'OLD PARTNERS MEET:
HAVE TANNING FEST
George Cockill and Bill CoughIin
Hand Out Great Conversa-
tiOn at Scranton

Umpire George CockiI and former
Harrisburg manager was a visitor in
Scranton the other day. While there
Coughlin. The conversation that fol-
lowed the meeting of these two old
cronies was regular old-time tanning
fest. The Scranton News has the fol-
lowing to say about this meeting:
George Cockill, former Albany first
sacker erstwhile manager of the Har-
risburg Tri-State team and more re-
Gently elected an umpire in the Ma
tional League. dropped off yesterday
to pay visit to Bill Coughin, his old
time friend and teammate. The two
veterans of the diamond went to the
mat in handshake that fairly emitted
sparks in the lobby of Hotel Casey,
and after they had each told one an
other how well he was looking they
slowly sauntered directly south by
southeast and sat down at a mission
wood table and pushed the button.
Tall Ebony Man Takes the Order
"A tall ebony gentleman took their
order and then they fell to. Cockill
said that he just dropped off to tell
Bill that Charlie Miller. the catcher
he bought from the Harrisburg team.
was going to be the best catcher in the
State league. Bill asked George if he
couldn't think of anything else, and
George said yes. there We're a couple
of good ball players whom he thought
he could land for Coughlin, and Bill
told him to go to it so fast that if any
body would wink they'd miss him.
Bill and George talked to each
other pro and con--mostly con--for
nigh more than an hour and when the
chatter was over the Miner boss had
pretty good assurance that he would
have few young ball players along
later in the Spring that would be
worth trying out. Cockdll told Bill
that he was more than glad that he
had been given another chance to boss
the local team. The new big league
ump is one of the strongest rooters for
Bill. 1t was Coughlin that was mainly
responsible for lot of the success at
tanned in the minors by Cockill and
George is not ungrateful In his new
berth in the big league he will be in
an ideal position to tip off the local
leader to any desirable young material
that might be on the market, and
what's more he has given Coughlin
his word that he will do it,"
