could arrange 1t, he is still On
the Seattle reserve list. For
Bill wasn't big enough for the
majors, and WIS dumped back
ON the Coast league.
Leard would rather he boss
of the Seattle team than an
infielder on the Oakland club,
and he figures on demanding
his place again.
Tacoma fans had hoped
they were thru with Ieard
and his rough stuff when
he left the Giants.
That's why we apologize
for this gloomy news on
Christmas eve.
