heads-up ball.
Instead of relying on indivi-
dual stars, Ollie Marquardt,
manager of the team, has drill
ed the players on the all inn
portant factor of teamwork.
However, our Local IL member,
Eddie Ignasiak, is astounding
even his most ardent supporters
by his clever play at first base
and at bat. He is hitting well
over the 800 mark.
Many fans are of the opinion
that the Mud Hens are a cinch
to win the Association title,
what with their present power
backed up by the st. Louis
Browns reserve material, and
their present type of team play:
enthusiasm, and determination
to win.
The Hens winning streak was
stretched to nine in a row be-
fore taking off on their invasion
of the Association ball parks of
the western division. Ten games
postponed on account of rain,
wet grounds, and cold weather
will have to be made up during
the season.

all OF his teams runs, scoring
twice himself and driving in
the third and winning run.
No errors were made by either
team and the type of ball played
indicates that the fans will be
able to witness some first rate
softbail games this summer in
the Local IL league, which is
composed of ten teams repre-
senting Units affiliated with the
