NEW YORK, NY. August 1, 1912 - Jeremiah Mooney let his bat do the talking in July and the United League heard him loud and clear. He made plenty of noise as he put together a .392 batting average and was named the top hitter of the month.
Mooney's month to remember saw him accumulate 29 hits, no home runs, 19 runs batted in, 18 runs, 12 walks and a .500 on-base percentage.
Mooney has a .317 average and a .415 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 92 hits, no home runs and driven in 56 runs.
When the Ruby Legs skipper wrote Burrell on the lineup card, it was a bad omen for the opposition. Outing after outing in July he took command and usually got the win.
He dominated with a 6-0 mark and 1.17 ERA in 6 starts. The gifted Ruby Legs star pitched 54 innings, fanned 29 and held opposing teams to a .224 average.
For his excellent mound work Burrell was named the UL Pitcher of the Month by the baseball writers.
Burrell has made 23 starts this season, posting 12 wins and 7 losses. Opposing clubs are batting .250 against him and he has 94 strikeouts in 172 innings with a 2.88 ERA.
