ball a little better than Pulsfer. Pull
sifsr has been doing some splendid work
in the field however, and whether the
change will he for the better will de-
pend upon Taylor's ability to cover the
ground in the outfeld as well as Pulsi-
fer did
Nourse. who has been batting see
ond on the list. has been shifted 70
near the bottom and Taylor Will hit
second. Wyman. who has been hit
ting extraordinarily we'll this year,
