After observing him daily for nearly a month the writer has come to the conclusion that it is likely to take several years of the closest appli- cation and constant instruction before he can be made a star.

He knowe less of the game than any player in camp. He misjudges many fly balls. He is as fleet as lightning going down to firet, Dut as for making the cirouit of bases he is rather slow, because he Goesn’t know how to effectively turn the corners.
