Balliett, one OF the good pitchers
of this section, was in the box for
McGregor, but like all good pitchers,
who get out of luck at times, could
not deliver the goods. He is one of
those mild tempered fellows, when
lie is asleep, and he lost his head
and his control, because the locals
we're hitting his delivery little too
freely and it no doubt hurt his pride.
