Dreyfus and Watkins Debate Pennant Plans in Town
Pittsburg manager Barney Dreyfus and Indianapolis manager Watkins met with a local magnate, discussing next season’s pennant hopes and the National League meeting. They weighed Brush’s success, Sunday baseball quirks at Sharon, and the need for a vigilant manager on the field. Dreyfus praised Brush but noted Cincinnati’s distance approach failed. They predicted a quiet NL meeting with few differences to settle. Watkins seeks a young first baseman, possibly Kihm, to bolster his club.
