Interesting Pitching Records.
No pitching records under the scoring rules of 1894 admitted of any data
being made up from which a true criterion of the skill of the pitchers
could be arrived at; nor can there be until the rules give the figures
of "innings pitched in" and base hits made off each inning each pitcher
pitched in. There is scarcely a game in which two pitchers do not enter
the box to pitch, at least in one or two innings; but the scoring rules
do not give the figures of innings pitched in, or how many base hits
were made off each pitcher, and the result is that the total base hits
scored in the game cannot be divided up between the pitchers
correctly. A pitcher goes into the box at the outset of the game, and in
one or two innings he is badly punished. Then a substitute follows him,
and in the succeeding innings not a third of the base hits made off the
first pitcher are recorded against the substitute, and yet not a record
to show this is to be had off the data the scoring rules admit of. Here
is the pitching score which should be used in the summary of each game:
