These two players are considered finds for Jennings. Pitcher Cole, of Columbus, goes to the Yankees while Catcher Mike Gid-do has been drafted from Chattanooga by GIddo is the catcher who started the season with the Troy team.

Each year they have been winners. The first year out they won 26 out of 29, and last year in the Luzerne County league they won 28 out of 30, also taking four exhibition games. This year they had practically the same line-up as when they started the 1911 season, and this la considered one of the chief reasons for the team's success. Two of the team's stars are Meehan and O'Brien. They are real pitching finds.

Throughout the season these trie Barons captured nineteen and lost "eight games. One of the records sought by all pitchers in professional baseball is to retire the opposing team without a hit in the course of la game.

Kaufman of Elmira was second with ten, while Cranston of Troy and Johnson of were ed for third place with eight each. Hartley, McCarthy and Giddo, of the Troy team, each treat pitchers' battle here today, the former coming out the victor after an uphill fight. Benz pitched sterling ball throughout.
