    “I went right from high school to the A’s,” he said proudly. “I was going to boarding school in Barre, Vermont, and playing in the White Mountain League. That was a summer league with teams sponsored by the big resort hotels in New Hampshire and Vermont. Most of the teams were made up of college boys from schools like Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth. They had summer jobs at the hotels.

"I was hitting over .400 while playing for St. Johnsbury," Witt continued. "A scout was following me. One day I got a telegram from Connie Mack asking me to meet him in Boston."

1913-7-15 "Baseball is booming again up at Newport, N.H., where there is another strong team.

It was 10 years ago this summer that Newport had its best nine, however one with Mike Lynch, Harry Pattee, et al, who played 13 games against Lebanon.

Newport's team was strong, but George Whitney's purse was too deep, for, with paying Connie Mack $1000 for the use of Andy Coakley, $150 a week to Wylle Hyatt and fancy figures to Pete Noonan, Van Zant and others, Lebanon naturally came through the winner.

Newport still is a great ball town and has a fine park, but the nine now is run on business principles and not as a 'plunge.' "
