Friday and Schneider will report to

pitcher in the league, with the possible
exception of French Of Frankfort and
Hauser of Paris.

ball and football This season he has
hit well over the 300 mark, playing in
the outfeld while not in the box. All

company and are pretty sure to make
good. They will report at the end Of
the present senason.
