George Prentiss, the very clever foot.
ball player, baseball player and all
round athlete, who is now pitching for
Roger Conner's Waterbury club of the
Connecticut State League is certainly
covering himself with glory
George has now twirled three games
and has won them all, his opponents
only making three runs against him per
game. This is not all he has done. His
stick work being very good, he not fail
ing to get hit since being on the team,
and on Friday against the New Britains
he made three hits and scored one run
This game was the first home game he
pitched and the local fans had nothing
but praise for him, saying that there was
no doubt but that he would stay the se:A.
son out and that he would be one of the
best pitchers onl THE league. Since being
on the team George has had three offers
from other clubs, but has refused them
all saying that he was very well satisfied
with his associates and the treatment he
has received.
There is very little doubt but that
George will be one of the shining stars G
the diamond and in Roger Conner he
has found a man who will push him to
the front and do everything that wlM
benefit him. Good luck to you, George
