Robinson Scores Technical Kayo

BOSTON, Dec. 23 (U. P.).—Ray (Sugar) Robinson offered convincing new evidence today to substantiate his claim as “uncrowned king of the welterweights” after a sevenround technical knockout over Georgie Martin, of Boston, the New England welterweight champion, in their scheduled 10-round bout last night.’ Robinson, a Harlem Negro, toyed with his smaller oponent through most of the fight and at one point in the third round passed up a chance to knock him out. Martin weighed five pounds more than Robinson, but spotted him almost six inches in height. However, fighting from a crouch that put him almost to Robinson’s knee level, he hampered the New Yorker's usual whirlwind style, preventing him from delivering a clean knockout blow..

Record- Breakin

NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (U. P).—. The National league broke seven major leagué records during the 1944 season, none of which, however,

were of as much consequence as & good base hit in a tight ball game, official league figures released today revealed. Melvin Ott, manager of the New York Giants, was the outstanding record breaker in the league, but most of the standards he set were his own marks to*begin with anyway. The hard-hitting outfielder set seven of the nine new circuit records established and acquired two new major league marks. The St. Louis Cardinals established two new team standards; a double fielding mark and a record for most double-headers won. fensively the chanfpions had an average of 082 for a new record and by making only 112 errors during the campaign, set a new mark for the fewest errors by a team in a season.

Set Twin Bill Mark Offensively the Red Birds swept

record in that department. "The New York Giants cracked the mark for most runs driven in by one club when they defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers, 26 to 8, driving in all of their runs. Ott’'s new major league records were established when he became the first big leaguer to receive five bases on balls in one game on four occasions. He also became the first major leaguer to score six runs in one game on two occasions. Damon Phillips, ‘Boston Braves third baseman, established a new modern record for third basemen when he made 11 assists in one game. Ray Mueller, Cincinnati catcher, broke all endurance records for receivers by stretching his consecutive games caught mark to 217 and the other major league record established was for most pitchers used in a single game, 14, seven each by the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs,

Tie 7 League Records

Seven major league marks were tied by the National league. St. Louis, by winning 100 or mo games for the third successive year, equalled the major league standard and set a mark in the senior circuit. The Cards also left 18 men on base in one game to tie another mark. Other marks tied included Mueller's feat of catching 156

53 s24 |games. Bill Nicholson, Chicago Cub

outfielder, hit four homers in successive times at bat, setting a new league mark and tieing the major league record. The four homers were in a double-header, another tied hig league record and new N. L. mark. Roy Hughes, also of Cricago, ymatched the big league

308 | mark by accepting 13 chances in 304 one game and Nicholson set a new

circuit mark and tiled the major league record when he led -the league in both runs and runs driven

3{in for the second consecutive year.

Here Are Ott's Marks

Ott's new National league marks were: Most home runs, lifetime, 480; most runs scored, lifetime, 1784; most bases on balls, lifetime, 1629; most runs batted in, lifetime, 1777, most times two or more home runs in one game, 49; most extra base hits, lifetime, 1025, and most bases on long hits, 2075. The nine double plays in one double-header, made by St. Louis, gave the Cardinals another league mark. Stanley Musial led the circuit in slugging for the second consecutive season with a percentage of 549. Augie Galan of the Brooklyn Dodgers drew the most bases on balls, 101, and Vince DiMaggio of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was the strikeout king for the third consecutive year, whiffing on 83 occasions.
