release of 1916 pitching records to-
Cay. stamping the Cleveland aces
348 whiffs last season as new
major league mark after months OF
wrangling over the 1904 strlkeout
total of Rube Waddell.
Waddell's strikeout total Tor the

ranging from 343 to 349. An As

statisticians went along with that
arithmetic until Ernest Lanigan,
director of the Cooperstown Mu-
scum. discovered a supposed dis
crepancy and boosted the figure to
BAT. Since no official records were
kept in the early years OF the Amer

compiled by Waddell remains hazy.
