oo,0o0 is whole lot of money But that is what Monsieur Benjamin G>.onard lightweight champion of the world, earned with his versatile fists during the year. Leonard was the most ac- tive of all the boxers, large or small, in this fertile land. He piled his trade with a diligence and vigor never displayed before by champion in any class. He realized that the reign of champion is not long at most and that a title holder has to get it while the getting is good.''
 Leonard engaged in 25 bouts dur ing the year, an average of bout almost every two weeks. This is ex- elusive of the several benefit bouts he boxed. According to his manager, Billy Gibson, the total gate receipts for these bouts amounted to approXi- maetly S50O,000. If Leonard drew down $2O0,00O as his share then he averaged about 40 per cent of the, gate in each bout in which he took part. To abstract total of a half million dol lars. the gate receipts for each bout averaged S20,000 and Leonard received an average of $S,OOO for every time he entered the ring to do battle.
 In eight of Leonard's principal bouts the gates totaled $210 500. an average of $25,1S7.50. per bout The 16 bouts drew $29S.50o, an average of $17.5s9. His eight big gest bouts. his opponents, where they were held and the gate receipts fol- low:
