Baseball notes from the baseball world today
Cincinnati businessmen sent $50 by wire to Umpire William Klein to cover a fine issued by NL President Lynch for striking Manager Roger Bresnahan. Keio University’s American tour ends with a 6 to 5 win over US Naval Training Station in San Francisco. Japanese players head to Honolulu for a month of games. Chicago NL club sold pitcher Herbert Juul to Louisville. Juul came from Illinois. Boston reportedly secured Stephen V White, formerly of Princeton, with L C Hartman signing him. White worked out with the Giants in New York. The National Commission refused to order Minneapolis to apply Waddell’s earnings to St Louis’ claim. Waddell’s obligations to his club take precedence. Lou Criger signs to manage Boyne City in Michigan, reporting July 1. Horace Fogel recalls Addie Brennan from Buffalo as too valuable to loan away, and will call him back despite Buffalo’s challenge to recall terms.
