Bentley Plays One Position In Balancing Act
Chicago reports on Jack Bentley, a modest star valued around £72,000, who never fully specialized. He reflects on playing first base for Baltimore, pitching concurrently, and learning to fit both roles without becoming exceptional at either. He predicts future NL star power as pitcher and hitter, while considering retirement to focus on his Cincinnati auto business. Rube Benton contemplates quitting baseball to pursue business, hoping someone can beat the Giants for the pennant.
