 Many Eastern League fans are pulling hard for the old warrior to cop the flag, and he has Waterbury fandom strong behind him. He was not long in showing his master hand when he weeded out the ''soreheads'' i7 tho Evansville camp.

 CTS Ed Stauffer and ",Slim'' Born
 hoeft and Second Baseman Jimmy

 Bornheft is regarded as one Of the king pin twirlers around the circuit. He suffers defeat occasionally, but his pitching has been pretty effective against opposing teams.
 Stauffer, while not credited with so many wins as Bornhoeft. Is re- garded as one of Gene McCann's s .'relta bles'' for mound duty.
