IN ALL, SOME GREAT BALL was played on a team basis as well as an individual basis. The efforts as the type of boy you see on teams that go this far, is that of those who are willing to pay the price it takes to be something extra Any of these boys could be good ball players without mmh work, but to be where they arc takes that hard work ye n round. □—-- — — 0 THANKS □—_- _ - □ I would like to thank everv< ne who remembered me with cards gifts and other expressions of kindness while 1 was in the hospital and now at homo.
