Promising Buffalo league batter eyes big shift
The draft notes a rising Buffalo league infielder named Kuds who could replace weak bat O'Rourke. The New York Americans faced a 16 hit, 21 total, yet lost. Marquard is praised as a future great pitcher, slow to debut. Dr. Cook’s Roosevelt era drift reduces notoriety as United States league follows the trend.
