to see what he had on the
ball. He has an outcurve
which sometimes breaks
sharply. He has enough
speed to make bis slow ball
effective and he has very
good control. He walked
only one man while the
Rambler was in attendance.
He was not pitching to
middle-aged players. Some
of them were in their 20s
and they swung their bats
viciously before stepping up
to the plate. Then they
would ny out or hit easy-to-
handle grounders or strike
out.
The games are very in
formal. Anyone who comes
out has a chance TO play.
some have played at COL

in the next inning, the

went way back for a long

catch. No one knew his
name. He was Gil Roys of

but the Bear Cats never
