George Ornae Taking
Stab at Big League
Berth With Red SOr

Indianapolis has added another act to
basebalPs "big show"
George Orme, for several years one OF
Indianas leading amateur and seml-pro
bali players, has been sold to the Boston
Americans by the Branford club of the
Michigan Ontario League, and is making
a big hit with Manager Ed Barrows and
the members of the Boston team.
Orme reported to the Red So1 Sept. D.
He has not yet had the opportunity to
play a full game, but has been used in
several games for two and three innings
at a time, and as a pinch hitter he has
shown that his sticking eye is still with
him by getting at least one hit each
game he has had a chance to perform IN
the big show.
At Detroit last Friday, the Premiers,
several of them Orme's old team mates,
on their way to Flint, stopped off for
the Boston Detroit game, and saw the
Indianapolis boy get a hit, walk and
steal one base in his three chances with
the club Orme has also lived up to
expectations in the field and Barrows
believes that after a trip south with the
team next spring he will be about ready
to bust in for a regular job.
Early in the season Orme was sent
TO Milwaukee by q Mint League Club,
but that time he did not belong to tho
nclub that sent him and he was called
back by Branford.
When Orme left Branford he was lead
ing the Mint League in base stealing
and was right up with the leaders in
the hitting and fielding departments.
