SON
The Browns need pitching
strength said O'Connor. "As long
as | have played ball never saw n
good team that didn't have good
pitchers.
I'm relying heavily on Bill Bailey
next summer. He's grand pitcher
and for young fellow with none too
much strength he's as game a boy as
ever stood in the box. I am hoping
every day he will come here to spend
the winter, for he knows that the
climate of Texas in winter does not
agree with him. For two seasons now
he has reported In poor condition and
IL took half the summer TO get him In
shape.
Word has just come from Harry
Howell. who is camping In the woods
OF southern Missouri that his arm has
apparently healed completely. and 3,
far as he can tell. IL Is as strong as
ever. When heard that. could have
hugged him. for II Harry Howell and
Bill Bailey can both report in cond.
tion next spring, IL will take a load o.
care of my mind.
II have hopes that two or three OF
the young pitchers coming in will
make good. They tell me Gilligan ami
Kinsella are much beyond the aver
age. Then we will have Bill Graham.
and he should be better than ever
next year Powell and Waddell. OF
course. may be bit slow in getting
into shape. Petty, too, may not be
ready for the early games. But on tho
whole, the pitching STAFF is an un.
known quantity on the Browns team
for next year and | am thinking more
about II than anything else.
