moment. Before leaving Washing

deal was pretty far advanced, else
he and his secretary would not go
to the scene to possibly make the
closing arrangements.

washington as farm to develop
young players for delivery to the
local major league team when they
have approached big-time proper

Nearly two years ago, the Wash

being unable to reach q purchase

the deal was originally discussed,
because he is not a practical base

flourishing under his ownership.

he has passed the age where he

Rather stress the fact that the

the child feel glad he HAS told
