   J. L. Caldwell, pitcher, lives at Bernice, La.  Last season he was with Ardmore in 
the Texas-Oklahoma League.  He was purchased from Ardmore on the recommendation of 
Catcher Foley White, who caught for Wichita Falls last season.  Tony Thebe also has 
played in the league with Caldwell and recommends him highly.  Caldwell is 21 years 
old, stands six feet one inch and weight 185 pounds.  He is said to have a lot of 
smoke and is touted as a coming youngster.

   Charles Foster, pitcher, of Cleveland, Ohio, was signed by Scout Charles 
Baumgartner.  He is said to be of the most promising young pitchers ever turned out 
of Cleveland and those who have seen him work say he is big league caliber.  Scout 
Baumgartner said Foster is the best looking young pitcher he has ever found and 
predicts a bright future for him.  Foster is 22 years old, weights 175 pounds and 
is five feet eight inches high.

   J. C. Dooley, catcher, is also from Cleveland and was signed by Baumgartner.  
He weights 168 pounds, and is five feet eleven and one-half inches tall.  Last 
season he hit .378 in the Cleveland City League.
