That major league pitchers are be-
ginning to overcome solne of the handi-
CAPS placed on them by the prohibition
of freak deliveries is evidenced by the
increase in the amount of whltewaSh
they were able to apply to their oppon-
ents this year by comparison with the
previous season.
American league pitchers shut out a
team in Is games this year, and the
| National league hurlers did it II times.
or a total of 146 for the majors. In
1921 there were only 1876 whitcwashes
in the two circuits. 66 in the National
and 80 in the American. Still the p2tch-
! ers are far below their old standard Of
efficiency. The record for the National
| league is 1913 shutouts in 1905. The
Americans record is 145 in 1909. The
latter is within one of the total Tor
both leagues this season.
Vance Leads in Shutouts
No hurler had a monopoly on the
1920 supply of wlitewash. Thirty-nine
! of them used it in the National league
| and 81 in the American. Arthur
| "Dazzy' Vance of Brooklyn led with
| six shutouts in the old circuit. Morri-
| son had five whitewashes to his credit,
| Cooper and Adams had four each, and
SherdeI three.
Thle of Cleveland led the junior cir
cult in shutouts with five of them.
Faber. Leverette. johnson. Plllette and
/ Quinn had four each, That q long
| wavway behind AleXander's record OF
! l6 shutouts in 1916 and Coombs Amer
lean league mark of 10 in 1910. But
conditions have changed since theh.
