these parts wants to do a little
proselyting, they could do no bet-

the Doughboy hitters down last

hurler that has been here. ■ Of
course, we can imagine that Leo
would have something to say about
enticing that redhead away from
their ball club. . . . Too bad that
Leo isn’t in the league. They have
a nice, all-round club.
