sit back quietly in camp, and let
things sort of run themselves. His
regulars know what he requires
and they do it without protest.

ers has been high. He has a way
about him of winning the conf
dence and respect of his men, and

the Robins. The others are Young

the semi-pro fields of Buffalo, and
