Petty, OF the Browns. is one OF the
pitchers who doesn't seem TO have
anything" and being with club that
tags along at the tail OF the second
division, he doesn't have much chance
to shine. His object in life for years
seemed to be to beat the Cleveland
team, task he generally succeeded
at. With Long Tom Hughes he was
the Nap hoodoo and the pair kept
Cleveland from winning the flag from
Detroit a couple OF years ago.

Rucker is Brooklyn's best left

club he would shine brightly. but
with a club that finished sixth he

been the hero of some wonderful
games, and IL Brooklyn manages TO
finish up among the leaders he will
doubtless shine brilliantly.
