Baseball News Notes From The Giants And Around The League
Fred Tenney rejoined the Giants with a satisfactory offer after a strong season for McGraw. Criger and John I Taylor disputed last year but Criger’s sale to the Browns isn’t seen as proof. Lou has held a long-standing grudge since Cy Young Day, with most Red Sox players aware. Bill Bergen re-signed with Brooklyn, Dowd visited the Red Sox office, and Lord gained ten pounds ready to shed it at Hot Springs. Ed Walsh’s spitball is deemed the toughest to hit by American League batters, while Mattern of the Doves stands out among left-handed spitballers.
