Mason City Braves Lose Lindstrom To White Sox
The Mason City Braves will finish the season without catcher Chuck Lindstrom after he signed a bonus contract with the Chicago White Sox. Lindstrom joined the team last week with pitcher Tom Scheuerman and played his last game Sunday a 9 6 win over Winona highlighted by Art Pennington's bases loaded homer. Dick Notermann is expected to replace Lindstrom, with Gene Steiger also in the mix as catcher. The club faces a seven game skid and attendance concerns while Packer pitching and clutch hitting lag.
