Lyons Of White Sox, Veteran Pitcher, Had Best E. R. Mark

registered by Bobby Teller for cleve- land.
 The A season duplicated the lo4i American league campaign in pro- viding no no-hit games. It was the goth time in the circuits his- tory constituting 6 major league record--in which Q pitcher failed to notch . hitless game.
 Next best department was shut. outs and Bonharn turned in six blankouts in his 27 starts, along with a three-hitter and a four. Init. ter, to lead that division. He was taken out only five times and had 9 complete games. Hughson built up the same amount of complete games in his 90 starts and turned in four shutouts while Lyons fin- ished all he started.
 The most called on finisher was Johnny Murphy of the Yankees who was in there at the end of 26 con- tests, after engineering 3l windups the previous season.
 Circuit wild man was Phil March. ildon of the Philadelphia Athletics He walked l40 in PA innings during which he also famed no. Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Tigers gave up IA free tickets for the sec- ond highest pass total. Marchildon also set the pace in hitting batters with l3, just two more than were recorded by Johnny Niggeling of the St. Louis Browns, and in wild pitches, with B.
 Hughson pitched the most innings with 28l and faced the most bats. men with i052. Jim Bagby oof Cleveland trailed in both features, with 27l innings and 1035 batsmen. Joe Haynes, Chicago relief special. ist, appeared in the most games, 40. Not So Good
 Most runs scored were of Sid Hudson of Washington who gave up l40 in 239 innings. However, the 116 earned runs scored of him were surpassed by the IF allowed by Buck Newsom, his teammate.
 Eden Auker of the Browns gave up the most hits, yielding 273 in 249 innings.
 Complete games for the whole league were up from 569 in 4l to 587 last season. The Yankees led with 88 to the White Sox' 86. Yan- kee pitchers compiled the best earn ed run mark with 2.9l to Detroit's 3.13.

 New York, Dec. 22.--(UP)-Tec Lyons, pitching patriarch of the Chicago White Sox, completed % consecutive years of mound serv- ice last season by compiling the best earned run average in the American league, official averages based on 10 GOT more innings dis. closed today.
 Lyons stepped directly off the Baylor University campus in 1923 to . steady job with the White sox. Despite his 42 years, he has be- come the best Sunday pitcher in the game. He registered a mark of 2.i0 while winning IA and losing only six. He worked in l60 innings faced 6Sl batsmen, allowed i67 hits, 42 earned runs out of total of 52, gave tip % bases on balls and famed 50.
 A pair of New York Yankees righthanders, Ernie Bonham and Spud Chandler, followed Lyons fin the earned run tables. Bonham one of the two pitchers to win 20 or more games in 42, compiled a mark of 2.27 to Chandler's 2.37.
 Bonham won 2l and lost five while working in 226 innings against $40 batters. He allowed l99 hits and 67 earned runs, 24 bases on balls and famed Fl. Chandler triumph ed in i6 games to five losses, allow ed i76 hits in POI innings while fac- ing 743 batters. He gave up 5S earned runs, famed "A and walked "A.
 Twenty Game Winners
 Bonham and Tex Hughson of the Boston Red Sox were the only men to top the 20-games-won mark Bonham's record ranked him third in the won-and- -lcst percentage col umn while Hughson's with the league-high total of % victories against six losses placed seventh with .7s6.
 No. l man in the victory-average column was Wilbur Rutland of the Red Sox whose seven victories and one defeat gave him a mark of .875 Rutland also tied the major league record for the most putouts made by pitcher In single game with i've.
 Strike out honors went to Hugh son with ii3 in 28l innings and Buck Newsom who whiffed the same amount in 2i4 innings with Wash ington. Last years total was 26C

 A ball player must be a team man, no matter how painful, to be a Yankee.
 Rosar, a good enough mechanical catcher and a roaring right hand hitter, read himself out of the pie ture last July when, on the eve of an important series ard with faith full Bill Dickey injured, he shuffled of to Buffalo to take civil service examination for the cops.
 Aaron Robinson, up from Newark Is being counted upon to be Dickey,s right hand man next spring. Rollie Hemsley and Ed Kearse are still around and Ken Sears is being brought back from Kansas City.
 Extra-curricular activity is the principal reason why Roy Cullenbine has been shipped from Brooklyn to the Browns to Washington to New York to Cleveland.
 Weatherly was the one Indian who got along with Oscar Ostra- cized Witt, and he has not been able to hit 1t of with anyone in the wigwam since.
 Grimes is 8 clever utility infielder who has been hampered by injuries the past two campaigns.
 All four are in 3-A, which is a terrific baseball recommendation these days.
 Speaking of his left field problem. for example, Bill McKechnie points out that Gee Walker has four chil- dren and Frank Kelleher two. While he has no children. Eric Tipton is in 4-F because of perforated ear drums and color blindness. That practically makes Dukes famous kicker a star.
 Deacon McKechnie has forgotten how many left fieiders he has tried but since he was installed at CroSley Field in 1888
 This reminds Horace Stoneham that the Giants have had similar difficulties at third base.
 No fewer than 24 different ath- letes have patrolled the far turn for the Polo Groun6ers since 1882.
 In the aorder named. they have been Johnny Vergez, Gilbert Eng fish, Fred iLndstrom, Travis Jack son. Charley Dresser. Blondy Ryan. Mel Ott, Mark Koenig. Eddie Mayo. Lou Chiozza, Ott again.
