the merriest three day battles in late
history.
The Kaws are in pretty good condi-
ton now with their four catcherS and
two more pitchers and the Soos will
find some mighty batteries on the field.
Hawkins, Crisp, Kerns and Frambes
are a Quartette of backstopS which
ought to furnish two Of the best. And
the new pitchers are not so slow. l.
Cook won 1s and lost 9 with Peoria
in the Three-I last year and Clark won

league. Both of them worked away
above the average winning OF their
clubs and were secured by the Chicago
Cubs. But they were let back to st.
Paul and now Moore has them. They're
a promising pair for the Western.

artists, has turned to newer fields and

an unattached team Of Colorado, who
was recommended by Buck Weaver as
a wonder,

games. In all probability they have

but not one that can be considered as
