from Brewer developing d touch Of
tonsilitis, which will not bother him
except in the dining room. there
wasn't much news popping around
Tampa Bay lobbys today. and on
Plant Field IT was too much work
for anything newsy.s
Bobby Lamotte did show up. and
the youngster has been singing
wicked line of hash. Griff told him

Bobby tried to put on a ton He
was running over his uniform and
had to borrow an extra that NICK
Altrock had to keep from spilling
himself Mcbride learned he had
been eating oysters and has ordered
him to lay of the bivalves and take
an extra turn around the track a

was out todav as usual, as was
Eschmann, who was going easy with
his finger taped.
The pitchers are still lobbing them

short, and Mac had to admit that
the weight may have been a good
thing for Bobby. 1t certainly hasn't
cut in on his speed any, for the kid
was racing after them all the way
around And he's still got that
snap from the breast heave that
first brought Griffs eyes to rest

Martin promises to let the Inter
national League star stick in the
work while he works on them.
Meanwhile. Grir abandoned his

claims he is heeled for most any
thing that happens to any of his
