President Boyer names Danny Rhea umpire in South Atlantic League
President Boyer appoints Danny Rhea as an umpire in the South Atlantic League on Thursday. He umpired Friday and was released Saturday not for unsatisfactory performance but because umpire Brady reported for duty. Whitey Morse remains active for the Dobbers despite ankle worries as Nashville contends with current standings. The South Atlantic League shows movement with pitchers changing hands as Atlanta buys Viebahn and Fonzie, Savidee, and Schwenck move among clubs. The Finnites face a road series, while Mique fights for second as leaders push for first, with three potential doubleheaders and a late-season push toward Ponce de Leon before year end 1907.
