The youngest Indianapolis amateur who
mas trial in the pro ranks this year
IS George Broughton, former Technical
High School star, and a member Of the
Premier club last season. He has had
little trouble keeping pace with the fast
est combinations this city has been able
to put out for the past few years, and
should make a good running mate for
George Orme with the Brandford (Ont)
team Of the Mint loop. Broughton plays
a brilliant game In the field and swings
a mean club from either side Of the rub
Der.
A whole raft of other Indianapolis
youngsters are in line for league JOBS
this year and the number already signed
for try-outs probably will be doubled
before the respective mayors, chiefs or
police, or whatever they happen to be,
fire the first balls.
In mentioning the ball players who are
getting their chances this trip we should
! not forget the fellow who probably has
done more to bring out the present crop
Of fast sand-lotters than any other man
in the city, Johnny Gaeth. Johnny Noon
Johnny Gaalema, Charlie Schaefer, Billy
ONeill. Wallie Poirer, Sam Wernke and
the rest of them all were started with
or pulled up by Gaeth, and this gent can
not be given too much credit. Gaeth was
manager Of tho original Rupp team,
which for several years was the fastest
semi pro comblna ton In the State. Sew
eral Of the fellows who are stepping
OUT this season were members of this
club,
In the meantime. let's pull for a bigger,
better amateur association and turn out
some more diamond stars.
