ter from Charlie Schmidt, of Fort
Scott and catcher for the champion De-
troit baseball team.
In this letter Schmidt tells Kretzer
not to sign up with any team until he
hears from him again. Schmidt says
he can put Cy in fast company.
This may MT mean that ~ will go
to Detroit for at least a season. but
Schmidt will undoubtedly place KretZer
in a place where he can be watched by
himself and the great Hughey Jen-

Kretzer pitched great baseball this
season. He was with Fort Smith for
g time and was known there as mo
Hit Cy. He was also in the Kansas
State league and during the season, he
