Young dreamed of improving the i'm

offensive work was done while Young
occupied the center of the diamond,

Rchmond's play throughout the bat
tie was decidedly off color. the man

their games since Knabe took charge

affected the other men. his crisp bark

Germany Schafer was the star OF
the contest. Not only was his hitting
