Fordham has moro than fair share
of brilliant pitchers, of whom Captain
Timmy Mcnamara is without doubt the
best. Mcnamara has established a fine
reputation for himself in collegiate
baseball circles, and in practice thus
far has proved mystery to his team
mates. The Maroon captain will be
aided by Fred Waters. Joe White and
Leo O'Bricn.
