day. Barney Joy was standing in
front of the Advertiser office when he
was asked what the dope was The
dope, said he. is that the Diamond

They need all the limberness they can
get in their limbs if they are TO do
something with the Santa Claras on

work if YOU go out 70 the park this
afternoon.
Eddie Fernandez passed the word
round for some lively hustiing and the
free paper boys turned out in great
force. OF course, it is hard for all of
them to leave their work, but there
was not far short of a full nine On the
diamond. and they put in some good
work with the Keios, who were also out
there for practise.
Kanki ard Sasaki. the third baseman
and Shortstop of the Keios, made room
for some genuine applause from the
fans who had gone out to see the prac-

some grounders that would have fried
