Howard has done that little thing,
showing once more that the boys
on the inside come pretty close to

mon knowledge in baseball circles
that the blond sidewheeler never
could get along with Hughey Jen-

ceeded him, at all. He was dissat-
tsfied. He knew it, and so did every
body else.
Result, he was just q good
pitcher. But all the experts we
have mentioned, and a flock Of
others, admitted that he had the
stuff and the heart to be q real
star. He's a regular chap, always
willing to give his best. He ex-
