Jack Barry after the game yes

There were some nice individual
examples with the club In yestcr-
days game. Bobby Coltrin. the
williams shortstop. Is an accredited
weak hitter. That was tho reason
assigned last fall why a deal for
his purchase was not put through
BIZ the White Sox. Also. the same
reason why he did not stick with
Walt Mercedes Coasters this
sprfng. Too light hitter. But he
looked like a heavyweight yestcr-
day. He got only two hits out OF
five trips. but the way he stepped
up and banged them made him
look like a real sluggsr. Excepting
Williams and Pitcher Tonneson.
every Pippin got two hits. Mic got
one. and Tommy proved that there
are exceptions to all rules. notably
the one that all pitchers are poor

Blaine Gordon. Mike Lynchs

the Tigers in the winning column
He held the Canadian champs to 8
hits and runs. The Tigers did IT.

President Waftelet OF the Vic
toria Islanders must be q very
CHEEKY individual today. He's been
telling US a. along what a real
