Dutch" Henry, seriously called
pitcher" for the Chicago Americans

about to set an all-time pitching
record in the major leagues as the
month of July fades into the Sum-
mers' heat. It's for losing games.
If the luckless Dutch" keeps up
his present pace he will likely end
the season with the record in his
grasp and an average of less than
100 per cent, for he still has two
months left in which to battle for 1t.
At present he has standing of
.125, having been led to the Slaugh-
ter no fewer than IA times.
Against those IA games he has
only two wins to his credit. That
is the top-line item for freakish
pitching and the Chicagoan seems
determined to bust" the record
made by Rufing in Boston.
Faber of the White Sox is little
better than his teammate. He has
