our club does not appear as strong

I believe, will make a good man, and
he may be second Raleigh Aitchl-

games for us, and AL Schscht is
going to have good year. No need

most promising pitching recruit, in
training at Columbus, Ga, is one of
the many players Scout Larry sutton
has picked from the bushes. Sutton
had been watching Smith for the past

You don't state what kind OF pictures
