...these defeats were philosophically foreseen and taken in stride. Barnaby started the season with only two veterans, Captain Ted Bullard and Bud Ager, both of whom are loading this year's team at two and one positions respectively and are now the top doubles combination...

But he managed to lash a whistling bunt to the catcher. When the dust had died down Foulfellow stood on first, Pratt stood on second, and the henna sun stood...

His detractors pointed out that he was slow afoot and weak on defense, but Yalemen replied: "All Galli-Curci could do was sing." Tony Lavelli could shoot...
