Jly preference in the matter is to play Ewing be hind the bat, providing his nnn will permit nun 10 uo me wont properly, in wnicn event Boyle would go to first bjse. Boylo is a hard, le liable hitter, always being around the 300 n.ark, and is a good man to play in every Riirac By alternating E ing and Boylo at Just bae, we should have eisht men playing toethei in every game, which Is an excellent thing.
