bought by the Boston Americans from
the Oakland team OF the Pacific
Coast league, will make his mark in
the big brush II he performs back

Wells lacks experience. In beating
Sunshine he defeated the most for

against him, for Sunshine but recent

Wells played with Sunshine for
two rounds, but In the third Sunshine
