Manager Bill McKechnie believes Pearson can be convinced of full health, with several AL clubs ready to take him for seven thousand five hundred dollars plus a guaranteed pitching swing. The Brooklyn club is curious but not as a top option. The deal was nearly done in Chicago with waivers expected next week.

Ouimet and Lowery meet at Bel-Air course in Beverly Hills
The piece recalls Francis Ouimet and Eddie Lowery at Brookline in the 1913 U S Open, with Lowery recounting his youth as Ouimet’s caddy and the rainy final round where Ouimet forged a historic triple playoff tie finishing 34 under par.
Young caddie helps Ouimet face British Open stars
Lowery recalls how Ouimet, aided by a 10 year old caddie and a loyal supporter, surprised two famed British Open players. Ouimet asks Eddie to hide a truancy while promising to focus on the ball and win.
Bag of ten clubs marks a legendary golf day
I asked Lowery how many clubs Ouimet carried that day. He said ten, with a brassie and a spoon and no driver. Six irons, a niblick and a putter. Oakley and Vardon could play full and partial shots with the same club, a thrill Eddie says he will never forget as Culmet smiled. They walked out again as partners, recalling the greatest day in American golf.
