He is far fronV being a finished product, hut he has speed and aggressiveness. In the base running end of the game we find at the same time his strength and his liability to blunder. He is not really a good Dase runner, but he steals a lot of bases, I find, how ith Leibold.

Neala Is neither as gooa a waner nor good a hitter in season. He probably wilt not prove so good a waiter In this series.

If I were attempting to choose a player most liable to do a lot of hard and timely hitting In this series I would pick Neale.
