20-GAME WINNERS THIN OUT

STANDARD DROPS IN MAJORS

At a sports dinner in Springfield, Ill., Dizzy Dean invited his hearers to
BASEBALL stove league chatter: The pitcher who can win 20 games is fast disappearing from the big 1 es.... Not so many years ago the standard by which a first class hurler was measured was his ability to cap- _ ture at least 20 games. . .. In recent seasons, however, the major moundsmen no longer set that mark as their goal. ss « They are content if they can bag 15. ~~ At that, only 18 were able to win 15 or more games in the majors last season, which isn’t a very impressive figure. . . . Four won at least 20, while half of the other +14 just did manage to gather in their 15th triumph. One of the reasons for the few 20-game winners is provided by Charlie Ruffing of the Yankees. . .. He says - that these days clubs have more starting pitchers and a ‘larger staff than they did years ago. : Because of this, Ruffing argues, a pitcher doesn’t get “as much work as he once did and so hasn’t the opportuni‘ties to win the 20 games. : # 8 = 2 #8 & THAT may be the answer, but last year’s records reveal that three clubs in the National League and two in the American didn’t have a hurler who could win 15 games. . « « The National League teams were the Dodgers, the Phillies and the Bees, while the Tigers and the Senators ~ were the American League teams. There were more 15-game winners in the American
League than in the National. ... Ten of the 18 were in
the American, with three of the eight of the National League hurlers being members of the Reds. Bill Lee, of the Cubs, paced all the hurlers with 22 victories. ... Behind him were Ruffing and Paul Derringer, of the Reds, each with 21. ... Buck Newsom, of the Browns, rounded out the select circle with 20 victories. u 4 » " ” ®
LAY BRYANT, of the Cubs, won 19 games; Lefty Gomez, 18; Bob Feller and Mel Harder, 17; Monte Pearson, George Caster and Bob Weiland, 16; Jim Bagby, Jack Wilson, Monte Stratton, Mace Brown, Harry Gumbert, Johnny Vander Meer and Bucky Walter each won 15. Danny McFayden and Jim Turner were the leading winners of the Bees, each turning in 14 triumphs. . . . Claude Passeau, with 11 victories, topped the Phillies’ slabmen, and Vito Tamulis and Luke Hamlin were the best among the Dodgers with 12 triumphs each. Tommy Bridges, with 13, led the Tigers, while Emil Leonard and Wes Farrell were the best among the Senators with 12 victories. . . , In addition, Ferrell won a game after he joined the Yanks to bring his season’s total to 13. . ” u = ” ” 2 Ny Axim at three positions, apart from troubles with pitching,
ruined the chances of the Cleveland Americans last season. . . . They did not have a good throwing center fielder.
