now holding down left garden instead
of the initial station, and seems to be
at home in his new berth. Kelley,
catcher of the team, although wild at
times, is showing up in good style be-

est baseball player in the south, is maxi
ing good in the inf1eld and has i'm
proved considerably in his playing
ability Herman Whitrow, holding
down the second station, is also i'm
proving in his playing and should later

the san Francisco club of the Pacific

earding games for the early part Of
