Both Judge and Morgan are working

both will succeed without much trouble.
Morgan has reached the stage now
where he is losing flesh without doing
such strenuous work, as was first pre-
scribed by Trainer Martin.
Judge needs only few hot days to put

upon putting the skids under the Regu-
lars in the intertesm struggles down here

the men who are assigned to work for
Altrock's bunch. This is why the first
string men are not uncorking loud walls.

first-class pitching. Consequently, he
