about not having enough lads to choose
a good infield from. but is very DESTROYS
Of having few more to choose try-outs
for the outiield. 1t is thought the right

da,. 1t is an uncertainty whether Lee
Gore can be secured. but the pilot"
says the chances are exceedingly bright.

sessing curves that are swift and exact.
