...infield presents one of the toughest problems for Samborski to find an answer to. Only Captain Johnny Coppinger remains from last year's regular infield, and he'll be trying to pull down the hot corner again. In the running for the same position along with him is John Chase, late of the hockey sextet. Samborski won't quite be starting from scratch in finding a man to cover first base.

She would have to be on crutches for the ceremony, but Jane...
