along after the much coveted remnants, and
we can begin to talk about the work and
luck. Luck. you know, has tremendous
effect, and often downs the best players

team at the start of the season to win at
least two of the four straight games that
plunged all Boston into frenzy of delight.
And when they continued and took two
more from the Phillies all hands in Boston

on top, and most of them think so yet. But
they will not.
Take the Brooklyn team also. There Is
