Passing of Doc Wiseman and other baseball notes
The passing of Julius Doc Wiseman marks a historic loss for the Southern League veteran outfielder of the Nashville Volunteers. Oscar Stanage of the Detroit Tigers aims to catch every inning from April to October, while Arthur DeVlen of the New York Giants is set to back up first base and serve as pinch hitter. The Crackers did not want Jack Tonneman, a reputed “bad actor,” and Jim Lavender is impressing with a Cubs tryout. Georgia’s Jim Lavender is likened to a second Russell Ford, boxers face New York’s looming boxing law, and Grice compares American and National League sluggers while weather may decide Breitenstein’s fate as pitcher or umpire.
