Boston pays 3000 for O Rourke of Bridgeport club
Bridgeport club president John H. Freeman announced the sale of shortstop Frank O Rourke to the Boston National League club for 3000 dollars. A Boston shortstop will be sent to Bridgeport to replace him, as Bridgeport needs a quick upgrade while Bridwell is out. O Rourke, from Slatington Pennsylvania, impressed New York figures and will join Boston Monday, with Spratt expected to come to Bridgeport. Local fans cheer the move to strengthen the club, which has faced a lean treasury after rain and poor opening day weather.

In Washington thousands of Knights of Columbus and dignitaries including President Taft attended the unveiling of a $100,000 Columbus Memorial at Union Station plaza. A parade, missiles of civic honor, and a 2000-car banquet featured an official program with Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishops in attendance.
