Baseball Notes Highlights from League Buzz and Moves
Three Cincinnati cast-offs Elmer Smith John Corkhill and Hilly Earle star for the Pittsburgs while Baltimore eyes Stricker or Crooks. Canavan shines at second as Pfeffer fades from Chicago memory. Joe Quinn plays superbly with strong defense and hitting. McCauley seeks a club, address via office. Cleveland's unit led by O Connor and Tebeau, Reilly weighing a return to the field.
