A year later John Clarkson, another of the great old-time pitchers, twirled 70 games for Chicago, getting a rating of .790. Hour years later —in 1889 — '■larkson equalled Radbourne's record for the number of games pitched in one season, by twirling 72 for a per centage of .7.78. The Record.

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.

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.
