GANZEL PULLS A NEW STUNT

Manager of Kansas City Blues Used Two Pitchers Interchangeably and Won Contest. John Ganzel, manager of the Kansas City Blues, recently pulled a new stunt in the art of handling pitchers that knocked a rival American association club off its feet. Ganzel used two pitchers, interchangeably, between right field and the hurling hllL With two out and none on base Pierce, a southpaw, replaced Sanders against Indianapolis. He retired Wlckland, a left-handed batter, and then went to right field to permit McQuillan, a right hander who had been playing the old soldiers’ garden, to pitch to Bronkle, who hits right-handed. Brookie grounded out and then Pierce came in from the field to pitch to Zwilling, another left-handed batsman, retiring him for the third out and giving Kansas City a 6-4 victory. When it comes to manipulating pitchers John Ganzel takes the laurel.
