FOR CAIRO FANS

The redoubtable Freeman was at

yesterday Freeman is pitcher with
4 reputation. The result, 2 to in
favor of Cairo exhibits whether the
reputation is substantial or simply
rests upon a foundation of hot air,
Freeman has pitched some good
games and made a record for strike
outs in a sixteen inning game, but he
was not facing a gang of hitters at
the time. Yesterday he pitched as
well as he ever pitched-he tried fast
ones. slow ones. slow drop. punk balls,
raised ones, inshoots and outcuryes-
in fact he mixed them up pretty cleY'
erly. but he only struck out six Cham
pions. In the fourth and fifth innings
he was touched up pretty lively with
the result that two runs were scored,
one of which was earned.
Holycrcss, for the Champions held
the Indians completely at his mercy
during the entire nine innings, only
four hits being secured off him. He
had almost perfect control combined
with his terrific speed which made
him invincible. The errors that the
Champions made were not costly,
while one of those made by the visi-
tors was clearly responsible for the
second run scored by the Champions,
Only in the first did it look like the
visitors were dangerous.
