This boy is going to be. q

that he's the kind that can play

Ralph Houk. the Denver man

The former Yankee catcher had
Kubek for about a month last

after Billy Hunter, the regular

when you singled out Kubek. +"

Tony can do everything well.
He has a strong arm. a good

Give him a little more exper-
fence and he can't fail to reach
