Hubbell And Dizzy Dean Share Pitching Honours In The National League

But aside from those two, neither the championship New York Giants nor the dangerous Cards offered anything in the way of hurling brilliance, according to the official averages released today. A2 a result, honors for being the best rounded pitching staff in the league went Cubs’ throwing troupe.

For the third time in his career, Hubbell won the annual pitching Prize-the lowest earned nm aver- age. He finished up with a record

cnly 2.41 runs earned off his de-;

livery per nine-inning game. In addition, he became the seventh pitcher since 1912 to top the loop in both earned run average and won and lost percentage by posting 28 victories against six defeats. He wound up the season with an unflnrhed streak of 16 straight triumphs, the longest winning

Settling an argument that ha: been goingthe rounds since the campaign closed, the official averages she-ed old Diz saw more duty than any other pitcher. He served in 315 innings, 51 games, and came up with an earned run average of 3.17, not far~off Hub- bel‘s pace. By pitching 28 complete games, he also finished what he started more o't-=- than any other hurier in the league.

With these two ....rowers divid- in; most of the spoils, there wasn't m"ch left for the otherr. However, the records show the list of lead- ers included such as Brooklyn's Van Mungo, with“ 23a strikeouts: Pittsburghs Red Lucas allowing the fewest hits, 1'18, and the few- est on balls, 26, although he work- ed in only 176 innings; Big Jim Weaves. alo of the Pirates, with only one hit batsman for the sea- son, and Lucas and the Cubs’ Larry French heaving only one wild pi.ch each all year,

Perhaps the most erratic hurlers were Mango and the Phlllles con- verted third-birman, Bucky Walter. In addiricn to taking the throne as the “strikeout king" and tying a. leaglue record with seven straight strikeouts against Cin- cinnati ln June, the temperament- al Brooklyn right hander alto came up with a “goat role’ by isssu- lng 118 walks and flinging 10 wild pitches. In this latter respect, Wild Bill Haliahan lived up to his nick- name by throwing 11 wild pitches.

Written for The Canadian Press By ROBERT D. FOBSTER

TORONTO. Dec. 25-(6?) - A hundred thousand I‘ adians are scooting down the hillsides-or learning to scoot-on skis. A mere handful of them are doing it “by the book," which is as good a

reason as any why Canada failed to

win points at the 1936 Winter Olym-

pic Games at snowy Gannisch-

Partenkirchen. | Canadian skiing, as it heads into

1937, provides every indication of,

enjoying its greatest season, not

alone numerically, but through a

definite trend which is swaying the

sport. The idea has been simply

_ “get out and ski," but the 1937 node will decree “learn to ski." '

While Canadian Olympians fig- ured as “also rans" in the Bavar-

‘ an Alps last winter, failing to ap- , pear in the scoring summaries, the benefits of their trip to Garmisch- Jartengirchen are beginning to un- fold. Outclassed in competition, .hey showed powers of absorption, however, and now they are back in Canada preaching a gospel of European technique. ,

Bud Clark of Ottawa, after view- p

_lng the methods of overseas skit classes, has stablished a ski school- house in the Gatlneau Hills near the capital. Dr. W. L. Ball. an- other Olympian, is coach at McGill University, assisted by Henry Pang- man. MbGilrs skiers and many, others, are leamlng European wrinkles by lecture and practice.

l Karl Baadsvik, noted Jumper and ail-round skier, is in Toronto, and haswoiunteercd his aid in, thatl district. They all bring out the glaring truth, an issue somewhat neglected in the past. Canada must educate its skiers and not let them stumble along, learning by natural instincts.

l "We are not so far behind in

| jumping and cross-country, ed-

‘ ucationally," said Pangman, man- ager of the Olypmlc team, “for we hold the fundamental thoughts back of both. It is in slalom and downhill where we lag far behind the Europeans."

l Pangman and Ball have already given instruction in non-skid turns

for slalom and downhill, a techni-

que difficult to master, but one

l which will be vitally important in

, cutting down racing times, as the

: turns are taken with a minimum

‘slackening of speed.

In sending the national cham- pionships to Banff, Alta... in March, the Canadian Amateur Ski As- sociatlon is doing much to raise

l ski-consciousness in this counixy, and point out the opportunities

which the Rockies present. The

meet will reveal Alpine conditions close at hand.

pants behind Blackpool in the sec- ond division. The Argyle enter- tained Swansea 'I‘own ad could only get one point, the game ending in .a scorelrss draw.

One fixture was played in the Scottish Foot-ball League. Patrick ‘Thistle and St. Mirren tangled on the fonnefs ground’ each emerging with a point. Final score was 1-1.
