PUTNAM GOES To TORONTO

1t has been announced through the coll
umns OF the Cincinnati Enquirer that Am
brose Pullman, ono OF the star twirlers
OF the champion Providence team, has
been transferred I'm a. deal 10 the Toronto
club and viii not he seen wearing A gray
uniform next season.
The Enquirer says that the deal was
consummated at the recent meeting of
the American league at Chicago, when
the New Yorker was sold outright 10 the
Toronto club, II will he seen from this
that Toronto intends 20 make n hard
struggle 10 step out OF the lower ranks of
the Eastern league teams and the first
form teams will have To look to their lau-
rels
Pullman Is a very valuable man 10 have
with any team and he especially pleased
the fans OF this city when he was with
the club and did a very proportionate
share OF work TO win the pennant FOR tho
team last season When Pullman was
first loaned TO the Providence team i'm 1904
he won his way to the hearts Of the fans
of this city by his excellent and steady
work and when he was recalled TO the
New York team the loss OF tho southpaw
was very Iegrottable.
During the past year he was secured
again for the team and his work aided
materially. IL was hoped by many fans
that he would again be seen with the
Grays when the season opened. but this
deal seems To preclude that possibility.
Pullman Is one OF the most effective
south paws that the Eastern league has
known during the past two seasons. and
In addition 10 being a pitcher OF the first
water he is also a very clcverd wielder
OF tho willow, many OF his clouts last
season being OF the hair-raising order and
of very timely nature
The Toronto club may consider itsele
-retv-fuct0y- m obtaining such a player.
Providence, however. need feel no fear as
