Excerpts

"[Little Rock Manager] Chief Zimmer will spring a surprise on the Barons and the local fans by trying out two new pitchers. They are Brazell and Vance, and were until yesterday members of the Camden team of the Arkansas-Texas League. The Arkansas-Texas league recently succumbed through the dropping out of the Texarkana club. Both Brazzell and Vance are said to be good pitchers. . . . Brazzell and Vace have been playing exhibition games at Hot Springs, and arrived in Little Rock last night from that city."10
