JENSEN DEATH
|SFELT HERE
Southpaw Pitcher Well
Known Throughout This
Section of State

Baseball players and fans IN this
city and vicinity and other sections
OF the state mourn the passing Of
Andrew Jensen, a young %southpaw
pitcher. Jensen died on Friday even
ing after being sick for only a short
period.
The portside hurler could we'll
have been considered a picture of
health not long over a week ago.
Followers of baseball performe-s in
this section had spoken we'll of Jen-
sens chances OF advancement and he
was coming forward at a rapid pace.
Starting on the sandlots he adj
vanced rapidly to semi-pro circles
and last year had a crack at minor
league baseball. Under capable lead
ership he would have been ushered
into the ranks of a good minor
league team in a season or two, it
was the opinion of the fans.
Andrew Jensen is a brother of
Aicer, another well known local
southpaw. The two Jensens have
pitched for a number of teams
throughout this state, the older
brother having spent some time with
the Newark club of the International
league two seasons ago. Aicer also
had other minor league experience.
The sympathy of local sportdonl
is extended to the family OF the de-
ceased balltosser.
