more, is only April. Sensational
pitching performances by Ed Brandt,

five wins in six contest. Another old

mits thirty eight summers, is doing
quite well at the shortstopping bust

the two runs which gave the Braves
their 2-to-0 win over the Phillies

first place. Walter Berger, the clout-

Derby lesser lights.
Insco showed the best move Mon

the slow track in 1925 easily.
Pittsburgher looked good in long
gallop.
