Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1894-04-26

One of the most enterprisin9 moves
in newspaper writing of to-day is that
just made by TIN Boston Journal.
That paper has engaged Capt. John
+. Morrill,. so noted rs captain and
manager of the Boston baseball club,
TO have charge of the review of the
baseball games in the journal, writ
ing over his own signature every sun
day an interesting and entertaining
article regarding the week sSdoings by
the baseball players of the country.
This notable move will illustrate the
intention of the journal TO give its
readers the best of everything in the
baseball line the coming summer. No
paper in the country will have, as a
contributor TO its columns, man
whose name can carry more weight
than Capt. Morrill's, and everyone will
want to read Capt. Morrill's articles.
Capt Morrill's interesting articles will
appear in the Journal exclusively.
