FROM TWILIGHT LEAGUE

“Uncle Joe” Cantillon, manager of the Minneapolis club, pu)led a prize alibi for a kid pitcher some years ago that still stands without a rival. The Millers were playing on the home lot and the visiting club was knocking the cover off the ball when Mike Cantillon, brother of Joe, came rushing out to the bench in a rage. “They’ve knocked every pitcher you’ve got off the mound but the new kidl” yelled Mike. “Why don’t ydu stick him in there?” “Uncle Joe” had drafted the kid pitcher from the Canadian league, where ball games start after dinner, and he replied: “I got this kid from the Twilight league. He can’t pitch till after six o’clock.”
