Third From the Top


 Aside from leading his club in hitting, the impromptu outfielder was third from the top in league hitting among outfielders who had participated in 100 games or more. He appeared in III games for Coffeyville last year, came to bat S79 times. scored GA runs. banged out 125 hits, 15 of these being doubles and q like number of them going for triples, and bagged four home runs. He hit for an average of .330.
 As pitcher he worked in IT games, pitching f5 innings, and but one wild pitch is recorded against him.
 With combination man like Tice working for a job Moley is going to think long before dis posing of him, as he could be used for relief duty in the box when a pitcher is going bad. With an extra man added to the player limit this year Moley could carry just such a fellow for just such work as utility outfielder and utility pitcher and could still have another utility man on the payroll.
