profession, and urgently recommended him
TO Manager Spence when he understood that

would prefer as his catcher, Giligan, who had
been his old-time catcher in Providence, or
Dealy, who had then been but a short time in
Boston, Radbourne chose Dealy. The latter
seems to have lot down somewhat in his work
during the last year or SO, bur change of sur
roundings may improve him. He is a left
