Detroit adds Steiger from Jackson Club in Southern Michigan League
Pitcher Steiger of the Jackson Club has been annexed by Detroit. He has won thirty two of forty games. Manager Clarke of Pittsburg plans limited changes this fall and believes his club is among the best in the country. Pitcher Barger of Lancaster, a leading outlaw Tri State League pitcher, joined the New York American Club at Jim McGuire’s urging. Davy Jones shows speed and power in East games with the Detroits, raising questions how the Nationals released him. Ed Walsh of the Chicago Americans has pitched near perfect ball this season, with his success linked to his development of the effective fast ball despite rumors of sailors’ ill treatment in Me and navy harbor visits.
