boys are glad that they didn't get a
chance to cross bats with the Slug

The only thing that is worrying
Manager Segelken this year is the fact
that Hugh Fullerton hasn't picked the
locals to finish last. If Hugh would
only pick the Middletown Wrecking
Crew as a bunch of misiits. the boys
might have chance to win the cham
pionship.

Rival ball players who batted
