owe TINS much to the fans who supporting my club

There is, of course good deal to this arpument
1t has reasonable sound. But, after ALL isn't one of
the main tests of baseball machine the utility talent

The club owner and the manager have all the fall

Through April May and June the latter can test this
machine and plug up weak gaps if some one else is will
