Ant * ’ s U P ,0 Charley Hemphill to get a big syringe and inject a bunch of this "pep” into ,is men. As I have said, they can walk in t om the field, locate their bench without a guide, sit down without being told, know when it is their turn to bat. realize when three are out. >an find where they left their roves, put 'em on without instruc tions and prepare for the opposi tion c assault without being signed.

Hemp hill, while not as fast as a half dozen years back, 'can still burn the dust. McElveen and Agler both look fleet of foot, while Harbison, despite his elongated pedals, ap pears to be able to cover the soil in fair fashion. Still they forget all their speed once they get on.
