Rohe and Demont Star Infield Prospects For Baltimore
Cavaliers report that Rohe, a versatile infield star born March 26, 1874 in St. Paul, Minnesota, and later a Baltimore and Brooklyn veteran, is eager to play for McGraw in Baltimore. Demont, rising from minor leagues to majors, is hailed as a fast fielder and powerful batsman who helped Fleischmann, with a 60 game schedule, win 56 times. The piece notes Green’s union loyalty, a failed saloon venture in Camden, and hints at National League methods in obstructing American League park placements, reflecting Camden influences and early 1900s baseball politics.
