This was as much due to his cool head as to the hooks which he shot past the Burritt batters, for he inspired new confidence into. his mates. His manager tried to pro- test the game when Umpire Hogan woenld not call balls and strikes from behind the plate, but Argosy serted notice that if that were done he was quitting right away and his wise counsel prevailed.
