Trade Crandall for Larry McLean Shakes Up Giants Pitching
Johnny McGraw, manager of the York Giants, pushes a swap sending Larry McLean from the Cardinals to the Giants in exchange for Doc Crandall. Crandall, a veteran who joined from Cedar Beryl of the Three-I league, strengthens New York behind the plate while McLean, once a tough Cincinnati catcher, adds depth in the lineup despite handling difficulties. The move aims to bolster the Giants for a potential World Series bid as they ride a Western trip that opened with a 7–0 loss to St Louis.
