one filled with startling play-.5
The manager of the All Stars team.
which is to come has said in a letter
to Manager Frank C. Godfrey that
thisteam is one of the best ever made
up, with possibly the exception of one
of theLplayers. He does not mention
his name, however, but probably those
fans who have followed the playing
of these men in the Hudson River and
other big leagues will know.
