At the Central City fair on that day he worked a full nine inning game for Manchester against Central City and did not allow his opponents a single hit or run. But four of his opponents readied first base, two surviving to visit second, and not one being able to-rest' his foot upon third. Nine of them took three healthy swings and returned to he bench- Dunning is a youngster, being on ly 20 years of age, and has never had any extensive experience ais a pftcher He is cool under fire, has sweeping curves and burning speed, and best of all, perfect control of the ball, a rarity among left-handed' slab-men He enters Cornell' college at Mt Vern on this fall and his many, friends* here are certain he will make a name for himself as a leading pitcher for the Purple team of 1913. Manchester won the game Wednes day by the one-sided score of 8 to 0. Hard hitting by the entire club roll e** up the big count, while almost perfect defensive work aided Dun ning in his. record stunt. CENTRAL PUTS ON COACHES. W.
