land a regular position IN the outfield
with Bridgeport, and by his hitting help
his new team mates to land many VIC
tories.
Chick Davis has returned from
Roanoke. where he has been trying out
with the team Of that place. Davis, while

a dependable hitter. but was struck in
the head by a pitched ball, which caused
him to fall away as swat artist 1t is
to be hoped that another year in the
amateur leagues will witness a return to
the youngsters clouting ability when he
will be able to hold his own in faster
company than the Virginia League.
