some stages of yesterdays game. He
used some real pitching sense to pull
himself out Of holes. When he had
three men en- bases and none out he
had to reckon with three Of the
heaviest hitters on the Suffolk club
MeCann. Crow and oldring-and he
managed to get out without any dis,

counter. fans were rendered their
first opportunity To see Lee Gooch.
the big Georgian, in action. He
didn't have much Of a chance to
show what he could do out in right

benders Tar enough during the aftSr-
noon to secure three bases. He
over and drove the ball just inside
Of the right field foul line. He hit
couple Of other ones hard. but that
one proved to be his lone safety OF
the afternoon. Gooch comes here
with reputation ~ 4 natural slug-
ger. and he looks to be every inch
OF It.
