| While Thomas and BRAZIL are ap-
| parently the only candidates nomi-
mated for the third-base office. a new
note may be injected even before the
opening Of the season. Should it
happen that neither Thomas nor Bra

Mack would not hesitate to expert

These reserves, of course. are Jimmy

Mack limited today that he believed
either youth might make good at

able to develop a player who can keep
