on the young arm of Clem Kimerer (2-1, 2.42) and was named POY last season. Charlie Geggus is 37 years old and hoping he will continue his pursuit of more wins, he is currently
at 306. Over in the American League, Louisville is on a roll, continuing from last year. The Colonels are at 6-2 and hold a slim lead over Cleveland. Columbus is off to a slow start at
4-3. The Solons are picking up the pieces from their 1898 WS defeat. Meanwhile Louisville pitcher Frank Meinke (3-0, 0.00) has yet to give up an earned run.
