Baseball Notes on Hand Injuries and Team Updates
Al Orth, with a hand split and stitches, has returned to Lynchburg and may not rejoin the Highlanders until healed. Monte Cross of the Athletics broke a small hand bone and will miss a few weeks, with Knight filling in. Manager Griffith is vindicated for backing Chase, a tall Californian recruit improving with team familiarity. Father Chadwick, eighty two, still writes sports with evident enthusiasm. Harvard's game with Trinity at National Park next Saturday is canceled. The Trinity club objects to Harvard's mulatto shortstop Matthews. The Nationals face a revamped lineup as they rebuild with new players expected to grow into contributors. Patten Cassidy and Stahl are noted as returning, with the trip valued at about $25 000 in potential sales.
