Stallcup shines for Chiefs in season push and Reds tie
Virgil Stallcup boosted the Syracuse Chiefs with a .319 average over 59 games and may push for second base if he can displace Eddie Miller with the Reds next season. Herman Wehmeier posted an 11-7 mark in the late stretch as Cincinnati rotates arms. Local Crosley Field sellout looms for Brooklyn-Cincinnati, and Roy O Green faced a nine inning cap in a recent National Amateur Federation event.
