| Text | The Beacon nine has always been a resort for college graduates who won notoriety on their base ball teams, and has thus had the cream of the resident intercollegiate players. I am afraid that we are to enjoy the excellent ball playing of the Beacons no more. It is no small task to look after all the dates and business arrangements of a club which plays out of town almost every Saturday during the summer. For a long time George Sawyer has acted as captain and manager for the Beacons, and has devoted much time to looking after the interests of the club. He can no longer take the time from his law practice, and consequently, the Beacons are without a manager. Then, too, the genial third baseman of the nine, Mr. Welch, will play ball no more, and with these two men gone the team is somewhat broken up. What plan will be adopted for next year is not yet decided upon. .. They want to play ball some more, and they have one man among their number who could manage the team. Harry Hall is the one they look to now that George Sawyer retires, but he is in the South. Should he return next spring it is possible that he will take up the reins and run the club. He has money and leisure, and would be just the man for the place. |
