Runs by club, nothing by name
The league publishes runs scored and runs allowed for all twenty-six clubs and no individual figures at all: no averages, no earned run averages, no leaders.
The gap is odd, because the team totals prove the games are being recorded properly. Somebody is adding up every run in five divisions. The at-bats that produced them are being written down and thrown away.
Scoring on High Cheese produces the individual numbers as a byproduct of the same work, and puts each at-bat on the player's own profile, so a man in the 58+ Mariners has a record instead of his club having one.
