His home is in Sublet, Kansas, He is undecided whether he will attend. summer school here, Forrest Knute Kressie, pitcher, in-fielder, out- fielder, general utility man; hit .426. He is by far the best ball player we have but I understand he is signed up with the Iola Ban Johnson team for the summer. John Burge, pitcher, out-fielder; he hit .295. He has a job with the Recreation Department in Kansas City © for the summer, Bob Allen, first base, general utility man; hit .326, He is to study medicine next year at the University of Pennsyl- vania.
