 Brown is CT of the gamest men that ever dCnned a uniform. He has demonstrated that he possesses more nerve in the pinChes than any pitcher that as ever faced a batter in more tight battles than can be enumerated
 Those who watched Brown work last year are satisfied that he has still year CT two of big league ball in his system. He may not have quite as much speed as he once had but he has the experience of many seasons and the experience of hundreds of games to help him fool the wise batters.
