KAY is SECURED
BY HAGERSTOWN
Heavy Hitting "BlI" viii Arrive in
Few Days-Edward PIeiss
Also Coming.

To fill the void caused by the Je-
parture OF Sentz and Brent who
jumped the Hagerstown baseball club
without saying word to the manage
ment, Captain Hanks has signed Bill
Kay and Ed. Pleiss, two hard hitting
outfielders, both of whom will report
In the course of few days. Pleiss
may arrive in time for the game with
Winchester Saturday, while Kay will
probably not land in Hagerstown be-
fore Monday or Tuesday.
Kay, it will be remembered, first at
tracted attention in the baseball world
while a member of the Martinsburg
club last season. His wonderful bat
ting came to the notice of Manager
Cantillion of the Washington club and
he was signed playing a number of
games with Washington. 1t was ex-
pected that he would be a permanent
fixture in Was'nington's outfeld this
season, but instead he was sent by
Manager Cantillion to Minneapolis, Of
the American association. The latter
club, having more players than it was
able to carry, farmei Kay to the
Montgomery club, of the Southern
league. While there he was taken
sick, as a result of the heat, and re-
turned to his home at Newcastle,
Va. In letter to Captain Hanks,
Kay says he has entirely recovered
his health and is in good physical
condition. ready to get into the game.
He did not return south on account of
the intense heat.
With the arrival of Kay and Pleiss
Hagerstown will have not only an ex-
ceptionally fast outfield, but at the
same time the club will have on it the
kind of hitters vino will cause oppos-
ing twirlers to look up and take no
tice.

commendable.

ROTHWELL'S SELECTION
is VERY PLEASING
Martinsburg Man Who is Secretary OF
the international Apple Shippers
Association.

Members of the state board OF agri-
culture, as well as other fruit grow
ers in this section and throughout the
state, are pleased with the selection
of G. p. Rothwell, OF Martinsburg, as
secretary of the International Apple
Shippers, of which he as well as many
other growers in this state are mem
bers.
The meeting of the association was
held in New York, and the attendance
was about normal. Reports from all
sections of the country where great
deal of attention is paid TO apple
growing, show that the crop this year
is exceptionally heavy and that aHl
conditions promise a very profitable
year.
West Virginia's crop will be large
and the orchard men, especially in
the eastern part of the state, will reap
bountiful harvest. The same con-
ditions prevail in the eastern and New
England states.
West Virginia is attracting more at
tention every year, as fruit growing
state, and is now considered one of
the important ones.
