Atlanta and Litfle Rock
 Angling For Joseph Bean

Atlanta, February 9.-(Special )-Joseph Bean, ex-manager of the Jersey City team in the Eastern league, physician director at Marist college, basketball referee, as sociaton football player and general all- around athletic star, will doubtless be with the Southern league during this sea- son, either with Little Rock or Atlanta.
 A couple of weeks ago Bean got his re- lease from Jersey City and since then both Billy Smith and Mike Finn have been angling for him. If Bill Smith gets him he will be another addition to Bill Smiths all-manager team, made up all ready of Jordan, Fisher, Sugden and few other players who have been moguls in their good day.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-10

Bean would be a great partner for Otto Jordan around second base, and from the other inheld candidates Smith could get a third baseman. Then If either of the first base candidates banned out Att lanta would certainly have an infield.
 As soon as Mike Finn heard that Bean was at liberty he wrote him, saying in the course of the letter. There is al- ways a place for you on the Little Rock team"
 T helped Finn win a pennant once," said Bean in speaking of the offer, up in the New England league so many years ago that it wouldn't be polite either to me or to Finn to tell when. I'd like to play with Mike again"
 It is practically certain that one or the other of these teams will get Bean.

 Watkins weight is 155 pounds, his height 5 feet 10 inches, and his reach 73 inches.
 This little attraction will be between the halves, and will be skilfull and full of merit. The basketball game should be interesting within itself, and the boxing match, an additional attraction, should fill the house to overflowing.
