Fall River Wins New England League Pennant Again
The Fall River club clinched the New England League pennant for the third straight year in a dominant season. Pitchers Lincoln Stevens and Klobedanz powered the staff. Stevens joined midseason but delivered crucial wins. Klobedanz led batting, Rollins starred behind the plate, and Kennedy's reliable fielding kept the infield steady. Gordon Harrington and Rupert contributed across positions as the team cruised to the title. The season hints at an Eastern League club possibly arriving in the city next year.
