him to Philadelphia Shaughnessy yesser-

Then take Ray Topham. who heaved
them over for the Wilmington "Onion,

innings for Wilmington against Johnstown
Yesterday and he let the "Johnnies" down
with one punky little scratch hit in that
five innings
Look at the hitting and fielding OF zol-
hrs at South Side, and look at the work
