GETS OLD
JOB BACK

Barney Jergins. former catcher for
the ST. Joseph club. who has just re
signed the latter. will probably be the
Columbia Leagues new backstop. Jer-
gems for some reason unknown quit
the St Joseph club early this week. 1t
is thought that the resignation was due
to some minor troubles which came up
after the game with Kensington last
Sunday
Barney is one of the best amateur
catchers in the Calumet region, and
certainly made good with his former
teammates
It was rumored that Jergens would
catch for the Columbia League, but he
has not decided as yet whether or not
he will accept the offer.
