Benton County Baseball Star Becomes Athletics Prospect
A Philadelphia Public Ledger note by S. O. Grauley touts Edmund Bing Miller of Benton County as a promising first baseman for the Athletics. Miller, a native of Vinton, Iowa, is being groomed for first base, showing improvement in receiving throws and footwork during brief infield cuts. He filled in at first last year when Joe Hauser was ill, impressing Mack and peers, and is viewed as a likely understudy to Hauser with continued daily practice and potential for a full-season role if needed.
