Now with the playing of our national anthem, it's play ball here in the polo grounds.

New York Metson the opener of this double header with Jay Hook on the mound.

We'll be trying for their third straight win.

They won the opening game of this four-game weekend series

with a come-from-behind effort,

scoring twice in the last of the ninth inning for a five-to-four thriller,

and won yesterday afternoon on the brilliant pitching of lefty Al Jackson,

who went the route for the first complete game

victory turned in by a member of the Metz Hurling staff this year.

Jay Hook this year has made a start against Milwaukee. He lost to Warren Spahn,

switched to one, and made a start against Cincinnati and was beaten. Though Jay has won none and lost two,

and Milwaukee has been a tough club for Jay left during his career.

His lifetime record against the Braves, he has won three, but lost 11.

Fitching for Milwaukee will be Tony Cloninger,

a 23-year-old fireballing right-hander from Iron Station, North Carolina.

And when you watch him pitch the way he throws, you think of iron because he has the strength.

And throws apart probably as any right-hander in the knife to learn.

Klangir has made only one appearance this year that was in release.

Last year, he won8 and lost 3.

And against the match last year, Cloninger, 1-2 while losing 1.

Now the lead off hitter in the game, Ty Klein, left-handed batting center fielder, is in against

right-hander Jay Hook.
