Sixteen and eleven on the win-loss line — and a 1.72 ERA that stays cold on the glass. Nine shutouts. A WHIP under ninety-five hundredths. The record said short book; the arm said top drawer. The cartoons vacuum the runs off the board and leave the badge where it belongs.

In 1919 his E.R.A. was 1.72 — frost on a shorter book.
9 SHUTOUTS

CHICAGO 1919
