PITCHES SNARTLY
Schacht pitched smartly but when
ordinary singles take unto themselves
wings and fly right over players
heads, what is a pitcher to do under
the circumstances.
Schacht did well enough.
Acosta, the newest Griffman, 10
about as tall as Eddie Foster. He,
too was a victim of i'll luck. Besides,
he must start game before much
can be learned regarding his ability.
He had a good fast ball and handled
himself like a veteran. Swapping Bill
Snyder for Acosta promises to be a
wise move, for the Cuban knows how
to pitch, even though he may be lack
ing lot of stuff.
Society note-Bobby Roth was seen
devouring a pineapple sundae last
night. Must be trying to change his
luck.
