Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 107, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1909 — Pitcher Whiting of Brook a Recruit Not An Import. [ARTICLE]

Pitcher Whiting of Brook a Recruit Not An Import.

The Rensselaer Republican says that the Brook pitcher was a 3-1 Import. Not much, please correct that statement. Jesse Whiting was born and raised in Brook, and up to this summer was never out of the town longer than a few days at a time.— Brook Reporter. The Republican said that Whiting was a Three-I recruit, not an import, which makes a lot of difference. We know that Whiting is a native Brookite, and that he is one of the beetyoung pitchers that ever sent a ball across a diamond in northwestern Indiana. The writer of the ball report understood that the Terre Haute Three-I team had recruited him and hence use of the word “recruit” If Whiting don’t get out and make himself known in the baseball world, our baseball prophet misses his guess. You can wear no better than Collegian suits and overcoats, as nobody can duplicate the style, fit and quality for the price.
