Leonard tried hard to find himself,
but impossible. Everything seemed
to go against him. The team did not
play as well behind him as it has
against other hurlers. It was a day
of miscues, but most of them can be
pardoned. Jack perhaps will recall
giving three passes and those three
passes, be it understood, cost the
Americans the game for it gave the
Brass City delegation the three runs
necessary to effect a victory.
What Leonarad lacked and what
a lot of pitchers who find themselves
in the minors lack was control. He
had speed, but ball travelled along
the wrong paths. Pitches intended to
be strikes went out of the course
when they left Leonard's mitt and by
the time they whizzed by the batter
they could be called nothing but balls.
But it can't be said that Jack didn't
try, for he did. He put everything
he had back of his benders, but they
refused to break right.
For two innings this hurler looked
like a world beater, but then he fell
back with the result that matters be
came worse and worse until victory
for the locals was admittedly impos
sible. But there were times when the lo
cals themselves threw a scare into
Jack Flynns camp. In the first Inn
ing Braun slammed a two-bagger
that almost literally knocked Pitcher
Craig for Waterbury off his feet Bill
Lai bunted a neat one along first and
