of lefthander Benny Little, the
southpaw ace of the Giants'
mound staff.
Berry's appraisal may have

the year. Little, a veteran of
many campaigns in the Meck

year in the Triple County Loop
allowed the Charlotte Tigers
only one hit in pitching the
Giants to a run-away 22-1

It was his third straight win
of the year. It was also one In

Berry. The Hoskins skipper
