liveries across the rubber with clouds
of smoke around them. The boy has
some wicked kinks in his offerings
and coupled with ample velocity, made
him very effective against the alert
Willmar sluggers. His support on the
sacks was not of a stellar class and
he appeared to incline on shouldering
the entire burden OF the game alone
Yet his success was plain and des-
pite his terrific pace seemed to en-
counter no difficulty in staying un-
crippled turnout the game.
