man and went on the grounds unfit for
play. Even at that he played hand

Pepper is hitting as hard as any
body and Rettger tried his best to give
him his base on balls. Pepper would

balls and made safe hits out of them.

the standing of his team reflects very

had cause to kick. His work was as
much different from that of Thursday
as day is from night. We meet Kan

he was yesterday. Come on, Joe, your
