tional League next season, something
unprecedented in the history Of tina:

This is indeed tough on Roger Bres-
nahan, Fielder Jones and the other
property possibilities Of the day -
but it is true, nevertheless. A few
weeks ago rumors began popping all

graph fzaling out in some column
way, way down in the sticks.

can secure more ground elsewhere 9s
