1928 HonOrs AS
COPIED by Indians

Cleveland. Jan. 22-(By A. PA
review of 1923 baseball records shows
the Cleveland Indians, as a team,
not only led the American League in
batting with an average of .301, but
were the champion scoring machine,
drew the most bases on bf lis and had
the least number of strikeouts during
the season. The feats of several of
it's players, especially Manager Iris
Speaker, and Pitchers George Uhle
and Stanley Coveleskie. stand out.
Uhle won &c games, more than any
other pitcher in the circuit and
pitched to the most batsmen, 1898.
In addition he worked in 20 complete
games. another seasons record.
Coveleskie was the only American
League pitcher to allow less than
. three earned runs to a game. His
average was 2.76.
In addition to leading the team in
, hitting with an average of 1880
Speaker set a worlds record by
knocking out SO two base hits. Harry
Heilmann and Babe Ruth were the
, only regulars to exceed Speaker
batting mark. but the Cleveland lead
er drove in more runs than his De-
troit rival, and, playing in two less
games drove in just as many runs as
Ruth-130.
In 124 innings in which he worked
in IA games, only one man. Fred
Haney, of Detroit, stole on Sherrod
! Smith. Indian southpaw. Smith also
| is credited with picking" seven run
ners off first base.
Playing his first season as an In
dian, Lutzke proved one of the SEN
, sations of the league. Although not
leading the third basemen in fielding
he led them in covering ground. In
143 games he is credited with 35S
assists, far above the mark of 295
set last year by Jimmy Dykes of
Philadelphia.
I Lutzke had 1856 putouts, 10 more
than Willie Kamm of Chicago. who
played in six more games. Kamm
had six less assists than Lutzke.
Cleveland batsmen drew 683 bases
on balls, had 3S4 str1keouts and made
1894 hits. They scored SsS runs. 81
more than Detroit and IS more than
the champion Yankees despite the
latter's 105 home runs.
Charley Jameson, the tribes star
left fielder. led the league in hits,
getting 222, with Speaker second with
