Bean and Russell developed in to dependable pitchers, and shared that responsibility between them, while Blim Witham ably filled the catcher's position during the last part of the season. Washburn and McCollor, playing their first year in the infield, did good consistant work, While the whole team came thru with a fine season's play.
