Gaining his status as one Of Washing

A change back to his original side
arm delivery seems to be the reason.
ingram. possessor of just about the
hest drop in sandlot ranks, spent
couple of years in the minors: Just
before coming to the District and Naval
Hosnital he was advised to abandon his
eiGe-arm delivery. He did and man.
aged to pitch the Sailors to the title.
Then last year as member OF G. P. o.
he lost much of his effectiveness.
Back he went to the slde-arm ball
and his record with G. P. o. this sea-
son tells the story of his success. Large
" through his efforts the Printers have
swept all opposition aside SO far and
have gained a virtual lock on the first
half series in the Departmental League.
Yesterday he entered the box against
his old teammates, Naval Hospitals
gobs. in the second inning and held
them hitless and runless for the last
seven innings. Only two Sailors
reached first. one by an error and the
other after being hit by Ingram. The
score was IL to O.
MIGRANTS performance was not the
/ only feature Typo fans saw to get
het up about yesterday. Al Schnei-
der provided the other.
Schneider. formerly one Of the best
sandlot catchers hereabout. was forced
out of the game almost entirely last
wear and the season before by lame
arm. Yesterday he went behind the
bat and displayed the old whip in his
arm.
G. P. o. followers now are not only
claiming the best hurting staff in In
gram. Bob Lyon and Frank Corkins,
but also the Departmental Leagues
premier receivers in Schneider and
Jules SorIell.
