Local baseball fans seek Downey in Cincinnati action
Frayne notes most semi pro teams suspend games to watch Tommy Downey play for the Cincinnati Nationals against Bridgeport tomorrow at Steaceneee. Downey, a rising star who began on East Side lots, rose through St. Joseph's and Rourke, then Tri State, Birmingham, and the Southern league before joining the Reds. Despite an early benching, an injury to Egan gave him a chance, and Griffith says the Reds have seen a 50 percent improvement with Downey at short. Downey expects to be ready after a recent sprain.
