Kid Hayes to Elizabeth.
For the second time Kid Hayes is going
into professional baseball. He played for
a while with Larry Sutton in Easton last
year. but gave 1t up. With the 'Betsies'
this boy ought to shine. because he's had a
good years experience with the semi-pros

ON the ST. Bene1icts, are negotiating with
the Fall River team, and might go there this
year.

be heard from. Jimmy Taggart is signed

Harry O'Hagen VIII Manage Waterbury
Again.
This former Tiger will lead the Waterbury
team for the second season. There isn't a
man playing ball today who knows more
about baseball than this same Harry, and
Vailsburg is proud Of him: Young Welsher
Is q protege Of Harry's. He predicts great
things for the boy and incidentally for
his own team.
Joe Harter n Hoidouf.
1t Is said that Joe Harter. last year with
the Lynn team Of the New England League
and who was with the Tigers earlier In the
season, has n kick over salary with the
Lynn management. He says he will not
play ball any more in the league unless his
demands are granted. However. it's q safe
bet that he will be playing up there. He's
too good a man for Lynn to lose and too
sensible n boy to neglect a good oppor-
tunity. He was a star in the Puritan League
last year. -.

It's surprising to know that this Vicin-
ity has so many men identified with
professional baseball. A great many
cities boast of their contributions to the
national game, but it is doubtful if any
section of the country, outside of great
big New York and Philadelphia can lay
claim to a larger number of profess
sional ball-players than will leave New
ark and it's environs this year to caper
before the big crowds in leagues in all
parts of the country.
Besides the men pictured above there
are others who + being sought by
managers from far and near. The adj
vent of these boys into professional
baseball will be told in these columns
when their cases are ripe. This story
deals with men who are going to play
professional ball this year, or those who
will likely play, il the inducements are
right. The unusual interest shown in
the game ~hereabouts last year and the
activity of Larry Sutton, the famous
scout, is largely responsible for this out
going of local men to play the game.

The premier position of all these men
is held by John Miller, the Kearny boy.
He is the only one signed by a major
league team. So much is thought Of
him in the Smoky City that Barney
Dreyfuss fought hard before the Ma
tional Commission to get him from
Cleveland, whose scout sneaked him
from McKeesport, where the Pirates
had farmed him out. He will report to
the Pirates. however. in a few days.
