Moore Of Kansas City and

leaguers, shared top honors among
American Association pitchers for 1885.
Moore, whose "sinker" won many
victories for the New York Yankees
and Boston Red Sox, captured IS de-
cisions and lost to turn in the
highest percentage mark, .750. He also
tied Bob Klinger of Columbus in ap-
pearances on the mound, playing in
49 games.
Braxton, southpaw star who played
with many clubs during his major
league career, was leader in the earned
run column, holding his opposition to
1922 per game. Mays Copeland of Co
lumbus and Clyde Halter of Milwau-
kee topped Braxton with earned run
averages of 2.77 and 2ss, respectively.
but worked in only IA games each,
whereas Garland was out there firing
in 80 contests.
Ryba Next to BraxtOn.
SECOND to Braxton in earned runs
was Mike Ryba. who did little Of
everything for Columbus. Although
he caught, played in the outfield and
made occasional appearances as an
tnfielder, the hard-working Ryba found
time to win 20 games while losing 9
for ia percentage and a 3.29 earned
run mark Rosy Bill Ryan of Min
neapolis won IL games and lost 4 to
rank second to Moore in percentage
at .733.
America (Crip) Polh, Milwaukee
veteran, accounted for the leagues
first no-hit triumph since Floyd New
kirk Of st. Paul stopped Kansas City
cold May 20, 1888. Polli's no-hit, no.
run gem was accomplished at the exc
pense Of St. Paul on September Z. No
one-hit games materialized, but two
hitters were produced by Copeland,
Dennis Galehouse of Minneapolis and
Buck Marrow, who served with Min
neapolis and Louisville.
Jack Using Of Louisville was the
strike-out king, cutting down 230 bats
men. He also was the most liberal
with passes, walking 142. The Colonel
husky worked in 49 games for another
top mark.
Hal Smith of Kansas City hit the
most batsmen, 10, and Truett Sewell
of Louisville lost the most games, 20,
while winning 6.

was any complaint to be made no one

Lawson Little's fine golf
proved how quickly he could
get back on his game.
After six weeks of Winter IN New
York and Chicago, no one expected
him to. keep the course smoking. But
after one workout he settled down to
the straight, long hitting that VIII

But the same scientific foot ball
shark gives University of Mississippi a

That makes Ole Miss look better.
But the Cardinals don't have to be-
lieve it.
Maryland Stands Sixty Seventh.
THIS latest Williamson list has

Ole Miss rates little higher with
the likes of Tennessee, Oregon, Navy,

the Cardinals in the newest rating

seventh with rating of It's. Others
in Maryland's class are Harvard. New

the start of the season, Williams and
Florida.
Last of Washington's "big four" in
the Williamson ratings is George
Washington. 1t is in ninety-second
position with a rating Of 66.2. The
Colonials are just back of Wake For

THE No. and No. 10 teams OF the
current Williamson ratings are
slated for competition in the Rose
Bowl and the No. and No. 4 teams
will sweeten the Sugar Bowl. Last
season the Williamson System pre-
dicted that Alabama would slaughter
Stanford. It did. This time William
son sees Southern Methodist winning
over Stanford rather handily. In the
Sugar Bowl at New Orleans the prog
nosticator believes that, according to
mathematics, Louisiana State will
have an edge of about field goal,
but not a full touchdown over Texas
Christian. Something Of a toss-up
he believes.
And there's another bowl game, that
one in the Sun Bowl in which Hardin
Simmons of Texas, scrappy little
team, will tackle New Mexico State.
Williamson figures Hardin Simmons
should emerge victor by touchdown
or two.
In the Shriners' East-West game at
San Francisco next Wednesday, the
Williamson System Is inclined toward
the West. That inclination is not the
result of a mathematical conclusion,
however.
