Despite the loss of two fingers

tors in keeping the Pale Hose up in
the race, the South Side management
is not the least perturbed over the
pitching situation. Gleason. one OF
the smartest boxmen of all time and
a keen judge of pitching talent. is
greatly impressed with the material
placed at his disposal and believes

three promising candidates from the
flock of young bloods to be taken on
the conditioning junket.

work the very, first day in camp and
work them in relays, pegging TO
