 Lil Stoner, crack hurler sent down 10 the Barons by Joe Dunn. started pitching in the first affa.r anu hook ed with Dutch Henry in what gave every promise of developing into battle of pitching. however, Stoner peeved because of decision on pitched ball that he thought was strike. kicked himself out of the picture when he threw his glove to the ground in disgust. Umpire Campbell waved him from the mat lnee.

 Acosta Won First
