O. the game resulted from taking ad-
vantage of the misplays of the visiting
battle. The grand pitching by the
two youngsters made that one lone
run grow to mountainous size ere
,he journeys end was reached.
Lewis decided to give Boyer his first
chance on the mound. The Barberton

the bases were filed with none out
after Marion in the previous inning
had scored once. Boyer went to work
and Youngstown was completely hum
bled and held scoreless. And all of
this happened without the pitcher us
ing a curve ball. A loo of speed coupled

were kept nicely scattered.
Goulait came on in the seventh. In
three innings only one Youngstown man !
reached first and he got there because
he was unable to get out of the way
OF fast one. The only thing that
resembled a hit was "A Texas leaguer

after hard run.

sent to the hill to open up the matinee

with effect. His splitter his fast curve
and his speed ball were all there and |
were new things for Diggers to look
at. But even. with all this Bair lost |
