Few wives accompany big
Ieaguers on road trips, except
ing the short hops, like, for in

bali clubs frown on the business
of wives travelling with the

frown on it and also some OF the

Hence. many ball players
wives remain at home virtually
all season and home in this in

There are several cases in

wives interested in Clark Crit

summers in the old home towns.
But they're all getting things
in shape to beat it for Washing
