SIGNED WITH BROOKLYN

Harry Pattee. who Is at present a senior
at Brown university, has signed his con
tract with the Brooklyn team and Will
play with them this year. He Will not
report with the team when IL goes south
for the spring practice but will do IA ne
did last year. conditioning himself In prac-
tice with the teams in this vicinity and
after graduation will report to the Brook
lyns wherever they may be at that time
Pattee has had n rapid rise I'm the base
ball world from his start with the Brown
team. which he made without opposition
in his freshman year. He was such
good player ali the season that his work
attracted attention from the professionals
and he was wanted by them then. Hs
remained n member OF the Brown team
in 1903. when Brown turned out n cham
pionship team under "Daff' Gammons
and then jumped into the Eastern league.
Providence wanted the player at that
time, but Manager Murray of the Jersey
City team got to him first Many pre-
dicted that Pat" would not make good
with that fast aggregation. but he de-
ceived them all and was so successful that
he was wanted badly last season by the
same team.
When the school year ended last spring
Jersey City was so well off at second
base that many predicted that Pattee
would not be able to displace tho man
holding down the position then. He went
to work, however. and In addition to field
ing his position in n brilliant manner
batted among the best In the league and
held the position the remainder OF the
season.
His good work attracted the attention
OF the major leagues and at the end OF
the season he was among the first players
10 be drafted by Brooklyn. 1t Is the wish
OF his many friends here that he will make
good I'm the fast company with which he
Will be thrown this ason, and his work
will be watched with much interest
