"Chic" Brown, Henderson, and Ernie "Dog" Stokes will be v greatly missed on the mound, Barney / Abbott and George Tomlin will leave > second base sort of vacant, John Munn at (| left and "Cocky" Blair at center field ^ are great losses as is Watson on first. But under the leadership of Captain j Kncccc and alternate captain Brogden, the boys who arc left will have a very j strong outfit. Besides a number of new men which Carolina is counting on getting, there will be Kneece pitching; three catchers that are all good, arc William- n son, Don Tomlin, and Ray Johnson; ^ Derrenbacker and Alexander will be back in the outfield; Clary, Brogden, and J Jack Lyon will be in the infield.
