 Bushelman went to Worcester and fared fairly well. He will scarcely come back Hagerman, grabbed from Denver along with the illustrious Buck O'Brien, owns good fast ball and fairish hot smoke but Casey is big and lazy and will scarcely ever be very large hero in balldom. He is now su- ing the Boston club for a full sum- mers' pay.
