Christensen is won- derfully fast on his feet and like a jack rabbit in skipping over the ground, He went away back to the centre field fence yesterday and caught a long drive that Bob Connery hit to him. For a little fellow Christensen hits the ball hard. He is only 5 feet 7 inches, yet last year he turned in an average of 345 for 112 games.

Hawks, however, is a six footer and welghs 175 pounds. He is a harder hitter than Christen- sen and last season batted .369 for 112 games. He also stole 40 bases.
