E.Gd, Remission was in the box for
Augusta. ana while his uniform good

pitched, Saturday. wLs one of the best
pitched by any pitcher III the TROLLEY
League this season. He allowed but
four nits. 80 bases on balls, threw on"
ball wild. allowing a runner to go from
first to second. and secured one of IN =
sever hits credited to his team. That
is 4 pretty good record and one that Il
is safe TO say Will not be equailed this
season. But the funny part of it was
that lie would have scored a shut out
