Borowy Best N. Pitcher
By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer

OAhtC0 ACoS 0PVASS ShASSA
 New York, Dec. IS. (UP)-Slender Hank Borowy, who hurled the Chi cago Cubs to pennant after being sold from the American League in midseason, walked off with the Ma tional League pitching laurels by registering the best 1945 'earned-run average and winning percentage official league statistics revealed to- day.
 After being sold to the Cubs on July 27. Borowy chalked up II vic tories for Chicago while suffering only two SetbackS for percentage of .846. The mark was 57 points better than the one posted by his Brechen of St. Louis, who won Is and lost four.
 Coupled with Borowy's II senior league triunphs, were 10 victories he collected in the American League.
 The total of 21 winning games, pitched in both the American and National Leagues, made Borowy the first moundSman to turn the trick since Iron Man Joe McGinnity won 13 for the Baltimore Americans and eight for the New York Giants in 1902.
 Hanks fast ball and fine con- trol were also responsible for his turning in the lowest earned-run- average, 2.14s. Tn that department, Borowy took over the title won by Cincinnatis Ed Heusser in 1914 with mark of 2.38. Another Red hurler, Elmer Riddle, was the last to win both the earned-run and per- centages titles in the same year, I041
 Charley (Red) Barrett, who divided the summer between the Braces and Cardinals, won the most games, g, completed the most con- tests, 24, pitched the most innings, 285, and allowed the most hits 287. Barrett was one of the two senior circuit pitchers to win 20 games Henry (Hank) Wyse being the other with 9 triumphs.
