There Is another man on the Agricui-

for the uprising of the team and that is
Weber. Formerly he has attended to
the receiving end but now he is covering

ed him greatly as his batting is much
improved and IL is claimed that he is o.
better first sacker than a catcher.
Rea OF War is one of the consistent
stickers of the league but he has his
little troubles in fielding. Not that he
isn't a good fielder, but he is just out OF
place. Given place in the outheld he
would be one of the most valuable men
on the team.

will be arranged for these days. There
might be some hitch here because of the
fact that Saturday is a half holiday In
the departments and the players may
want to take advantage of 1t in some
other amusement. At that you can't
blame the players. although there are a
lot of them who would rather play the
game than take trip down TO some cool
