SANBORN Compilation of the records of the major league season of 1910 produces evidence evi-dence that the American league pitchers, collectively, were not as effective as those in the National league, although the same dope in previous seasons indicated the slab superiority of the younger circuit. One pitcher in each league Inscribed his name permanently in the hall of fame by delivering a no-hit game of nine innings. in-nings. The fortunate ones were Hod El-ler El-ler of Cincinnati, who shut St. Louis out without a safe swat in May, and Ray Caldwell, the circuit trotter, who held New York to no hits after being transferred trans-ferred from the Red Sox to the Indians. There were four games in each major league this year in which a "slabman held his antagonist to one safe hit, but there the equality in the dope ceases. National league hurlers delivered eight two-hit performances against six of that kind in the American league. In the matter of three-hit games there were thirty-nine in the older circuit and only twenty-one in the junior league. Only two years ago four American league pitchers made no-hit records, and one in the National league emerged with a clean slate." In that year there- were twelve one-hit games in the American against three of that kind in the National. Na-tional. Hurling Swings to National. In the total number of games in which less than four hits were made the record was i n fa vo r of the A m eri ca n 1 eag u e i n 1917 by seventy -five to sixty -five. Last year the total of games in which no more than three hits were garnered off a slabman was in the younger circuit's favor fa-vor by fifty-three to fifty-two, and some of the falling off in both leagues was due to curtailing the schedule by a month. This year American league slab men have held their opponents to three hits or less in only thirty-two games, while National league pitchers have, done it in fifty-four battles. On the other hand, the American league bats men may have improved. There are always two sides to any baseball argument. Record for the Season.
