| Text | J. R. Hawley is about to establish a sort of base-ball agency for players much after the style of theatrical agencies. During last season he was frequently in receipt of letters and telegrams from clubs in different parts of the country, asking him to secure them a catcher or a pitcher or a player to fill some other position. He was unable to comply with these requests, as he was at a loss to know where to get men. It is his idea to secure the addresses of the most prominent amateurs around Cincinnati, and have them on file in his store. This will obviate any trouble in filling orders for additional base-ball talent when the calls are made from a distance. It is to the interest of all amateurs in this vicinity, or professionals out of a job, to have their names and addresses placed on file with Mr. Hawley, a it may be the means of securing them an engagement. No charge will be made in the way of a commission, as is the custom with other professional agencies. |
