 Winning 20 or moro victories in the majors. with the lively ball nov In use and the short fences thai surround . number of the parks continues to be mighty difficult fent.
 Tn the two major leagues in 1926, just six pitchers were able to reach the 20 or better figure in games won. Four of these pitchers worked in the National. two in the Ameri- can.
 No National league pitcher was able to win more than 20 games. kremer. Rhem. Donohue and Meadows just reached that mark.
 The two American league pitchers to shine were Chle of Cleveland with 27 battles to his credit, and Pennock. who registered g tri- umphs.
 Last year the number of twiriers to reach the coveted figure in the majors was increased by one over the preceding season. Once again the National offered four such stars while the American had three.
 A striking coincidence about the hurling records of these two years ia the fact that not one of the six to go 70 or better games in 1926 was able to repeat last season. Pennock and Meadows fell just one short of the charmed number. while Kremer, out for a couple of months with . bad knee. was two games away.
 In the National league averages for 1927, we find Root of Chicago with the most victories, 26: likewise. he lost the most games of the four outstanding pitchers in the senior organization as l5 defeats were charged to him.
 Haines of St. Louis. with c4 wins and only 10 defeaats, finished with the best average. followed by Alex ander, with e1 wins and 10 losses, and Hill with c3 victories sainst II reverses
 The American league data shows Waite Hoyt as the pitching ace of that organization with :. wins and only seven defeats. Lefty" Grove finished second with 20 and le while Lyons was third with 22-14.
 It will be noted that of the seven leading pitchers of the two leagues. men able to win 20 or more ball games. only Grove of the Philadel- phia Athletics is a left.hander.
 Difficulty in holding working margin of one or two run lead. is what makes pitching such try ing job these days. and the winning Of 20 ball games 10 difficult . task
 Major league pitchers never con- sider n game reasonably safe unless they have fve-run lead. A mar. gin of four runs or less is alwayi considered dangerous
 Often 1t is an easy matter to All the bases. It can be done through on error. . hit and base on balls or various other ways in tiff, and then looms the danger of g home run that will tie four-rur lead and wipe out l lesser advan. tage Home runs. you know. are no longer uncommon.
 All of which may partly explain why pitching is considered at Ieas' G5 per cent of the average bal game.

In the third period the Traders ran wild. making i IS points to Kensington's six. Abel made six points in this rally and An dcrson got five.

 an Intermediate County "" basket
 ball league game at the Nathan Hale
 Junior High school last night. Not
 only did the Lion leader hold the slippery Clifford Bell to one basket. [ but he himself was loose a great part
 of the time and came up the floor
 for eight goals, while he also showed keep eye from the foul line by
 dropping in three out of four tries. The Lions completely baffled the
 church team and virtually clinched the league championship.
 The losers got an abortive lead on foul by May and Morey's long goal. but Zembko tied the score and the Lions breezed into the lead on q series of pretty shots. Luke featur-
 ed with q lengthy flip on a dead line,
 the ball barely climbing the front
 of the hoop and dropping in. Mercy kept the church in the fight and It
 was SC, Lions. at the quarter. Luke
 and Marseli collaborated in a sec

 points, while May and Mercy raised
 the church's to IS.
 The losers went to pieces in the third quarter and the Lions moved out to 31-20 lead. Luke doing the major portion of the scoring. He continued his attack in the final per- iod, which was featured by much
 belated church rally in which Mercy.
 Rockwell and May participated. The foul shooting of the Lions all through the second half was good, only one of eight shots being missed. The work of Luke on both attack and defense was by far the outstand- ing feature of the game. while Mar sell and Karbonik did good floor
 work and got into the scoring fairly frequently. Mercy and May starred for the losers and did almost all the fighting for their team. Mercy made l6 points and May made . new high total for himself--10 points. Potts kept Becker covered in good fash ion, but went out on fouls in the last ten seconds. It was an off night for
 the South church. and the Lions out played them by wide margin,
 clearly demonstrating their right to

BAN ON PELTzER
 FINALLY LIFTED
German Track Star to Make
 Debut at Milhose X. (. Games

New York Feb. , R - Barring complications. Dr. Otto Peltzer will make his American debut in 2 half mile race at the Millrose A. A. games at Madison Square Garden tonight.
 Sanction for the German middle distance stars appearance was granted by the foreign relations com- mittee of the Amateur Athletic Union yesterday. Tentative approv. al was given at the same time for Peltzer to compete in a 1000 yards event at the Illinois A. C. meet in Chicago February 10.
 Dr. Peltzer's request that he be allowed to enter Q 1.500 metre race at the Knights of Columbus track and field carnival here February 2s was still under consideration pend ing . check with German authori- ties who stipulated that their cham pion's three American appearances i must be made within a 1l-day per- iod.
 The Teuton had planned to enter a special S0O-metre run in the Mill rose games but the 4. A. IT.. in granting sanction. restricted him to events regularly listed on meet pro- grams. His Chicago appearance was approved providing this stipulation was met.
 In the light of this ban on special events, Peltzer is confronted with the task of making his first start oy, an indoor track tonight against Q crack field that includes Phil Ed wards, negro flash of New York university. Pinkey Sober. Holy Name club. Bernard McCafferty. of Seton Hall. and others of like ability. Peltzer has said on several occas- ions that he was not in condition to face America's best at the present time and that he would like time t1 get accustomed to board track rac- ing before pitting himself against the cream of this country's talent
 There was 8 possibility that Mill rose officials. realizing Peltzer's con- dition. would attempt 10 split the field in the half mile. making two "SSO's" where one grew before. Ii this were done. Edwards. Sober. Me Cafferty and others might be placed

in the one and Peltzer and the rest of the field in the other.

or the uelu lN tue OtAeE.
 F The Teuton himself expressed the hope that this would be done. de- claring his inexperience in indoor racing coupled with the fact that he has travelled thousands of miles on trains since he arrived in this coun- try. made 1t imperative that he have a tune-up race or two.
 There appeared to be considerable doubt whether Dr. Peltzer would be able to make a third American ap- pearance. Although the 14-day per- iod stipulated by German authori- ties might have been cable error in view of the fact that international amateur athletic federation rules provide a el-day competitive period in similar cases, the seven extra days still would make it impossible for him to enter either the National A. A. '. indoor championships here February c5 or the K. of C. meet four days later. An extension of both time limit and the number of his appearances seemed to be the on- ly solution 10 the various problems that have arisen

 Brsitol's home floor will be In Red Mems hall. An inspection of the property showed that the playing surface and accomm odations for pa irons were sufficiently large. The league managers will meet within the next few days to revise the schedule Bristol's home nights have not yet been decided upon.
 There will be no change in tho playing personnel Of the team at the present time, according to Ar. Walsh. The naming of . manager will take place either today or to. morrow and he will probably be . Bristol man who will be able tp re- main on the spot at all times.

DECISIONS PROTESTED
Athletic Commissioner Asked to At- tend as Many Basketball Games as Possible.


 Chicago, Feb. 2 lH - So many decisions have been protested by the fans in the Big Ten basketball game that Major John L. Griffith. ath- letic commissioner of the conference has been asked to attend as many games as possible to observe the work of the referees with a view to taking over the task of assigning officials hereafter.
 Conference coaches feel that virtually every booed decision was just, but they desire some sort of official action.
 The referees apparently have a harder time pleasing the fans than do the football arbiters because the crowd has a closeup on every play.
