Raymond In Great Shape.
Bugs Raymond was brought along to
Waco so that McGraw could keep an
oye on him and he will pitch part OF
the game this afternoon. Raymond has
been taking excellent care OF himself
and 1t begins to look as IL his cure
would be permanent. He seems to be
proud OF the fact that he is behaving
himself and the players who formerly
summed him are doing their best to
help MIN along. His spitball Is working
just az effectively as ever and neither
the Colts nor the Regulars are able 10
hit him In the practice games.
Crandall and Wiltse appeared In a
game for the first time yesterday and
they We're both hit hard. They were IN
structed to merely lob the ball over
the plate and the youngsters went after
