Otis Crandall Pitching Great Ball On Pacific Coast,

Otis Crandall, the Newton county boy, formerly with the New York Giants, is reported to be pitching great ball on the coast. Recently Ote went fourteen frames against Portland, winning his game 2to 1. Ote is with Los Angeles and his brother, Carl, is in the same league, playing with Salt bake City. Through the fourteen frames the veteran labored and never once did he falter. iSuch pitching as this by Otis makes one turn back the pages of time when the Crandall of Old was pitching with Mike Donlin in right, Cy Semour in center and Barry in loft. One can almost hear the noisy chatter of the Giant infield, in reading of Ote’e performance with Devlin on third, BriOwell at short, Doyle and Tenney at first, with Matty barking from the pi t through cupped hands. Those days are gone and the old Giants are but Otis is still here... '. ,*■ . . . = .
