No pitching staff in modern
major league history ever has
failed to notch a shutout in the
course of a season, but the Sena-
tors are threatening to take a
run at the record. F.. +. f. They've
played nearly half their schedule
without banking anybody and
their prospects of going the dis
lance no longer may be con-
lsidered remote.
This is one Of the more for
midable. and least desirable,
marks in the book. Since
1900 nearly 900 teams have
avoided such stigma, with only
the 1919 Philadelphia Athletics,
the 1924 Chicago White Sox and
the 1928 Boston Braves coming
close. They had one shutout
each.
The Senators pitchers have
held the opposition to one run
in only six games so far. with
Chuck Stobbs doing it twice and
