Baseball Roundup Notes on Players and LeagueMoves
Cantillon appears to have landed a likely hitter in Mr Lelivelt. The Macon franchise is taken by South Atlantic league officials with Bergen of Brooklyn praised as the tidiest performer among four files. The Athletics seem weak on paper yet strong on the diamond as new players emerge. Many captains have been cut from the game this season due to accidents or illness, including Chance Lajoie Keeler Gessler Lumley Bresnahan. Red Murray has filled Donlin's shoes, though Donlin would have strengthened the team. Clark Griffith laments Hans Lobert's absence. Bjorke is a substitute for Abstein but less dangerous with the bat. Jimmy Barrett, formerly of Detroit and Boston, shows excel lence infield for Ford, farmed out to the city and later tabbed by Stallings. Gore McConnell will go to the Sox.
