Boyle, "and pays no attention to the

ened the firing and pitched brilliantly
for five innings. Not score was made
Off Peck and he could have gone the
full distance had Jack wanted him to.
The Poor Jumps.
Landry is working hard on Bran
non. his young lefthander, and sent
him in to finish the game. Brannon
got away good except in the sixth in
ming when a bum decision by the
jumps paved the way for the two runs.
Brannon had Manager Bay of the
Madison club struck out when the UNI
pire gave him a base on balls. The
next hitter poled a homer and scored
the two runs that beat the sox.

Anderson reported at Madison yes

sacker and Landry 10 tickled to death
to grab him, according to Boyle. An
derson played with tho Manistee club
Of the Michigan State league last sea-
son. McGhee, Landry's crack third
sacker, was on the same club. The
Manistee club broke up and both
players became FREQ agents. Cham
paign 10 a heavy hitter but is having
trouble in his fielding. Jack will keep
him, however. in the hopes that he will
develop.
McGhee will be one of the star in
fielders Of the league, Pat Boyle says.
He IL fast, sure fielder and can hit the
ball, declares Patrick. '.All of the vet
Grams are going fine. We will have one
Of the best pitching STATS on the cir
cult This Brannon looks like a find.
He Is 4 big fellow only II years Of age.
Rhoades Is in grand style,
Dunn will be back at his old job
at second. Martin plays neat game
but he doesn't size up with the vet
eran William yet. Cullis is playing a
snappy game 1T short and hitting bet
ter Glass ana Persch are hitting the
ball hard and will be we'll above the
800 mark when the league gets un-
der way. Landry has been spending
his time teaching the recruits. You
Wouldn't know Jack ever had a sore
limb.
Everything looks fine and I think
we will have one Of the best clubs in
the League. Superior ought to finish
one, two. three.
