THE SITTON BOYS.
Crack Baseballists Getting Ready for
the Opening OF the Season.
(Anderson Mail. 27th.l

Vedder Sitton, who last year took
first place among the pitchers of the
South Atlantic League, and will this
year pitch for Cleveland, in the
American League, left his home at
Pendleton to-day for Mobile, Ala,
where the Cleveland team will train.
Vedder has made most remarkable
record in base ball circles, and his
rapid rise has evidenced the fact of
his ability.
Philip Sitton, brother of Vedder,
will this year play with the Philadel-
phia Nationals. He will leave March
9Th for Baden Springs, La, to go
into training with his team. An ef-
fort was made on the part of the
Cleveland team to get both of the
Sittons, but this failed. 1t is safe
to say, however, that Phil will be in
the American League next year.
Both of the Sitton boys are in the
pink Of condition in spite Of the Off
season, and will make new records
with the sphere. They have not al
lowed their arms TO become stiff and
the wisdom of this will later be seen.
