and good management. II means IN"
welding Of group Of skilled ipdivldu-

Of skilled players associated together
for several years and always undcr
great management
The White Sox have like advantage
over the Cincinnati Reds. The Ch'caEo
players have been together long enough
so that each player knows every trick
