Peculiar Outfield Iceing Highlights New York Series
In the New York series a striking display of outfield positioning by Walter Elberfeld and teammates drew attention. Elberfeld’s patrol of right field created large gaps, and several Texas Leaguers went unrewarded as Gardner and others chased fly balls near the wall. The idle day in the East features the Powers family benefit game with Connie Mack granting June 30 as a charity date. Philadelphia hosts material from three American League clubs, with Boston and New York contributing, along with Nationals players, for a day of exhibition and fund raising.
