Gretton Stymies Larks
Elzie Gretton had the Tacoma Larks dancing to his tune during a sparkling 5-0 shutout performance for the Spokane Suns. He gave up 6 hits, issued 2 walks and had 5 strikeouts.

Tacoma hitters were bewildered throughout the game by his delivery.

"When you face a guy who hides the ball like he does, it takes a couple of at-bats to try to find his release point," opposing manager Earl Brown said. "We just never figured him out."

Currently Gretton has a 4-3 won-lost record in 8 starts with a 2.78 ERA. He also has 40 strikeouts in 64.2 innings.
