Danner was playing for an independent team in Rumford, Maine in September 1915 when he was scouted and signed by Harry Davis of the Athletics.[1] After a brief trial in the majors, Connie Mack attempted to farm him out to a minor league club in Michigan for the 1916 season but, due to illness in his family, he chose to return to New England where he played for amateur teams.[2]
