Larry Sutton Takes Them to
Pittston in Atlantic League.
Baseball Notes.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

Three local semi-professional players
have placed themselves under the wing
Of Larry sutton, the champion digger
of budding ball players. They stand
READY to answer Larry's summons from
Pittston to join him. probably some
time this week. to play out the re-
mainder of the season with the Penn
s~ylVania team in the Atlantic League.
The men are Eddie Barrett and Mike
Mclaughlin. Of the Valley team, and
Matte Hawkins, who has been catch
ing and playing the outield for the
Lincolns in the City League. These men
are good players, and IL Larry needs
them, they ought 10 make a mark for
themselves in the league. Larry picked
them out for their exceptionally good
work on local fields. They look good
To him. he said. That they VIII make
good can hardly be doubted. if we take
Larry's word. lie Is just as enthusiasts
tic about them as he was about Tim
norman and the Miller boys when he
gathered them for the Easton team IN
the Atlantic League.
Barrett is one of the niftiest catchers
doing the receiving act h~ereabouts. He
is as steady as you make them, and is q
great help to pitchers, besides being a
good hitter. Mclaughlin is one Of the
most consistent outfielders in the local
ranks. He has made his mark In the
valley. where he is a prime taNoflte.
Hawkins is good. other behind the bat
or at first. He is a hitter at all times,
and, being a heady player, is always
valuable. Good luck to You, boys, II
You hook mp with Larry. That, al
least, is "a good commentator for you.
Georeie Mills is broadening his at
tainments as a baseball man. lie has
accepted the position as umpire for the
Bloomfield team on Saturday after
moons. He did SO well as a temporary
arbitrator u few weeks ago that Man
ager Dodd. Of the suburban team,
signed him for the rest of h season.
Jack Muleahey, Of the WILLOWS. is
playing a fine game this year. He is
fielding and hitting at a great clip.
Young Harry Mccall, Of the same team,
Is also sticking at Il furious clip.
HaVens did the iron-man stunt yes
terday by pitching two games. As
usual. though. he only captured one
game. Both of them were excellent
hibitions. however. In the morning for
the Turner's he let down the Ironsides
with -four hits and defeated them in u
City League game. In the afternoon,
for the LIewellyns. OF Bloomfield, he
gave the Frankllns but five hits. The
latter, however, won the game.
IL seems that Billy Hagenbruck, of
the Franklins, has unearthed a star
in MCGOWAN, his lanky young second
baseman. In the seventh inning of yes
terday's game with the Llewellyns he
stole home as clean as a whistle. He is
still a little weak with the stick, but Is
learning rapidly.
The hitting OF Scanlon aud Ulrich, Of
the Rosevilles yesterday a nue. TO
do with the teams victory over the
Colored Giants, They had
five out OF the teams eleven hits be-
tween them.
That boy Hipfel, of the Nailsburg a.
C.. looks the goods. He had the Buck
eyes. OF Jersey City, at his mercy yes
terday, allowing them but one run.
That was a great swatfest ON the
Montelair A. G. grounds Saturday,
when the Bloomfield team II that of
the Athletic Club met in the second
game Of a series. The score was a tie,
seven runs each. The Montclair boys
had 16 hits and the Bloomields Il. The
latter boys had nearly all the extra
base drives. Joe Lennon, of the visit
tors, sprained his ankle in the eighth
inning and will be out of tina game for
