the team has unlimited confidence

players did not like it very well. Nei-

reasons why it lost. and one of then

Burns is playing first base for them
He fits with the team. Why he ever
was let go is something that couldn't
be guessed. but in any event Cleve-
land was smart enough to detect its
mistake and quick enough in trying
to right it. because when it appear
