70 STRUCK OUT
BY YOUNGSTER
AT BRONX OVAL
Nipple, of Evander Childs,
Sets 1916 High Mark for
SchoOlbOy Fingers.
BY CAVE.

Another brilliant pitching perform
ance was added TO the many recorded
by local schoolboys this season when
Jim Nipple. of Evander Childs High
School, struck out twenty Morris High
School batsmen in sharply played
game at Bronx Oval yesterday.
Evander was the winner by score
of 3 TO 2, getting a good start with a
two-run tally in the opening inning
The victory virtually gave the so-called
Manhattan championship to Evander,
although the Public Schools Athletic
League does not award a title in the
sport.
Nipple was opposed by Norman
Meany, regarded as one of the best
school twirlers in the district, and who
is in demand by major and several
minor league clubs. Meany famed
eleven batters, but gave one pass-a
misdemeanor of which his opposing
moundsman was not guilty.
Evsnder was outbatted by Morris by
eight hits TO six, but made most of its
hits count. Meany got off to a wsbbly
start, but was invincible after the
fifth.
Nipple gathered twelve Of his strike
out victims during the first five inn
ings. One Of his strongest supporters
on both offence and defence was Res
sum, at second base, who handled
seven chances and bstted out two time
ly doubles.
