Tom Degnan told them something
about the rules when a batter was
substituted unannounced. which set
them to thinking. and caused the
manager to remark, Il told you they
are old ball players" Yeah, bo, we
are old ball players and are learning
every day. The rest of the team
looks good. and Manager Brownie
Limeric shows he has something on
his shoulders besides foundation for

Now for the lucky strike. Vice
President Colley. at the eleventh
