BIG LEAGUES AFTER
STANFORD PLAYERS
Mike Penny Has Offer From Kit
y League And Wesley Embry
From Blue Grass.

SO good have the members of the
Stanford base ball team become and so
far has their reputation spread By rea-
son of their 20 straight victories, that
several have already been offered league
positions. Mike Penny has received an
offer from Clarksville, Tenn, to catch
in the Kitty League, and Wesley EN-
bry is wanted by Manager Kuhn for a
try-out in the box with the ShelbyvilIe
Blue Grass League team.
1t is hardly probable that either will
accept the offers made them, for both
desire to take college courses, and par
ticlpation in league games would forev-
er bar them from college or other anna
teur games. Both are among the best
players on the local team when at their
best, and their friends believed that
either would make good" in fast COM
pany.
Much local interest is felt here in the
success which Milton Mccormick is at
tanning with the Paris team of the Blue
Grass League this season. He has
pitched in five games so far and won
every one of them. once or twice win
ming the game himself by his own bat
ting. He is considered the best pitcher
developed in the Blue Grass this season,
and will undoubtedly "go up" if he
continues his splendid record
Harry Camnitz. also Lincoln coun-
ty boy, has been sent by Pittsburg to
Newark, New Jersey. in the Eastern
league for little more experience. His
friends are confident that he will soon
be with the Pirates permanently, for he
is showing the same qualities which
have made his older brother, Howard,
the best pitcher on the Pittsburg ros-
ter.
