...Marine Joe Phelan, who has done a large share of the pitching this year, will start on the mound for the Crimson. Although his won and lost total is an unimpressive 2-2, he has often been sabotaged by unearned runs, and his E.R.A. is only 2.97. Southpaw John Knowles will be ready for relief duty if necessary. The lefthauder has won two out of his last three games, the defeat coming at the hands of Dartmouth, when he lost 1 to 0 but allowed only five hits...
...strikeouts, three walks and 105 minutes later, Papa Head had pitched Brooklyn's first no-hit, no-run game in six years, the first in the National League in two years. It was even more phenomenal for a right-hander who was originally a southpaw until his left arm was crushed in an auto accident...
...mound corps, greatly weakened by the graduation last fall of Jack Wallace, is currently headed by Johnny Knowles. The lean southpaw will be starting his third campaign for the Crimson, having spent the past two years carrying the Jayvees and turning in valuable relief jobs for the varsity on occasion. Other prospects for the pitching staff include Norm Wholley and Dick Morris, with several other candidates also in the running...

The first one rocked his opponent; the second knocked him out. It was Sailor Bob's 76th consecutive...
Pitcher Joe Hatten, a 28-year-old southpaw, looks like the nearest thing to a freshman Dizzy Dean. He has a deadly sidearm motion that should baffle right-handed hitters, has a curve ball that can turn a corner. The Dodgers thought enough of him before he entered the Navy to give up a seasoned pitcher, Van Lingle Mungo, in a straight trade. Like most southpaws, Hatten is regarded with some suspicion as a wild man. Already some tall stories are being told about him. Sample: once when his team was just one run ahead at Minneapolis, he deliberately walked...
