! CT John Anderson: Anderson will not
go to the National League without
! giving McAleer a chance to bid for his
| services He is a manly fellow, who
can be counted on to do business open
and above board. Burkett. who is also
a resident of Worcester. has been
delegated to keep in close touch with

big fellow is one Of the best first base
men In the business and his loss would
