HARRY BERRY IS
 MAKING GOOD
Former Pine Bluff Manager is Play
 ing Good Ball as Member of the
 Little Rock Southern League team.

Harry Berry, the Travellers second catcher, is just now getting his first opportunity to show his worth. It is thankless job, however, second with backstop like Casey on the team. Nevertheless, Berry made a most impressive showing in Fridays game against Memphis, and is likely to get chance to work often if he can keep that work up.
 Berry broke into professional ball in the New York State League in 1899. He played in that organization until 1902, when he joined the Baton Rouge team of the Cotton States League, and and 1903. Tn 1904 he was with Pine Bluff in the same league. In 1905 he was with Fort Worth in the Texas League, and Savannah ill the South Atlantic League, both of which teams won the pennant in their organiza- ton.
 Il 1906 he was with Decatur in the Three l League, and in 1907 managed the Pine Bluff team in the Arkansas State League. In 1908 he started out as manager of the Hot Springs team, and later was traded to Helena. When the state league blew up he was sign ed by Little Rock-Little Rock Gaz- cite.
