Best Pitcher In Mr A A Kalamazoo Basket?
The Kalamazoo league baseball team of the Southern Michigan league aims to sign Sandy Gitscannen, regarded as the state’s top college pitcher, for the coming season. Manager Charlie Wagner has long had his eye on Sandy, who began by helping Alma College defeat Michigan and win the state intercollegiate title. If he signs with Kazoo, he will reunite with old schoolmate Pat Graham of Cass City, Sandy’s hometown. Graham played well for Kazoo last year and is unrelated to Octy Graham. Sandy is a lefty, bolstering a staff largely composed of right-handers, and Duncanson’s friends statewide welcome his bright professional prospects.
