Sun came out In an encouraging man.
ner chill wind made the bleachers
not the most comfortable place from
which to watch the game but over 500
fans journeyed to the park and they
were not all of the male contingent.
Allowance must be made for the
playing of the men when the weather
81 taken into consideration, for a
player would be indulging In the
height OF folly to let himself out and
endanger his playing ability for the
entire season by trying to perform az
IN mid.season. Manager Murphy rec.
ognized that fact and changed the
lineup OF the team from time to time.
Three pitchers were used by him.
Gesselman started the game and
continued for three innings. Five hits
were made of him and one OF them
was q double. Two runs were gather.

by Snyder. the left.handed pitcher
from Wooster. Snyder was way wild
and In the second inning that he work
ed Lima put three runs over the plate.
He gave three bases on balls in the
two innings. Llckenbach went in In
the sixth and he looks like the goods.
He put considerable steam behind HIS
pitching and had very good control.
Beside that he iielded his position the |
way pitcher is expected TO. He
showed up far better than the other |
two pitchers used but II would be pre-.

Lickenbach's two bagger That was
the only time that the Canton team
had any chance 10 score.
Pickett pitched the entire game for
the visitors and he did exceedingly
well. He kept the hits scattered
throughout the game. He used a curve
