Locked up" among the other schools,
judging from the comment, but he fig
ures Mckinley will have team capable
OF giving all OF 'em at least good
practice
Foxley has cut his squad from more

q large group of younger students work
Ing on a nearby field, and believes that

to have ball team, is by no means
without players of proved worth. In
Lee Raiford, a newcomer, Coach Lynn

outfleld; regards the catching post,

care OF by Frank Carrado, a product of
the sandlots here, and feels that in
other departments also the team will be
formidable.
Mac Mcdonald, Tom Hardy. Chuck
Horner make UP the Emerson mound

the outfleld when not hurting. Russell
