The catching staff will be the same
as last year. with Glenn Wyatt. a
heavy hitter. doing the bulk of the
receiving. aided by Luke Newell and

Two men will try out for the first

KEode. recalled from Birmingham,
Ala.
Three second basemen will report.
Chick Fewster. who is likely to land
the regular job. and Riggs Stephen

First Tully got a jab in the eye from
the butt Of musket in a pirate raid.
Then he dropped four feet off ship
deck and twisted his arm. Immedi-
ately after he slipped on a beer keg
and was thrown to the floor.
He arose his features grim with re-
pressed fury. and stallled off the set.
