Excellent opportunity for an inspec-
ton of Brillheart was anorded the
fans yesterday. One or more OF the
Braves were on the bases in all five
of the rounds the eighteen-year-old
forkhander toiled. He was as cool
as the proverbial cucumber, issued
only two passes and seemed to, en-
ploy as much stuff when watching run

made a distinct hit with the bugs.
Gleason showing was less i'm

was effective, nevertheless.

double in the first inning when Milan

Judge made niftick one-hand

Ed Walsh did a pretty satisfactory
fob of guessing back of the bat. Most
of the jumps err frequently in the
spring before they get their sights
adjusted and Walsh yesterday was
about as accurate as the general run
of them at this time of the year. The
former pitching star would be as
sured of success in his arduouS role
