Washington and Boston Rival Signings and Park Expansions
Two contracts were added to Mr. Griffiths collection, veteran catcher Eddie Aingmith and recruit pitcher Drohan, with Aingmith moving to San Antonio and Drohan postmarked from Kewanee Illinois. Drohan, a strong prospect from New England, starred in the Central Association with a .282 batting average and versatility in the outfield. Paul Musser was sold to Atlanta after spending 1912 in Los Angeles, with minor league options and potential repurchase by Washington in the fall. Jim McAleer, ex-manager of Washington, announced 46,000 seats at two bits each would be added to Boston park amid fan backlash over prior cutbacks and ongoing municipal friction with Mayor Fitzgerald over stadium seating.
