MORGAN OF SPRINGFIELD
 GOES TO BOSTON BRAVES

lCy Morgan, the crack Springfield pitcher, who in point of games won, leads the Eastern league beavers, has been bought back by the Boston Braves from Springfield and will report to the Hubmen next week Morgan went south with the Braves last season, be- ing obtained from the New England league which found the going too rough and was forced to disband. To date with Springfield Morgan has record of 24 victories and only six defeats.
 At one time he had string of 10 consecutive victories chalked up to his credit. Baseball men predict that he will stick with the Braves next season and develop into one of the best pitch CTS in the game Morgan has knack of keeping his pitches low so that it makes it hard for batsman to connect. His delivery is hkened to that of John Watson, former New Haven pitcher, who has been pitching winning ball for the Pirates.
