Reynolds, Shantz Top Hurlers By BEN OLAN NEW YORK, Dec. 16 (UP)—Righthander Allie Reynolds of the New York Yankees and southpaw Bobby Shantz of the Philadelphia A's were the most effective American League pitchers in 1952, according to official statistics released today. Reynolds, 33-year-old veteran of 10 major league seasons, took earned run honors with a 2.07 average. The strong arm hurler permitted only 56 earned tallies in 244 innings to compile the lowest ERA since Hal Newhouser's 1.94 in 1948. Allie, with an identical 2.07 mark, was on top in the unofficial earned run lists computed by the Associated Press and released in October. The Yankee ace also led the league in strikeouts with 160 and with Mike Garcia of Cleveland was the pace setter in shutouts, each with six whitewashings. Shantz was No. 1 in games won, 24, and in winning percentage, .774. The diminutive lefty, who received the circuit's most valuable player award, only lost seven games. Bobby was third in the earned run ratings with 2.48; a shade back of Garcia's 2.37 slate. Cleveland's Bob Lemon came away with the most complete games, 28, and the most innings pitched, 310. Lemon won 22 games. Early Wynn who captured 23 victories for the Indians, gave up the most bases on balls, 132, and was tagged for the most home runs, 23. Art Houtteman of the Detroit Tigers lost 20 games to lead in that department. The hard luck Bengal won eight games. Behind Shantz in the earned run derby came Lemon with a 2.50 average, Joe Dobson of Chicago, 2.51, Billy Pierce, also of the White Sox, 2.58, Bob Porterfield, Washington, 2.73, Vic Raschi, New York, 2.78 and Washington's Connie Marrero, 2.89.

The AEC said it was awarding the Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Company, El Paso, Tex., a contract calling for maintenance, minor construction and scientific structural services at the Nevada proving grounds beginning Jan. 1. Under the one-year contract—with options for two one-year extensions—the Reynolds firm will maintain permanent facilities at the proving grounds and Camp Mercury where AEC personnel is housed, perform minor construction of test facilities, and provide labor, materials and equipment for erection and construction of scientific equipment and structures which must be performed during actual test periods. While the AEC has not officially announced its next series here, America's atomic tests have followed a general fall and spring pattern in recent years. Nuclear experiments were recently completed at Enlewetok; the last tests here were conducted last spring. The AEC said the Reynolds Company was selected over 18 others. The company did some of the preliminary work for the first Nevada tests in January, 1951, and has had contracts with the AEC since then. On Nov. 14 the AEC awarded a contract for security services at the grounds, and on Dec. 3 a contract was let for feeding, housing and related personnel services at Camp Mercury.

In fact, we're expecting thousands of Christmas trains that day—people going somewhere all the 15,000 miles of S.P. lines. They will include returning servicemen, mothers with children, businessmen, essential service workers, people making "family emergency" trips, and so on. We of Southern Pacific know what it means to Christmas at home, because in serving your travels your freight requirements, around the clock, day day out, year after year many of us cannot spend Christmas at home, either. Ours is a 24-hours-a-seven-days-a-week business, and on Christmas Eve Christmas Day along our 15,000 miles of line, Southern Pacific people will be on the job at lonely outposts in the mountains and on the deserts, at busy terminals and on the train just as every other night and day of the year. So when we say, "Merry Christmas!," you will understand that the words have a special significance to us. We hope you find in dealing with us, at this and every season, that our railroad is a very human thing, built of the hearts and friendliness and aspirations.
