bugs about placing your outfIelders
in fields they have played. The
rules Of the contest declare that
no player can be placed in a po-
sition in which he has not played
at least one game during the
current season.
There is such an abundance Of
outfield material eligible for this
years selection, that many Of the
fans, in an effort to pick the
three most efficient ones, have
forgotten that each must have
played in right, center, or left, as
the case may be-not merely play
ing in the "outfield."
Don't forget this point, for it
may cost you this highly desir-
able world series entertainment
which "SkiIlet" is offering. Babe
Ruth will be guided by that rule,
and the contestants, if they hope
to get anywhere, must also be
guided by it.
Also, don't forget to include a
fifty or a hundred word explana-
ton for your team, for. in case Of

the explanations have been thor

Here is the Importance of writing
an explanation-suppo that you
have picked Babe Ruths team

dozen others also pick it-then the
