CONN MAY BOSS
TIGERS NEXT YEAR

James n. Let's. president OF the
Trenton club, and other directors,
are inclined to be reticent about the
Tigers line of action for next sea-
son. II has been announced that
Trenton would again have team i'm
the Tri-State League and that Nor
ris Park would again be the home
Of the club.
Although no manager has as yet
been selected. Bert Conn. the Johns
town star outfelder, is looked upon as
the most likely candidate. One Of
the directors. in speaking of the mat
ter. declared that the team would
again be in the field with a player
manager at the head of the team.
Conn seems to be the only one eligi-
Bile in that class. although II may be
the idea of the directors to select a
man new to the managerial reins.

The officials of the Harrisburg base
ball club has received word from
President Farrell of the National As
sociation of Professional Base Ball
Clubs. which controls the minor
league draft that Pitcher Paul Fit
terry has been drafted by the Bir-
mingham, Ala, club of the Southern
League.
Fittery failed 70 show form good
enough for the Tri-State and early
last season was sent to Anderson, n.
C.. where he pitched splendid ball for
Buck Ramsey's club. which won the
pennant Fittery developed a slow
ball and won a big majority of his
games and it was thought that some
major league or Glass AA organiza-
ton would take him. He fell to the
draft of the Glass A leagues and Har-
risburg is entitled 90 5000 for the
sale
With the sale of Fittery for $500 and
the draft of Shorttop Young by the
New York Americans and Catcher
Miller by Pittsburgh Nationals. each
player costing $1,000 the Harrisburg
club will realize $4,000 from the sale
of players. Maisel's draft money
goes to the Baltimore club This is
just about the amount the deficit
reached for the season from all
Sources and when the money is re-
ceived from the various clubs the as
sociations books will be in better
shape than ever before
No step have been taken toward or
ganizing the club for next season. but
it is expected that George Cockll will
be back as manager and that Harris
burg will again hs i'm the field with
a first class club. The pitching staff
will be intact and all that Cockill
will need is a first class catcher and
a couple of infelders.

All we ask oE~you is
this-DON'T BUY until
after you've given us the
pleasure of showing you
