Betting Is Light.
While no official announcement
has been made relative to ground
rules it is believed the National

entirely free from obstruction in
right field, while more than three
quarters of center field is free AMI
a long hit to certain parts of either
of these can possibly result in al
home run.

ID in the morning and then allow
the Sox to figure on the angles

E times during the afternoon.
EJohn Collins, the Chicago optfield-

I'll am going over right now and
Nake one purchase. That's pair of
sun glasses. They tell me your sun
field is the fiercest ever and | believe
them"
Cheers for White Sox.
