FOR TWO EXHIBITIONS


Otto Brazell pitching his first
game Of the year. made it two
straight for the Chicks over the
Boardwalk Buds here yesterday af-
ternoon. s to 4. Il was one Of those
listless games that although SEEM
ingly cinched for the leaders IN any
inning. actually belonged to either
team until the last man was down.
Otto was as wild as a baseball de-
hutante could be, but at that he
shaded Kraurer until he looked like
n storm cloud. The big Chick ia

breezing one and walking four. In

twirler out for the first time, the sea-
soned Kraurer bad to stand for the
expected unlucky thirteen wallops,

and the veteran got wise. True, he
went bad in spurts on one or two oc-
PASSIONS afterward. but Il was while
