In this respect. In runs scored they
are second, with 81, which is some

; Manager Mac Is also getting
good results from his pitchers. The
whole star hasn't rounded to form,
but he has Juggied them wisely and
well. His relief men have usually
aelivered when called upon, which
has not been infrequent.
In addition TO these features, the
Grins have more fight than they
have ever shown. They are our
there to win every day. Though nor
talking for publication. they harbor
a definite idea that they are as good
as~any rival. II you could get an
