hi games across ON Allentown here yes
4erday afternoon. Equally interesting

notice Yesterday he made EN- take an
extra look Getting out OF the first pic
mic with only two hits against him he
went back into the second frolic as fit

games is about as good pitching as any
stwirlcr anywhere has shown lately. Tom
