not make up for Bresnahan, His
team will be stronger than ever in
pitching. better with the bat and
brighter both inside and outside the
diamond but the backbone Of the
whole works Is likely to give way at
any time. just because there Is no
catcher like Bresnahan TO steady up
the crowd. II II comes to close pinch
and a hard finish. New York Will prob
ably slip cog Just on this account.
