team a Georgetown may leave within
q few days TO join an independent
semi professional club in New York
Billy Martin and Mccarthy are the
youngsters being sought. Country.
Norris has also been asked to join the
anne team 1t is probable that both
Martin and Mccarthy will report but il
is doubtful about Morris. Martin is
now playing shortstop for the Cornell
Company in the Capital City League.
Norris is with the American Security
and Trust Company in the same cir
cult. Mccarthy is not performing on
any Of the local clubs
The loss of Martin and Morris 10 the
two teams mentioned would mean that
both would be weakened considera bly,.
Both boys are clever performers in
almost every department of play.
There is a possibility though. that
neither Martin nor Morris will leave
the teams they are now with
Bill Martin would undoubtedly have
nlduc regular position on the George

II must be granted that there are few
college or amateur pitchers who have
ANYTHING on Chris Fienle. He does not
Hav. any great amount Of stun. but
ne knows how 70 use what he has TO
TIE best advantage. which is about
1hree- fourths of pitching. Flenie has
air speed and fair curve. which is
ebcut all he attempts To throw. Yet he
gets away with his games. ANY time
III amateur team faces AIM il is going
n nave mighty hard time winning.
tie is not a brilliant pitcher, not one
vbo viu establish great records for
~trfke-oufs etc. but ne is in there
working all the time lie Is absolutely
