I told you I didn't have anytime for analysis, but I lied. Here's a quick and dirty looking at the
Pythagorean estimate of W-L record:
PCT = WINS^2/(WINS^2 + LOSSES^2)
with comparisons to actual W-L record. I had to estimate the runs scored agains LVT and KKR who only
reported earned runs, so I used the league average of 1.091 ER/R. Note that 7 of 14 teams fall within
+/- 1 of their actual record. Kansas City and Inwood were definite 'over-achievers' (i.e., actual W-L
record is better than predicted), followed by Cedar Rapids. Havre de Grace (mostly managed by HAL) was
the biggest underachiever, but either way was slated to lose 100 games.
