Hence the Bellboys placed two of their regulars in the infield of the first nine and almost had a third man honored with a first team rating. Wally Liverance at the keystone sack was easily the most polished fielder at his position in House baseball. Many claim for him the title of best fielder in the League, and Wally fully deserves that first string berth despite his rather weak hatting mark...
...Crimson well fortified in the outer gardens and may eventually and Sophomore Gone Levett to the sidelines. Fred Hockel played in Keyes place at shortstop throughout most of the Holy Cross game after Art Johns was driven off the mound back to his regular post at the keystone sack. "Snake" Keyes has been struggling with a rest batting slump which has found his average dipping down around 100 for the 11 contests he has played in.

Arrested on suspicion of grand larceny, Eric Pinker appeared in a police lineup, jaunty in sack suit and bowler, to plead not guilty, to be confronted by "indications" that Romancer Oppenheim was not his only dissatisfied client. Finding that he had a good British passport in his pocket, a magistrate sent Mr. Pinker, handcuffed to a Negro prisoner, to be held in the Tombs without bail for trial. When a grand jury handed up an indictment and Mr. Dewey's office revealed that a series of complaints had swelled Agent Tinker's alleged pilferings to $100,000, other...
