Two Well Known Ball Pitchers OPP
pose Each Other at Frisco.

Two formerly of Kansas ball pitchers
We're pitted against each other in Cali
fornia Saturday. Roy Evans tossed the
ball for Frisco's team and Elmer
Stricklett for Sacramento. The Bull
letin says.
Roy Evans and the cooI-headed
Stricklett alternated on the slab and
both pitched excellently, but the shade
was in favor of the latter who walked
but one hitter, and allowed but six hits
which were scattered for the most part
Evans was hard to find, but unfor-
tunately weakened a trif1e at the finish,
when Sacramento won out by a score of
to in a ten inning struggle. Stricklett
had perfect control of the ball Not
until the tenth did he walk a man The
only fault that can be found with his
delivery is the slowness with which he
handles the ball.
