They still have a lot of good games in their systems, particularly Brown, who is still a young fellow, but Man- ager Howard figures a change of scene will do them The Oaks are depending upon a deal with a big league club for Buzz Arlett, crack mghthander, to bolster up the team ° hybepa how good Joe Benjamin ts now will be more definite after his| round bout with Jimmy Sacco, the Boston flash, in Portland Friday | (might.
