strong teams and no one club will hays
as easy picking as it had last year. All

The new team is made possible by
he withdrawal of the Y. NJ. c. A. team

George Brandt Field. and Lansdale
rom which TO make up q strong team OF
Toung players.

port. If this sort can be kept up the
cam will be a decided factor in the
eague race. Lansda1e ran up a total Of
07; Krauss. 557: Brandt, 532; Pear
