urday, the three days of the
convention ' and the program

tion and experts on subjects

the following: JThis is the kid

up sensationally since going in-
to training. His fielding has
won acclaim and his battpig
average for four games is .353.”
In last Saturday’s game with
Montreal he accepted ten
chances without an error at'
! short, assisted in two double
plays, and out of four times at
bat, got one.hit and a walk. In
Sunday’s game he secured one
1/hit which counted at the plate
and took part in three double
plays.

very unusual for a ball player
to step from a sand lot K Class
A baseball.
