running qualities: drilled and looked after by John
Ward, snd-best of al-paid salaries commensurate
with their abilities 1t is certainly not astonis hing
that they should play great ball. They can run
like scared rabbits on plank road: can field like
demons on the wing, and they can bat as If the
squarely by a bed slat. -
