Pitchers Twirling Feature

The work of the pitchers. Sager and
Brennan were features. Sager was
practically invincible, Cony securing
but one lone hit, and he issued free
transportation but once. From the
time Cony secured their first and only
hit Sager seemed to grow stronger and
soon had the Cony batters eating
from his hand. Not only was he I'M
h.table but he displayed remarkable
GOODNESS for High school pitcher, alb
solutely refusing to be the least bit
ratified when Cony's whistle brigade
began their seance.
Brennan Pitches Well

delivery proved a puzzle TO Gardiner.

times to rattle the snare for the home
team. A large delegation from Angus

in giving encouragement by the school
cheers.

diner two were earned, McFarlane's
long hree-bagger producing these.

but so fast was the defensive work OF
Gardiner that two men were nipped at
the plate while attempting to score on
hits, and on one occasion Brennan
WAS caught mapping off second. Gar
diner made three errors, one being an
easy muff by Sager and the other two
were redeemed by Gardiner retiring
the men later on in the inning. OF
Conys five errors, three proved costly.
P Talbot's work at short was a repe-
ttion of that of the recent Brunswick
Gardiner game. He accepted eight
