...Austin may be considered candidates for the position of change pitcher, and Jones and Choate, catchers on the '88 nine, and Henshaw, '89, candidates for change catcher.

Page, little, wiry, cat-like Page, hit the record such a crack this year as to send it up to 6.00 1-4. * * * Then Reinhart stands at 5.10 1-4; Atkinson, 5.9 3-4; Richards, 5-9 1-4; Whitehorn...
