Biographical Information[edit]

Catcher Con Harlow played in the minor leagues for 15 seasons, from the late 1800s to the 1910s.

He managed the Houston Buffaloes in 1906, leading them to a first place finish. He managed the Newton Railroaders for part of the 1909 season. In 1910, he managed the Tulsa Oilers for the latter part of the season, taking the reigns from Gus Weyhing. In 1911, he managed Helena of the Northeast Arkansas League for the latter part of the season, taking over for Charley Reese.
