Sisler Wps Great in College Before He Joined Majors - 1 — Had Grand Batting Average of M3 at Michigan University. It wit In tffe spring of 1915, at Ann Brbor, Mich., that two young southapw hurlers were eugageil in a pitchers battle. George Sigler of Michigan and Kruie Koob o fthe Kalamazoo Normal were the principals in a pitchers' duel that will be remembered by the students when they reach the grandfather period. The game lasted fifteen innings and no • were scored by either team. Knob the batsmen of Michigan to a pair _iugles and fanned thirteen batsmen. Sisler didn't pitch the entire, gatie. At the end of the fifth he was shifted to the ttutheld and made the oniy hits registered off the southpaw curves-of Ernie K?ob. In the five innings he pitched no hits were made and twelve batsmen struck out. The recount of the game tells that of the sixty-seven balls pitched by Sisiet fifty seven were strikes. Thts-was one of the early events in tofareer oft twocpilege iads who. in late years, were teammates on the St. LouiBrowns. Koob stuck to the pitching game and Sisler, who possessed itin n!tei\ more' skiir than Koob when it came to pitching a baseball, cut the pltching jame to bat his nay to fame adu iortuue, which he is doing today with phenomenal lucre ss.

Sisler made many wonderful records while pitching to college batsmen. Sisler didn't pitch more than twenty games while with the Michigan team and many of these were only part games As far as can be ascertained, only thirty nits were made off his delivery Sisler a record of striking out fifteen batsmen in succession. It happened this way: WONDEKFUL RECORD \S STRIKE-OUT KING. - I In a game he was called to finish lie last two innings, six ruen fanned ' a a row. In the next game Sisler be_au with the first inning and until the •nd of the third round not a man touched the ball, nine striking out This brand of pitching was too good and he >vas sent to the outfield, and this ineilent explains why George Sisler wasn't rted more in the role of hurler while a: Michigan.
