Anarchist statistics

Last week's games

What went right?
Bill Terry hit .349 to win the NCL batting title. Terry also smacked 27 homers and had 112 RBI. The Anarchists had the best defense in the league, leading with their fielding percentage of .987 and making just 78 errors, fewest in the loop.

What went wrong?
West Seattle's team ERA was 5.18, significantly worse (.19) than any other club. Carl Hubbell led the club with a 4.38 ERA and struck out 203 batters (third in the league) in 254 innings (fifth). Paul Derringer (9-12, 4.44) was the only other hurler on the staff to work 200 innings. Dizzy Dean (7-11, 5.41) was a big disappointment. So was Mel Ott, despite the fact that he led the team in homers (37), runs (108) and RBI (116). He batted just .249; West Seattle had expected more.

The Anarchists draw their nickname from the independent (and often anti-City Hall) spirit of the people of the Duwamish Peninsula. West Seattle has often threatened to secede from the rest of the city.
