Marino Pieretti of Washington
was touched for most runs, ia.
Only five hit batsmen were
charged against st. Louis pitch

league record.

Final league statistics showed
Newhouser compiled a brilliant
25-9 record, to rank him best
among the league work-horses
for the second straight year and
weave an amazing two-year vic
tory skein of 81. Last year
Newhouser fashioned a 1913
record.
The 24-year-old Lefty, who
made good in his own home
town, completely dominated Am
erican league pitching last sum-
mer, leading in five departments,
win-loss percentage, earned run
average, strike-outs, most in
nings pitched and most batters
faced.
Although he toiled 313 innings
in 40 games, Newhouser yielded
only So earned runs for an in
credible average of 181. At the
same time, the 6-foot. 2-inch
Tiger pitcher struck out 2l2 Of
the 1882 batters he faced.
MONEY PERFORMER
Not reflected in the imposing
array of statistics was Newhous-
ers immeasurable aid to the
aged, crippled Tigers as mon
ey" performer. 1t was Hurting
Hal who stepped in as a reliefer
to hold the St. Louis Browns at
bay until Hank Greenberg's
grand slam homer won the pen-
nant on the last day of the sea-
son. And it was Newhouser
who waded back after an OPEN
ing game humiliation by the
Chicago Cubs in the world series
to win the fifth and deciding
seventh games.
Bob Muncrief of st. Louis bet
tered Newhouser's .735 percent
age, but the right-handed Brown
lie won less than IS games, fin
ishing with q 1874 record for
.765.
Besides Newhouser. there
were only two other 20-gaIne
winners-Dave Ferris, Boston's

5. Police protection better and
easier to arrange.
6. Officials easier to contract
Z. Greater spectator interest
shown by both students and
ad IT'S.
Both Roy Quinn. present Ath-
letic Director of the high school
and Ernest Buckholz who has
returned from the Navy to take
over the dictatorship post next
semester are in favor of playing
under lights.
Quinn said that the increased
revenue derived from the play
ing under lights would help de-
fray some of the expenses OF the
other sports that are not self
supporting.
He said that at present many
of the schools in the Eastern
Michigan conference are playing
under lights. This puts Mount
Clemens at disadvantage in
that they do not have the prac-
tise under the arc lights.
Buckholz has always shown
great interest in playing night
ball and voiced the hope that
some sort Of arrangement could
be worked out for next year.
It is understood that the ath-
letic department at the high
school is willing to 60 ahead
with the plans for lights if the
school authorities are willing to
finance the installation
A civic organization has Of
fered to provide the funds for
lights and be paid back over
period of years but nothing def
mite has been announced on the
matter.

THE REPORT was submitted
hv Gus Hanson, athletic director
e Ferndale High school, which
but up the arc lights in 1910.
In the absence of MIR. Hanson,
Principal Monte McFarlane read
HE report at the recent football
banquet.
II discloses that the net In
come of the high school athletic
department at Ferndale in l94o
was nine times as great as 1t was
In 1899 the last year OF after
noon play.
In 1889 the high school took
IA s766.1O as compared to So
673. 40 last fall.
In one year from 1899 to 1910,
the first year the lights were
employed the income of the high
school was three times as great,
showing that lights increase the
income of the school in one year
from $766 to $2,305.55. From
1910 it increased every year un-
I'll the high mark Of last fall.
Ferndale had only a mediocre
team last fall but with the great
teams fielded by Mount Glenn
ems the intake should be even
greater.
HANSON POINTED OUT that
by agreement the Ferndale
Board of Education installed
Nights and the High School Ath-
1etic Association and Ferndale
recreation department agree to
each pay one-half the total cost
IA q period Of five years. The
whole cost Of the project was
listed at $4,000 but that included
30 lights, / switch box, poles on
ahe softball field and 1000 8-tier
bleacher seats.
Not only did the varsity cof-
Ears increase but the freshman
md reserve teams also showed q
profit with 500 to 1000 people
6oeins the lesser teams play.
Hanson said that participation
n football has more than doub-
led since 1899 when 80 candi-
dates reported for football to 130
"a 1045. He adds that this num-
her was limited by the amount
" equipment available.
It was pointed out that lights
do, however. necessitate an in
crease In the coaching staff In
that the grid mentors must work
longer hours. Ferndals put two
additional men on their staff
since 1899 and now have four
coaches.
AMONG THE ADVANTAGES
listed to the public and students
ore the following:
!. No school time lost.
Z. Parents are able to attend
ohe games.
8. Bus transportation easier
- arrange because of rush hour.
4. More men available for sup
