Killifer Disposed Of To Cantillon By Washington Deal
Washington traded infielder Wade Hampton Killifer to Joe Cantillon for a steady job with Minneapolis. Killifer, a minor star, preferred Minneapolis, while Cantillon reportedly offered better salary terms. Jack Dunn sought Killifer for Baltimore but Cantillon won the bidding. Boston’s Pat Donovan failed to reverse the move and will rely on Bradley at first base. Dunn still negotiates with Connie Mack as Baltimore eyes further roster reshuffles including Dygert and Aucins.
