Freeman home run pace continues with Colonels near 500 mark
Friday reports show Freeman homering again as the Colonels close in on the 500 milestone with four more games needed. Washington pitchers Weyhing Magee and catcher Powers, all ex-Colonels, tried to hold the line while Kittredge, Washington’s top catcher, previously with Louisville, also figures in the notes. Brooklyn and St Louis played 86 minutes. Boston was shut out after 13 hits in its opener. Frisk’s misfortune, Bradley replacing Wolverton at Chicago’s third base, Hawley’s form for Cincinnati, and Cotter’s baserunning surge are cited amid a flurry of boxing and local sports notes.
