BATTERS
BY GARRETT WATERS

by OAnhE1I WAL EMS
When it comes to pitching in
the National League, Carl Hub
bell, the tall, lanky so and so who
did our Washington Griffmen
such wrong in the world series
last September, is generally rated
the merits"
So esteemed a gentleman is
Carl, that the official records tell
the interesting but most logical
story-that he led all pitchers in
the National League during the
hectic campaign of 1933-a sea-
son the Giants will never forget.
. First of all, Mr.. Hubbell was
the most effective hurler among
his brethren with an earned run
percentage of 166 per nine-inn-
ing game. Next, lanky Carl pitched
the most number of innings-309
thirdly, he won the most num-
ber of games-23-and lastly, but
not leastly, as Ben Bernie would
say. he pitched the largest num-
ber of ShutoutS, 10.
Not q Doubt
Now with a pitcher like that,
there shouldn't be any doubt why
: the Giants won the pennant in
1898. In class by himself, that
was Mr.. Hubbell and every reason
why the same said Giants might
cop the old gonfalon again in
1894.
5 Mr.. Jerome H. Dean, Of the st.
Louis Cards, was Mr.. HubbelPs
closest rival in the matter Of hang
ing up impressive marks. Mr..
Dean pitched in the most games,
48, struck out the most batters,
199, leading in this for the second
successive year; tied with Lon
Warneke, of the Chicago Cubs, for
most complete games pitched, rs,
and established a new modern
record for strikeoutS in a single
game by tanning II Chicago Cub
players in the first contest of a
double-header on July 80 at st.
Louis. The former record was Is,
made by Frank Hahn, of the Gin
cinnati Reds in game against
the Boston Braves on May %,
1901, and duplicated by Christy
Mathewson, of the New York
Giants, on October 3, 1904, and
Nap Rucker, of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, on July "a, 1909.
: Right here is a good gag. Ad
Liska, who couldn't make the
grade for the washington Griff-
men, finished the most games as
q super relief hurler for the Phil
adelphia Phils. The total was %.
Iiska hurled in As contests, none
of which were complete for a new
record of some sort, in fact,
formerly held by Bill Ehrhardt,
Of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who
hurled in A games in 1926.
Cincinnati Reds
Paul Derringer, of the Cincin-
natti Reds, lost the most games, II.
Lyle Timing, of the Chicago Cubs,
won 13 games, losing only for an
average of .6G4. Larry French, OF
the Pittsburgh Pirates, faced the
most batters, 1909; Ed Brandt, Of
the Boston Braves, allowed the
most sacrifice hits, 35; Leroy
Parmalee, of the New York Giants,
hit most batters, IA, and made the
most wild pitches, IA; Bill Halahan,
of the st. Louis Cards, handed out
the most number of bases on balls.
90; Walter Beck, of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, allowed the most runs,
1928, while Jimmy Carleton, of the
st. Louis Cards, allowed the most
earned runs, 104.
Nine pitchers were in 20 or more
games. Carl Hubbell, yes, Mr..
Hubbell again, established a new
National League record for con-
Secutive scoreless innings with 46,
from July 13 up to and including
august /. This broke a former
mark held by Ed Reulback, of the
Chicago Cubs, who pitched A con-
Gecutive innings in 1908.
