BAXTER HEARD FROM.

We clip the following from the Daily
Herald of Tuesday evening, regarding
one of Yale's star baseball Players
The sporting editor of the Daily
Herald is in receipt Of letter from
Ernie Baxter, the well known city
league ball player, who is now in
Dowagiae, Mich. He says in part
after asking for his league averages.
81 have player two games here in my
old position at short stop. My arm
was alright and | was lucky enough
not to make one slip. 1t just seemed
like old times to get over there and
peg around the bases. | expect to re-
main here a couple of weeks yet and
then go south with Cough"
Baxter concludes by saying that he
may sign South Michigan league con-
tract, which statement, coming from
this modest player, means that his job
is almost cinched. He sends his re-
CARDS to the Chronicle players.
