own way--and Clark and the Birming

What's the matter with getting some
coachers on the lines today, somewhat
on the Meeks-CaStro order. just 20
show that all life has not been taken
from the local ball team as per yes
terday's sad example.
That was a winning combination with
Nye on second, Ratchford on first,
Perry ON third and the fastest outf1eld
in the business. Looks kinder like bad
judgment to break up the combination
just when Ratchford was beginning to
hit the ball.
