Wichita, Kansas ;

Dear Frank:

We had but four ball players on our Varsity
team this year: Eddie Hall, catcher, in-fielder or
out-fielder, general utility man. 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. And, since he has been in school four years, I think he
is going to take things pretty easy and just coast a bit.

I'm sorry that we cannot help you but if I learn the
identity of a real good ball player, I shall be happy to refer
him to you for your attention.

With all good wishes, I an,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and
Recreation-Varsity Basketball and
Baseball Coach.
