Like four of our CA counterparts, we picked up four wins in six tries, leading the early spring tables with Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Toronto. Both losses came at the hand of Grover Donahue, who is not quite making a case for the big league roster. The 28-year-old righty allowed 2 hits, 3 runs, and 2 walks in an inning against the Cannons, and then 2 hits, 2 runs (1 earned), and a walk in an inning against the Kings. Otherwise, we did pretty well as we look to get back into playing shape.

On the mound, two of our starters pitched four inning shutouts. Joe Brown went 4 with 3 hits, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Jim Lonardo allowed just 2 hits and a walk. Ken Matson would have joined if it wasn't for a Freddie Jones error, as he allowed 4 hits, a walk, and unearned run with 3 strikeouts against the Stars. Harry Parker went 5 innings in his start, charged with 5 hits, a run, and a strikeout. Hooks Camp did well out of the pen, 4 scoreless with 4 hits, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Allen Purvis struck out 1 in 3 perfect innings. Bill Anderson and Augie Bertrand both threw two scoreless. Manny Franco had some troubles, 5 innings with 4 hits, 3 runs, 6 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Johnnie Jones also had issues with his walks, 5 in 4 with 2 hits, 2 runs, and 2 strikeouts.

No errors for Billy Hunter, who already has a positional rating in center field. We don't keep track of fielding stats in Spring Training (not sure you can anyways), so no way to know how well he's done, but hitting .182/.167/.455 isn't doing him any favors either. Hank Barnett had a big first week as a Cougar, going 4-for-10 with a double, triple, run, 2 RBIs, and 3 walks. Cliff Moss was 4-for-9 with 2 walks, 3 runs, and a pair of solo homers. Dick Walker was 4-for-9 with a walk, RBI, and 2 runs scored. Freddie Jones is dealing with minor back spasms, but went 3-for-7 with a double and two walks. Not much else went well, with Skipper, Harry Mead, Orlin Yates, Rich Langton, and a bunch of bench bats all hitting .200 or lower, plus Moss was the only hitter to go deep. All that matters is we stayed more-or-less healthy, and won a few games.
