Talk Changes For The Future At Team Meet
The Sycamore Sons plan radical changes after last Sunday's Sycamore Elgin contest. Captain Strombom may swap Bowers to catcher or outfield duties, while Scummy may try backstop. Snelgrove, Strombom, Bowers, Burchfield, Martin, Kendall and Ruth are fixtures. Roush and Warren may stay uncertain. The team aims to fix shortstop weakness and strengthen the outfield as Strombom proves if he can handle catcher duties. The note ends with an odd remark about the Earth’s equator shrinking by a mile and a half in a century.
