manager IN his efforts to bring about reform:
icQuery Is slow and dull-witted in his work;
Dowd is enlarged on top and too fond Of
Hatfield IL stupid and uncertain; Smith 10 stiff
and not at all sure Of himself; Beecher is as
near what he should be as any man on the
team; Burns has caught the fumbling spirit
left in center by Paul Hines; visner has gone
to sleep; Bakely il weak and vulnerable; Car
sey is timid and nervous; Mace is what he was
said to be in yesterdays STAR-no good; Miller
is lame; Hart is second rate; Mcclure il all
right. he played the only ball on the
team yesterday. He Is the mainstay Of the
club and it would not be a bad idea to make
him captain. He works for victory.
