Text	[from the Pittsburgh correspondent] Al Scandrett isn't through smiling yet over the way he captured young Beam. … ...there weren't so many clubs after Beam, but the base ball people of the town brought a terrible pressure to bear on the young man with side whiskers. Al, however, after winning over his father by asserting that Billy Sunday was an Evangelist, and would take good care of his boy, gave his terms and left. The next day he gave it out that he wanted Milbee, of Scottdale, a better man than Beam, and had it printed afar and wide that he had gone to Scottdale for this phenomenon. Beam was in town the next day and attached his John Hancock to the contract. The bluff worked.
