Z "a A writer to the Hazleton Stand
ard says this about about the Jeanes
vile nine. sit is very hard matter t,
give the names of those who are Il
I comprise the team, as so many change
have already taken place, and presen
indications are not at all auspicious
D which renders it impossible to speal
with any degree of accuracy. Brady
whose presence on the team for tn
: entire season, was set down as Y Ger
tainty, left quite suddenly. and nov
= Hayes, who, by the way, rendered him
self highly obnoxious by his conduct
e few days ago, will, it is now likely, ais
:, migrate. Thus the team will lose
r catcher and pitcher, but this, after al
is not alarming, as there will be FaiI
t hurst and Schmear to catch, an
z Schock to take charge of the box, whic
e in the event of but one or two games
e week being played, would be quite sui
e fclent. OF course team not havin
J, at least two reputable pitchers, is cel
\ tainly "bum,n but the team can easil
( afford to wait without any injury {
/ their reputation, for at least montl
e after which time the supply of pitcher
will be such as to enable the manage
ment TO select good one, or two,
necessary
