in a majority of the games played.
THE NEW YORK CLUB'S PITCHING RECORD.
The New York club, in 1894, went through the season's campaign with the
fewest pitchers in their team of any of the twelve clubs. Moreover,
their "battery" teams of the season, as a whole, surpassed those of any
of the club's previous batteries since the club was organized. Led by
Meekin and Farrell--the champion "battery" of 1894--followed by pitchers
Rusie, Westervelt, German and Clarke, with catchers Wilson and Doyle,
the club presented battery strength sufficient to have carried the team
to the goal, but for sundry drawbacks they met with during the early
part of the championship campaign, especially during April and May. And
handicapped as they were, they managed to close the season in second
place, after brilliant rallying work during the last three months of the
campaign, when their pitchers were well backed up by better team-work
than they had at command up to July.
