We've just finished an en- tire new outside fence, and a force is now at work repairing the inside fence and the buildings.

His curves are good and then he has admirable control of the ball, a very neces- sary thing in effective pitening.” “'What is his best ball A high drop. He sends it like a shot about on line with the batter's eyes, but just as it reaches a hittiog distance it takes a sudden downward shoot right over the plate.
