one of the mat>stc Us of the pitching depart
ment of the Kansas City Western league team,
resides at Elmira, NJ Y. He began paying
ball in that city on town lots as a pitcher,
and joined the Buffalo club of the Eastern
league in the spring Of 1892, finishing the
season with Binghamton. He was traded to
Syracuse in the middle of the season of '94
for George ("Clara"O Payne, now of Brook
Ign. He finished the year of 1894 with SYRIA
cuse, and played in that city in 1896. He was
drafted by Manager Manning, of the Kansas
City club, at the c.ose of that season. His
work with the Blues last season was creditable
and he is expected to prove winner in 1897.
