Pitching records do not always
give credit where it is due.
Since the origin of baseball, many
experts have tried to figure out some
system of rating that would tell the
true worth of the various pitchers,
but. as yet no one has succeeded.
What pitcher gets credit for win
ming the game?
Many a sports editor has often
wrestled with such a problem, try
ing to reach a proper decision in a
game in which three or four twirl-
ers have performed for the victorious
team.
Only recently Pitcher Burke of the
washington club received credit for
winning a game III which he pitched
only one ball to retire the side, the
bases being filled when he ascended
the mound.
It was the eighth inning and the
score was tie In the ninth his
team made two runs, he being re-
moved for a pinch hitter. The man
who relieved him allowed one run
in the last of the ninth and Wash
ington won out.
Crediting the victory to Burke
who pitched only one ball in the
eighth inning, hardly seems fair,
since the other pitcher, who had
worked up to that time, didn't
even get honorable mention.
Tough on Rookie
The two games on Fourth of July
between Chicago and Cincinnati of
the National league offered another
concrete example of the injustice OF
the present rules relative to games
won and lost.
Guy Bush, as relief pitcher, was
credited with the two wins the Cubs
scored over the Reds. He richly
earned the award in one of the
games, while in the other it was
pretty much of q gift.
It was in the first game that the
injustice of awarding the victory to
Bush was very apparent, although
there was no alternative under the
scoring rules.
For nine innings Southpaw Brill
heart of Chicago had held Cincin-
natl to three hits and one run. In
the last of the ninth a pinch hitter
was sent in for Brillheart and he
could do no more than strike out.
Bush pitched the first half of the
tenth session and held the Reds
while Chicago put over the deciding
run in its half, ending the game.
Bush was credited with the
victory, even though he only
| pitched one inning, while Brill
| hearts nine innings of great
work get no recognition. Hardly
fair.
Deserved to Win
In the second game Bush took the
rubber after Cincinnati had scorec
three runs off Osborn in the frs
two innings. During the rest Of tht
game he held the Reds scoreless, al
lowing only three hits.
Late batting rallies on the part o.
the Cubs put over SIX runs and Chi
cago won out after very disap.
| pointing start Bush richly deserved
credit for that victory.
Of course it can be pointed ou

that when Bush took up the burden
with the score tie, he stood to
lose the game unless he held the op-
position. And if one is liable to lose
he should have an equal right to
victory, if his club goes over.
However, for Brillheart, who had
pitched magnificently for nine in
nings, to get no credit whatever,
hardly seems fair.
Someone once suggested fcth-
cd of splitting the wins. This
suggestion got nothing more than
a laugh, yet it had some logic.
Under such a system BriIIheart
and Bush each would have re-
reived credit for a half game.

TALK ON LAW

"shall Any Church Rule This
Land. or America Facing Her
Supreme Crisis" will be the subject
of the lecture to be delivered tomor-
row night at Arcadia Auditorium,
Fourteenth Street near Park Road
by DR.. b. C. Wilkinson. dean OF
theology at Washington Missionary
College. Recent views of DR.. Will
kinson, expressed in his lectures, fol.
low:
THE nationwide agitation carried
on by certain, religious reform or.
CARNATIONS to Puritanize America,
has made the phrase, Sunday blue
laws familiar one, both with the
man on the street and with every
newspaper and periodical in the
country.
Have Made Gains
These reform" associations and
leagues are seeking to obtain the
active cooperation Of all the Protes
tant and Catholic churches in Amer
lea in their drive upon Congress
and the State legislatures. They
have succeeded in gaining the sup
port Of certain labor organizations
and merchants associations, and OF
many Protestant denominations.
The plans Of the ''reformers'
were outlined some time ago by the
Rev. Harry L. Bowlby, of the
Lords Day Alliance. He said:
I'VE shall agitate and spread
propaganda, and cause voters to
write INCREASINGLY to their repre-.
sentatives in Congress, until no
Representative who cares to stay in
Congress will dare refuse to vote
for our measures"
Mr.. Bowlby says that he and his
associates expect to utilize the
methods by which the Anti.Saloon
League added the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.
Already the "reformers" have
secured Sunday laws in every State
in the Union except two, and they
are confident of ultimate success.
BaIks at Sunday Law
Thus far Congress has refused to
enact a Sunday law for the District
of Columbia, over which it holds
direct jurisdiction. During the last
IS years, more than $50 Sunday
bills have been introduced into
Congress for the District of Column
bia alone, at the behest of religious
organizations. But Congress has
been as persistent in refusing to lend
aid to the churches along this line
as the churches have been insistent
in their demands for congressional
assistance. Thus far the First
Amendment to the Constitution
has served as an effective barrier
in restraining our lawmakers from
legislation in support of religion.
Church Discipline
"Such rules and regulations as
have been proposed by the Lord s
Day Alliance might very fittingly
be adopted by that organization
and applied to its own memers; W
they might be Incorporated in the
bylaws of some other religious or.
ganization. But when religious SO.
cieties pass resolutions demanding
that Congress enact legislation en-.
forcing church discipline upon the
citizens of the United States, it is
very apparent that they are making
demand that is beyond the right
of the civil power to grant. Con-
gress cannot comply with such a
demand without overriding the con-
stitutional guarantees of civil and
religious liberty"
