Win Clark, who is well remembered as
former New England league player,
| is now doing umpire work in the Vir-
ginia league. After leaving Lawrence,
he managed club in that league for
some time. He was then made an UNI
pire in the South Atlantic. He has UNI

Red Calhoun has his Binghamton
club out front leading the procession
in the New York State League. He

list.
Lowell Sun: The scribes around the cir
cult are certainly giving Secretary Coop
er grand old panning these days and
you can hardly blame them. He mas
been a failure as a league official from
the start. But Cooper is not so much to
blame for existing conditions as is Tim
Murnane. Murnane appears to have no
interest In New England league affairs
aside from the salary attached to his
job, and the quicker we get rid of two
such officials the better off the old league
will be. You can hardly expect much
from the secretary when he is set such
an example by the president.
