Browns Send Four Players to Locals in Shift
Dick Jemison reports the St. Louis Browns have transferred four players to Manager Bill Smith. Catchers Bill Rumler and Joe Jenkins, plus infielder Timeon Bowden, join the Crackers as part of a working agreement. Bowden, a Georgia alum, hit .315 last season with Macon. Rumler and Jenkins have minor league pedigrees and strong catching reputations. Browns may add two more players, likely infielders, after Rickey returns from Chicago. Miller and Bowden prime targets, with Miller showing high promise at Lowell. If successful, Crackers’ infield could be among their best ever, pending Wallie Smith case outcome.
