DANNY MURPHY

Sammy Lawrence VIII Get Tryout
With New Haven.

Manager Danny Murphy believes
he has a prize in Young Sammy Law
renee. the New London boy. who tried
out as a catcher with the Murlins
few days ago. Lawrence made such
a favorable dent on Danny when he
held up RUDE Bressler in faultless
style that he has signed the young lad
to a 1917 contract for the New Ha-
ven club and expects Lawrence to
prove one of the best catchers in
Glass B. baseball. Lawrence was
brought from New London on the
recommendation of Tom Dunlea. The
young fellow is 20 years old and was
employed as a cable splicer in New
London for the telephone company He
played seni-pro ball. but he had not
played in several weeks when he
jumped in and made such a hit at
the Rock. He appears to have ali
the ear marks of a great catcher and
with a season or two training he
should show big league stuff. Rube
Bresler highly praises the young cat
cher and says he is the goods in
every way.
