his club is much stronger than it was last season.
The change of Dick Cooley to first base and
Roy Thomas 10 centre field has strengthened the
Philadelphia team. Thomas is said to be great
improvement over Cooley at centre field. while
Cooley is proving the better first baseman. Be
sides il affords him better opportunity, as cap
tain of the nine, to direct the play.

Roaring Bill Kennedy never pitched a better
game of ball than he did Wednesday

When Pat Tebeau and his Indians come to the
effete East they will find different sentiment
prevailing that heretofore with reference 10 yll.
