With CAMP arrival of Duke Reilly tha Bee (or the season of 1920 is complete.

On the contrary, the skipper has at g outfielder in mind least one who may join the Bees later, but thus far the club which owns his services is not disposed to talk business on rea sonuble terms. There are Indications, though, that arrangements can be made for a sale and purchase. Naturally, It la unsatisfactory to both writer and reader to publish something without definiteness surh as an enco-niuof a ball player without naming the ball player.

We know of no club in the league that has the balanced outfield strength which Halt Lake has this season. There is extraordinary ability, extraordinary speed on the bases and extraordinary hitting - strength. Of course, all of these superb- qualities do not reside In one and the same player, but In the case of the Bees outfield they ars evenly and nicely distributed, so that, as a combination for defense and offense, the outfield ptomises to render a good account of itself this season.
