That's how Ipe Talboom of the Asheville Highlanders blanked the Chesapeake Continentals 5-0. After tossing a complete-game 5-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance." His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Talboom walked 1 and struck out 10 in the victory. The Continentals manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes."
