the hardest working backstops In the
league. and his work In holding up
pitchers deserves all kinds of credit
in the game yesterday he was at all
times the master of the situation, and
Pierce owes much of his success TO the
Eeneralship of the man behind the
mask. Notithat Pierce pitched anything
but Al ball. The fact that he let
those hard hitting Tigers down with

hetinfeld and was safe on a close de-
cision at frst. proves that he did pitch
good baseball The added fact that

1t was rs complete a reversal OF
form as one could imagine. Studying
the game play by play, II makes one
feel good and nearly makes one forget

there the suspicion OF misplay. That
happened in the very first inning.
