b Company's left-handed slabster,
pitch game in which he had good
support. During the past two years
this pitcher had to continually fight
a losing game. literally pitching his
heart out trying to save a bunch OF
rank bushers from being beaten. No
matter how good game he pitched,
and most of them were mighty good
ones. innumerable and inexcusable er-
rors behind him made his task hope
less.

a wild pitch. an infield out and Wat

run for his company. In the second
frame, although getting two hits, B

held scoreless and hitless until the
eighth by excellent pitching and good
fielding, while + scored one in the Sd
