«• O
day. It s ems-that.th$>Juniors are
a more, careful club, and Mana-'
ger Bill Stokes hasn'J pulled anj'
sacrifice pitching stunts like the
Soph managerial department ex-
ecuted .ynhappily-yesterday. Then,
too, the Fish are not to be count-
d out. Pitching is their big handi-
cap, but they may spring a Gala-
hadion surprise against the Juniors
cr Sophs in the second half.
According to my tabulations,
the Sophs' little Indian short-stop,
Raul Manriquez, is the sensation
of th 3-softball season. He's pound-
ing the ball at a terrific clip,
having two homers and a triple
beside his .571 average. I haven't
se n a player yet who puts any-
more power in his swing than
Manriquez. Yesterday, the two
lusty blows he delivered over the
outfield's heads were long and
hard driven.
The customers would have them,
selves an extraordinary afternoon
if they'd come rut to the games.
The razzings that Red Brown has
be-n receiving as an umpire are
worth your admission. Red was
receipient of many protests by
the Sophs yesterday. He probably
mad-? a few errors, but. Barton's
pitches were hard to judge due to
their effective rising spin. Regard-
less of the protests, Red and Bil-
ly Greewaldt are doing a noble
job and it isn't easy.
