JESSUP'S 15TH WIN "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR "Jeep" Jessup, who as we have stated before, is in our opinion the top hurler in the Inter-County League, chalked up his 15th vic- tory last night when he pitched a 4-hitter against Oshawa Merchants up in Galt. Incidentally, the win, No. 15, plus every inning and every strikeout that Jessup attained was setting a new Inter-County pitch- ing record. With another game at least to go, Jessup may set a few marks that will stand for years-- which will be all the more out- standing since he is not pitching for one e the Dest leaine 18 the 1 either -- although in the, pas pe fbone vf Galt Terriers' record has been as good as any team's in, the league.
