season could have done better than
Clarke did.

~ Speaking about Billy Zimmerman,
the New York State Lacquer who stole
107 bases this season and who was

who first signed him to a baseball
, contract, Larry tells this story:

steal, telling the fellows to go down
whenever moved my right hand This
day silver dollar came over the roof

it in my pocket with the right hand.

Martin Walsh, brother of the famous
Ed Walsh, of the Chicago White Sox,
is said to have been signed by the Jer-
sey City Club, of the Eastern League.
n Walsh was given trial by the Newark

mean, unsportsmanlike act, as Stafford
had no way of coming back at him.

hopes to get good start for a winters
campaign. Danny is certainly clever
boy.
