He prowled from Carnaby Street to King's Road, slipping in and out of boutiques and coffeehouses, among other places, and summed up the scene in a collage technique that includes, as he put it, "bits of just about everything -acrylics...
Welz, a left-handed swinger as is Grate, is being moved up to the cleanup spot for today's game, ahead of slow-starting Dan Hootstein. The junior right fielder, who led the team with a .325 average last season, hit a disappointing .158 in the opening games...
