The outfield can peg along and hit
well when the pitching is not of the
best. Mokan may be used more than
he was last season. He hits hard and
cleans up if - meets the ball.
On what might be called the newer
pitchers, there are two who may de-
velOp something. One is Carlson who
was once with Pitt;burg. He was sent
to Wichita Falls st season. Out in
the Texas League re played winning

League when he was winner. He may
develop into dependable man for the
Pills. Then there is Glazner. There
is a mystery about that kid. When
he was with Pittsburg some thought
he was the best pitcher in the league
or soon would be. Then came a season
in which he could no nothing for Pitts
burg except lose. Should he get a
second lease on life he is another
pitcher who will be asked to take his
regular turn.

The number and value of money
money orders issued by the San An
