Work of Carl Crandall Opens Eyes of Coast Scribes.

Karl Crandall, a Goodland, Ind., boy who is secondbasing for the Salt Lake Bees in the Pacific coast league, has caused the coast scribes to sit up and take notice. His work has been one of the features of the Bees’ play and is one of the leading factors in the team being in the pennant hunt. When Karl was sold to Salt Lake this spring by the Indianapolis management, the owner of the Salt- Lake club was given a big laugh, for ’twas whispered about that Sir Karl had a wrecked throwing arm. Karl has been used in several positions by the Salt Lake club this season and has given entire satisfaction in all of them. His hitting has been a revelation and there is but small doubt that he has several seasons of good play left in him. A. D. Blatz, in the Salt Lake Herald, attributes the phenomenal rise of the Utah club to be due to the work of the Newton county boy.
