New England League Notes on Players and Teams
In the New England League many players receive mixed reviews. ONeal is praised as pitching superbly, while Farrell struggles with errors in each game. Condoff of the Pawtuckets shows solid pitching but the club suffers with Clare in the lineup. Salem’s Smith shines at short, Bacon approves his defense, and Shannon leads in heavy batting, outpacing Cotter. Foreith from Woonsockets may improve after a rough debut, Hale boosts batting and second-base play, Doe contributes as a hitter though uncertain as a pitcher. Cronin leans to strikeouts, while Clymer impresses with strong batting and second-base play. The Lewistons struggle despite talent, Lezotte tries third base, and Hamill of the Pawtuckets stands out as a top outfielder and aggressive baserunner. Manchester’s Barry is praised as catcher but weak at throwing, aiding baserunners. Brockton’s Alien adds Lincoln, a left-handed pitcher who performed well in Cleveland and continues strong for Whittenton.
