the coachers. In fact. lively coaching

Manager Dcnnellv made a good

1t seems that the strain of heavy
hitters runs through the entire Dele

late Ed Delehanty is still fresh in the
memory of all fandom. and here his
younger brother comes along with
two home runs in succession during
two days of battle. In addition. Jim
