THE BRIDGEPORT TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19. 1924 New York Hard Place for Young Ballplayer to NEW YORK, Jan. It of course, the aim of the minor leaguer and, so it is said, of all the big league baseball players to reach Xew and a position on either the American or the National League team. New York is tho end ot the long, long trail to the vast majority of young men who tako their baseball seriously. Yet ii.

They nre frank to admit that there is no on the New Tork clubs to spend in an effort develop young play- s. The money that has been spent by two clubs is a strong indication ttftVve TMen 0 "rthaf are sidered finished products when they HAND WINNER; HRIG WOULD BE SHOW CLUBS Philly Batterymen to Report on February 24 PHILADELPHIA, Jan.
