rs us a pitcher, perhaps ne\er will be
equalled. He led the league for five
successive years. Here is his record:
Games. Per
Season. Club. Pitched. Cent
1872 Boston 47 870
1877 Huston 60 729
1874 Boston 60 717
1876 Boston 67 .899
1n76 788
His record of .899 made in 1875 is
the highest ever turned in by a
pitcher.
After orbing those records one must
admit that there seems to lie some
justification for the continual co-rak
ing of the old-timers that “baseball
today ain't what It uster he when we
was young fellers.”
John M. Ward, now business man
ager of the Brooklyn Federal League
team, pitching for Providence in 1879,
worked in 65 games for an average of
.702. James E. Whitney, of Boston,
led the National League pitchers In
1887 with an average of .687 ror 62
games
"Bill” Hutchison, of Chicago, was
the lust of the "truck horse" pitchers
of tile early days in 1891, he averaged
.696 for 67 games.
• Carried Only Two.
In the days before the Brotherhood
war—which resulted in the bettering
of players conditions—most of the ma
jor league clubs carried only two regu
lar pitchers. Some, during certain por
tions of the season, carried only one,
an infielder or outfielder relieving him
Occasionally. On these occasions tho
regular pitcher got a “rest" by taking
the place of the fielder who substi
tuted for him.
The best record for the number of
games pitched in one season, since
191. was hung up in 1908 by “Big Ed"
Walsh of the White Sox, when he
hurled in 65 games, with a winning
percentage of .727. Jack Shesbre, thp
former New York Yankee pitcher, fig
ured in 57 games in 1904 and grabbed
off .774. Joe McGlnnlty, then with
the Giants, pitched 51 games in 1904
and finished with a record of .814.

To do this get common sea salt, pur
