Sign With Pittsburg's Club.
Manager Buckenberger is now trying to
sign Elmer Smith to pitch for the local club.

agreed to with Smith. The latter thinks he
can pitch two games a week as good as he
ever did, and he has for some time been

any objections to Elmer's coming here he
won't be signed, as the local officials do not
want to cause anv trouble OF unpleasant
