Toronto pitcher Lore Bader leaves team over shine ball claims
Lore Bader, Toronto hurler, reportedly quit the International league club after Rochester manager George Stallings alleged proof of Bader's shine ball delivery and vowed to protest any game against the Colts. Stallings says he has several balls from recent games showing the alleged doctored pitches. Bader reportedly joined an independent team near Boston. John Corway Toole acknowledged questions about Bader's delivery but said no formal protest had been filed. No substantiated charges have established that the shine ball is legal or used in multiple instances.
