Boom Pop Foster
For Captain Of
New Haven Club
New Haven Writer Says Jerry
Connell Isn't Capable
New Haven Leader.)

(NeW haven LedQer.)
Pop" Foster, left fielder of the To-
cal cub and leading batsman of the
Connecticut League, should be made
captain of the New Haven team, sue
ceeding Jerry Connell. And this
change should be made as soon as
possible, for New Haven needs to
win as many games at present as the
team is capable of winning.
No one questions the ability of Eos
ter, but there are many who think
that Conne1l is not capable of lead
ing a state league club-especiaily
New Haven. To captain baseball
team it takes man who knows
baseball; one who can play the
game; one whose ability is such that
It will act as an inspiration to the
other men on the club; one who has
the respect and confidence of the
players under him.
To begin with, Jerry Connell hasn't
enough ability as a player to warrant
his being made captain of the New
Haven State league club. AT best ne
can be classed onIy as a fair player.
He uses poor Judgment in directing
his men, particularly when the locals
are at bat. Several instances of his
mis-judgment were exhibited at the
Lighthouse Point grounds Sunday af-
ternoon. His instructions to base
runners while he was coaching at
first were not what they should have
been.
Take Pop" Foster on the other
hand. The fact that he is leading
the league in batting with an aver
age of $50 for the season needs 10
comment. And his ability as field
er isn't questioned. That the 9TH
er members of the team would res
pect him more than they do Connell
if for his ability alone. disregard
ing the personality of both mems
the belief of practically every fan in
New Haven. We do not think that
even Mr. Cameron himself, the own
er of the team, will question this
point.

Another story told by Mccain is
about his adventures in the Virginia
league when he first played profess
sional ball. There were a number of
players in the league who afterward
became famous in the major leagues.
Included in that number was Wild Bill
Donovan, the Detroit pitcher. One
morning while McCann's team was in
Richmond he and Donovan, with some
other players, went to the police court
to hear Judge Crutchfield try cases
The judge was known throughout the
State for his eccentric manner of con-
Quoting the court and his side re-
marks to prisoners. Court was pro-
