Cork" Winterbottom, the Manus'
first sacker, has the distinction of
going through yesterdays game
without being officially credited
with time at bat. He was up
four times, walked three times and
on his other trip to the plate poled
sacrifice fly. Saturday he was
charged with only one time at bat.
and on that occasion he cracked
out a two-bagger, therefore his
batting average was 1000 for the
two days.
Lerch, who pitched both Satur-
days and Sundays game for the
Manus, was the most consistent
and brilliant pitcher of the tourna-
ment. On Saturday he hurled a
four-hit game againsts the Dri-
mems and followed this perform
ance by chucking six-hit contest
yesterday against the Boosters. He
has a fast ball and nice fast
breaking curve. With little more
seasoning he should be ready fol-
a chance in faster company.
Red" Johnson of the Boosters
who was recently given tryout
with the local Mississippi Valley
league club-and created such e
favorable mpression-was the big
! noise for his team yesterday. HI
