Pee Wee Pitcher Leads Mobile Club in Size Not Weight
The Mobile club lists Gordon Hickman as the original pee wee pitcher on its payroll, weighing only 110 pounds. Rumors from a Western source say Billy Murray may loosen up several young phenoms originally considered for the South. Umpire Kane, nicknamed the man with a smile, is set to clash with Johnnie McGraw as New York patrons anticipate those confidences. Stallings scouts eight infield hopefuls for four spots, hoping to pick four strong ones. Suter, left-handed pitcher signed by the White Sox, previously with San Francisco, is Texas born and once played with Bailey on the Austin team. Texas sends many players to fast company as Browns and Cardinals drop no pre-season games. Bresnahan respects the McAleer hustlers, while the Browns plan to convert Criss into a catcher and possibly the ground keeper later.
