WARRIOR Has 70 Pitch.
Dir. WARRIOR, who is celebrated for
his stde-arm delivery. has had to 60
some TO keep the Richmond boys from
pounding his shoots all over the lot.
Elements. McCabe, Eagan and Cow
an psited him 70 hard Tuesday that
in the fourth inning he became peey-,
ish and used the best In his reper4
tory. Even then he failed to phase
the home team to any great extent.
and Richmond lost q run ON him In
the nth because George Cowan was
held at third on Elements fly TO
center.
Cowan In not the fastest man on
the team. but In the opinion Of the
fans II would have been better to
have sent him home when lube
caught the ball. even II II was in
short center. That made two out,
no other base was occupied and Cow

possible bad throw 20 escape being
the third out.
The throw was wide and Cowan
could have scored. Instead. the mat

out -Wn q ny and Cowan was left
stranded. Had he been sent In the
worst that could hare happened TO
him would have been a putout.

II allowed that he has a strong
pitching star. Ward and Pierce. who
we're on the mound Tuesday. may be
shy on experience. but they have the
goods.
Pierce has speed, a splitter that
breaks like . streak. a beautiful curve
ball that fooled -timers like Birdie

Pierce will do nicely when he learns
how 70 handle bunts. The New York
boys had tried everything and found
him hard to solve. Then they began
