again be in the lineup as yet it has not been definitely decided as to whether adams or dußois will do the hurling however if adams does not work in the box he will certainly patrol his old position in center field and his hitting will be an invaluable asset if bob adams is coach bald win's selection for mound duty hayes will be shifted to center field and either merrill or walker will play in
