Baseball Notes and Player Movement Rumors
Detroit amateur Bert Lerchen has left for home and will not join the Red Sox until Donovan's team reaches the city. Catcher DeVoight may join the Red Sox next summer, secured by John I Taylor's team. Eddie Dygert’s strong pitching for the Athletics hints at a regular role to end the season. A start to the world series may spark a debate with Charley Murphy pressing for games to the 15th. Ban Johnson’s stance could ease tensions. Red Corridon resembles Jake Beckley in fielding range. McGuire’s rotation shows many tall pitchers. No Athletics hurler yet has 30 wins. Coombs nears the mark with 27. Dick Egan might be out at first base for the Reds due to a fractured rib.
