Baltimore Baseball Club Sold to Andrew Freedman
Baltimore July 16. John J. McGraw, acting for Andrew Freedman and possibly the National League, secured a controlling interest in the Baltimore baseball club. Shares of the stock held by John J. Mahon were transferred to Joseph C. France, with former owners Robinson, Mahon, Kelly, and Rev. John C. Boland among those involved. Six Baltimore players were released after today’s game, four pitchers and two infielders left for New York and Cincinnati, while manager Pabst faced player tensions. Krug’s sulking and Leidy’s anger sparked substitutions and crowd discontent, with Wilson delivering solid work in a tough loss for Atlanta and Shreveport’s Bennett praised as a top infielder in the Southern League.
