In years. Walter Stewart, south
paving slabman, and Monte
Weaver, rangy right-hander, re-
gard themselves fit for their
finest efforts on the hill.
Stewart came here to put on a bit
of weight instead of shedding pound
age as most of the profession strive to
do after Winters idleness. He has
succeeded in picking up enough to tip
the scales at ITO, which he says is the
most he ever carried out of a camp.
The left-hander feels stronger than
ever and is confident he will start
much better than he did in the last
campaign. Then he was unable to
attain the condition desired until
June. Four of his six losses for the
year were charged against him during
April and May, but after that he reeled
of fine string of wins. He finished
with a record of Is victories against
6 defeats. This time Stewart has an
idea he will do much better.
