Leach Deal Stalls Amid Managerial Talks and Fielding Notes
The Leach deal stalls with Cincinnati wavering over Leach as manager and outfielder, while Ganzel remains a factor. The piece notes Leach would strengthen the club by about 25 percent and cites Spalding Baseball Records on Cincinnati fielding leaders through 1905, including Peitz Vaughn Sullivan Corcoran Corbin and Smith. It also recounts a Chicago tale of Charley Comiskey narrowly evading a police stop on Michigan Avenue.
