PENNINGTON BEST EASTERN" PITCHER
 IN PAST SEASON

George "Kewpie" Pennington was the best pitcher in the Eastern League last year.
 The records, announced in the last issue of the Sporting News, prove that none of the other hurlers in the circuit were as effective as the Hartford slinger during the 1921 campaign.
 According to games won and lost, Pen nington finished fifteen. He worked in thirty contests, finishing on top eighteen times and losing twelve, His percentage stood an even 600.
 But the real test of pitchers ability the earned runs scored off him in the season. show that Pennington was the leader of them all. Only one heaver Bornhoeft of Bridgeport, topped George in that respect and the Park City mound occupant had great handicap on the local pitcher in that he was working with a team that outslassed Hartford both ir1 the field and with the willow as the team batting and fielding records have already shown.
 Bornhoeft pitched twenty-six games He won ten and lost nine but only thirty-four earned runs were made of his delivery. His earned run average was 1.72. Pennington's earned run aver ager was 1.83 and in that respect he top ped Chief" Bender, who finished with 1.92 for thirty-six games.
 In the official records Zip" Sloan is given credit for winning thirteen and losing fourteen. The Pittsburgh fire man should have finished with an even 500 average as an error gave him credit for a loss when 1t should have beer chalked up to Hassnussen.

BUY ONLY UNION MADE GOODS

50 much has been penned about the feud between Rickard and Leon ard that a few words at this time tell ing how they managed to bury the hatchet undoubtedly will prove inter esting to the followers of the punch.
 Billy Gibson's explanation runs along these lines: "The American League and the National League had to get together in their fight years ago, and we are a couple of peanuts compared to those two great baseball bodies. We have just reached an amicable understanding, that's all We are going 10 listen to Rickard"
 Gibson emphatically denied that a desire for set-ups or Leonards in ability to make weight furnished the reasons for the champion refusing to question the title holders boss jabbed.
 'I don't mind saying that I always have regarded the question of Leon ards weight as good business from a managerial standpoint. It provided discussion throughout the country, and anything that creates talk is a good thing for business
 There never has been any serious doubt in my mind about Benny mak- ing I35 pounds at o'clock, as the law provides and in this connection will point to Milwaukee, where he had trained faithfully and was ready to take on Pinky Mitchell In spite of the fact that the bout was called off because of an injury to Mitchell I put Benny on the scales in the pres bar settled it was at 137 pounds, this was catchweight fight, too"

TUNNEY ENTERED
 FIGHT GAME JUST
 FOR FUN OF IT.
New Light-Heavy Champion Wanted to Entertain Soldiers
 Back of Line.

America now is paying trlbue to the new light-heavyweight champion Gene Tunney of Greenwich Village, New York
 Tunney became a boxer just for the fun of 1t. His start came through a desire to entertain his buddies behind the battle lines while not busy swap ping punches with the Germans in France Tunney is impressed with his skill so much that he may meet Georges Carpenter for the worlds half of the lightweight title in the near future.
 or Fred Fulton did not take one on the chin and fold up his tent, but he took big step backward on his road to secure another battle with Jack Dempsey when he was lucky to get a draw in combat with Bartley Madden. The veteran New Yorker had the Minnesota plasterer groggy in the last round of the I2th, and the decision of draw was received with disfavor.
 America refuses to warm up to a return bout between Georges Caar- pentier and Jack Dempsey, but ring followers are inclined to believe that a second meeting may be staged abroad with success. Reports that the Frenchman again would like to face the champion were confirmed last week by dispatches from Carpen- tiers camp abroad, after. his victory over Cook, the Australian heavy weight.
 Owing to financial conditions abroad, the attendance and gate re- ceipts could not be expected to ap- preach those recorded in Jersey City, Dempsey, however, has no particular impressive opponent in sight for a bout next summer, and might be will ing to box abroad for considerably less than he received from Rickard for facing Carpenter.
 The appearance for Dempsey in a foreign ring would prove a great drawing card. Only in the movies have ring followers on the other side of the big pond seen the Iron Mike of the champion.
 Cash offers up to $3o,ooo for bout failed to tempt Johnny Buff, bantam weight champion, to give up his trip abroad The 33-year-old title holder has sailed for England. According to his manager, Buff will not don box ing glove for any purpose during his stay in England, all of which would indicate that the Jersey City veteran is not any too anxious to defend his crown
