HOUSTON. Tex, March ST think
Bill Burns is as great a left-handed

marked Manager Cantillon this morn
Ing, in discussing the big fellows work
against Houston yesterday.
Anytime a southpaw has control and
speed he comes right in line for a label
as a STAR continued the much-pleased
Joseph.
And Burns has just exactly both
these things Besides, he is as strong
as bull. with an enormous amount Of
reserve power for pinches." The Times
was constantly drilling that into the
fans last year about Burns. and II was
right When he gets into a tight place,
instead of weakening. he lets go new
brand of speed that even his team
mates did not know he possessed. That
tickles a manager as much as ii does
the fans. and Burns can turn the trick
better than any man 1 could name in
the port side brigade. These kindly
words were fully deserved.
Houston had several excellent chances
to score yesterday, and Washington
inheId was almost a joke because Of
the soreness OF the men, but whenever
the situation became acute, Burns cut
loose a few extra kinks. and the Hous-
ton batters were at his mercy. He is
using a cross-fire this year more than
ever before, and It is a mighty puz-
