Graw slipped away to perform with

Cooper has developed into a fast

would. He is a young player and still
has several years of major league

has been expressed as to the ability
of Seaton to come back. He did not

Dick" Carroll onetime Yankee
pitcher, later of the International

That the quality of baseball that
will be played in the National and
American leagues next season will be
much better than that Of last is as
sured. The return to the fold of the
stars who jumped from organized
baseball to play with the Feds and the
advent of the many young players de-
yeloped to major league ability by the
Feds will make the game better.
In the layout there are four who are
worthy of prominent mantion. They
are Benny Kauff, the hard-hitting
outtielder who led the independent
organization for two years; Lee Ma
