That is something to figure out. Tor
Cicotte can throw any one OF these
balls as effectively as the other Dan
Murphy. former captain of our club,
once told me that he considered CT

of Murphy's long experience ought to

slow ball he throws is patterned after
the one Summers made famous. His

cornered him, and he was up against

it would be. good to josh about that.
"All right" accordingly, was his re-

Inside of couple of seconds there
was a near riot. Mails didn't know

was the British flag. Why should an
