perfect.
Jones is of the opinion that
50 Nibs' Price, the rival mentor
from Berkeley, will place most Of
! his offensive efforts in the hands
Of the California =" Pony Express .
and Southern California respects
! the accuracy of the hurling arms
OF LON and Eisan as we'll as the

s5dered the weakest i'll years, dcs-
! ignating the extent Southern Cali
