who, upset by a flying trip from
Chicago last week. went down to de-

That Newkirk is capable Of pitch

The speed merchant himself is anx-

he has a better assortment OF speed

Every effort is being made to
strengthen the Singer defense and
it is probable that few new faces

Old time baseball fans will doubt

which have graced the big leagues
in the last five years.
