been so ambitious to make a good
showing. On paper there is not
weak team in the league. This spring
witnessed considerable change In the
personncl of the clubs. Advantageous
trades have been made and the in
terchange OF players have added
strength where ID was needed and
built up soft spots in otherwise good
ORGANIZATIONS. In addition 10 this
some players that have tired OF their
lberths. have found new places to GIN
ger them up. With the addition OF
number of youngsters who are full
of a desire to win permanent places
on the regular teams we have.a very
promising outlook for the summer.
And ! notice. too, that managers are
not bent so much on winning the pen
nant as they are in furnishing nrst

good indication. All we nede now is
good attendance and classy games VIII
