In addition TO these pitchers, StOvau
has Dan Adams, Pete Heuning and
Ben Harris. with the Kansas CITY Feds
from the Buffalo InternatiCnals and
Foster Blackburn. a Chicago semi-pro.
Harris is a husky youngster with
world of speed but he hasn't a super

a good pitcher, but Henning seems 10
be a bit better Brandon has been
