It strikes them on the funny bone to hear of a twirler occupying the infield during important championship games. MitS chen says he is very much in earnest He has seen Tyler practice in said position and knows he fields the place with speed and accuracy. He also knows that Tyler is far from being weak hitter.

out penalty. Unless they have returned
voluntarily by April l, the government
will then go out and hunt them up,
