Another Benton County Ball Flayer Making Good.

A Chicago paper today publishes a large picture of Fred Williams, of Wadena, now with the Chicago Cubs. He is called “Cy” in baseball parlance. Williams visited the family of H. E. Hartley in Rensselaer last fall. He was then a student at Notre Dame University, but he graduated from that institution in June and soon after joined the Cubs, with whom he played during the summer vacation last year. He is clouting out the ball with regularity. Thursday he got a single and a triple in four times up. The American says of him: “A man who is hitting the ball and who did not cost slß,ooo,’’ which is a dig at the Sox hit-less wonder, Chappflle, who cost that sum and is failing to make good.
