...York is supposedly laid out very simply. The Avenues run north and south from One to Twelve. (The City also threw in Park, Madison, Lexington and some other unnumbered avenues just to make it difficult.)

...Park plans to shift around lineups, work with different batteries, and get some good competition from the pro clubs during the team's stay in Sanford. Though Harvard may not bring back the kind of record it used to compile against rinky-dink junior colleges down south, Park is optimistic. "We're down here to learn," he said, "and the pro clubs will help us prepare for anything those Eastern League clubs might throw against...
