town yesterday morning. II was freely
rumored that both Hughes and Altrock
were slated for releases, but Mr.. Noyes
would not confirm this. saying that
Hughes had a lame arm and that Alt
rock would join the Nationals in Chi

Hughes and AItrock Will both hear the
rattle OF tin cans.
Scout Mike Kahoe is hot on the trail
OF a couple Of pitchers, and when they
are landed. if they show their ability
TO keep their heads above water in fast
company, # looks like slow curtains
for Hughes and Altrock.
Tom Hughes was seen at the American
