Stanley Yerkes former Waterbury twirler pitches in Texas for Galveston. Hartford shows strong fan support while a suit against President Tracy for money Clar kkin lost after Springfield refused to play. Davy Altizer now regularly in center for Cleveland. Barney Dreyfuss passed on an option on Tom Tuckey Meriden. Heston Nationals bought Tuckey and he beat the Pirates yesterday. The Young Washington Hillis beat the Young South Ends 5 4. H Young starred. Call manager Curley or Captain Young for games. Meriden fans abuse leads to Gus Soffel rushing to the bleachers threatening a burly critic during a game.
