There is nothing to indicate, how

To the contrary, an official of the

Barrow, when he was handling the
Red Sox, was known as an iron lead
err and discipinarian of the Me
Graw school, but he is not expect
ed to use any heavy hand with the
club. 1t is thought that the club
has some deal in the making in the
