COCKRILL .HURLS
NJ HIT, No
+ j \ { 4 NJ {
By Al Munro

tered ball with deadly effect rowed his
little canoe through our American
Giants last Saturday in great style.
The lad had eight other men to assist
him, but in reality they just as well
have remained on the bench, for it was
due entirely to Cockrelrs efforts that
our clan was BANKED
The Giants could not get the slight
est resemblance OF hit Not man
reached second base and the two who
got as far as first class were permitted
to do so through a bit of courtesy on
the part OF the umpire and not Cock
rel.
Grant was out on corker that split
the corner of the plate, but the umpire
elected TO save the record of Charlie
Robertson OF the Sox locally by call
ing it a ball.
Padrone, the Cuban moundsman,
was Rube's selection for chunking pur-
poses, and the Islander was good per-
haps better than the records will show
but what does it profit a man to be
good when another is good, better and
best combined. Yes, Cockrell was
everything. Trying to beat him as he
was Saturday is like trying to pene-

carriages.
Piolet Foster tried everything ina
ginable, in a dying effort to beat the
star, but every effort was that much
strength wasted. after seeing they
could not hit Rube instructed his hire
lings to bunt, this was impossible. they
tried waiting him out, this too was GER
tain death. There was nothing lett to
do but stand UP and take the medicine
and Oh, boyl it was bitter.

shall in few words give you a sum-
mary of the Giants Futile efforts.

We might be tempted to say that
awful yowl over the last ball. which
in our way OF seeing things was some
what justified as the ball cut the cor
ner OF the plate. Grant was nipped off
first a few seconds later on a lightning
like throw Cockrell to Allen. Cockrell
tossed out Padrone. And then 10 make
sure OF his no hit game, Cockrell fan
ned Gardner amid great out burst of
cheers.
