Judge and Bishop Dominate Early 1927 Baseball Scene
The Judge Joseph Ignatius of the Senators and the Bishop Max Frederick of the Athletics begin the 1927 season under different pressures. The Bishop sits on the bench as veteran Eddie Collins joins the lineup, while the Judge, 33, seeks to extend his long run with Washington and possibly challenge Johnson’s club tenure. Both are left handed, Jobe at 5 feet 11 inches, with the Bishop lighter and right handed. FEG Murray notes Tunney and Tilden’s England trip may invite a tax on T’s by Parliament.
