SOUTHPAW BRESSLER IS FUTURE STAR Eddie Collins Picks Out the Good Points in Former Harris burg Pitcher Kddie Collins, the $50,000 infielder, picks "Rube" Dressier, the former Harris burg southpaw twlrler as a fu ture star. Bressier was with Harris burg in 1913. Manager George Cockill saw the possibilities In the Lock Haven boy and tipped off Connie Mack.

Weldon Wyckoff is another prize pitcher, and nobody can make me believe that the Ath letics won't be in the pennant running next season the same as they always are. It's still a powerful machine." Raymond ("Rube") Bressler, the youthful lefthander of the Athletics' pitching corps, is only 20 years old. He was born in Jefferson county, three miles sourn of Brookville (Pa!) In the year 1894, and his family moved to Fleming-ton in 1903, where he has resided ever since. He first started to play ball with the Flemington Athletics, which sin gularly enough were named In honor of Connie Mack's Athletics. H. R. Callahan was Bressler's manager at the time and started out as a pitcher just as he is to-day. Bressler attend ed the Central State rformal School of Lock Haven and, of course, played with the team representing that school. From there he went to Avis, Lycom ing county, but later returned to Lock Haven Normal.
