Willie Sudhoff Declared Free Agent By Commission
Pitcher William Sudhoff who was released in 1906 to Kansas City and moved in 1907 to Louisville but did not play for either club has been made a free agent by the national baseball commission.

Criss Cradled To Pitcher Role In Unlikely Moment
Dode Criss earned a major league pitching slot in a quirky spring 1907 event. Used at shortstop in an exhibition, a sharp curve to first base impressed Joey Sugden and prompted Criss to try pitching. He then shut out hitters for three innings, proving his skill and earning a regular spot on the St. Paul Saints before joining the St. Louis Browns. Criss, a quiet, confident worker, later joined the Browns on their first trip, pitching in an inning against Chicago.

Chance Prefers Teamwork Over Individual Power in Cubs
Frank Chance, leader of the Chicago Cubs, says he does not want heavy hitters to win pennants. He argues batting must be tempered to fit team play, with players sacrificing pure power to execute hit and run and other tactics. The Cubs, champions in prior years, continue a team-focused approach as they face inconsistent batting yet aim for more titles. Washington pursues Patten on waiver, but the pitcher remains unsigned after a poor season and waning health.
