with 800 hitters, and starting out right

man does not say where all these new
ball players are coming from-a mere
oversight. Of course.
Cantilon denies emphatlcally that there
will be a wholesale sha1e-up in his club,

Cantillon swears the aiiment was causued
by Jacks trying to hit curved balls from
left-hand pitchers.
