CLOSE study of the relative ability
OF the men on our roster has con-
Ninced me that a maximum of effi-
Clency. considering attack as well as
defense, is obtained with the lineup
as now constituted. I believe we can
WIN more with it, and that's what
were trying to do-get somewhere.
Shank9 does not cover the territory
thaJ Bluege can. for instance, but he's
steady and heady. and has faculty
for making hits when they are
needed.
Brewer has improved greatly as
z fielder and can HIT ieft-hand pitch
ers quite as well as the right handlers.
while Goslin packs punch that war
rants his daily use, even If he has
rough edges to be smoothed off. Well
stand CT fall with this outfit this sea-
son, and l don't mind telling you that
! expect the team TO climb with no
delay. You can chalk up a victory
today for US right now. We're going
10 win sure

Milan does not overlook the fact
that accidents may upset his plans
and has good reason to qualify his
decision to that extent. for Brewer.

Varying periods a different times this
