THE 1914 "MIRACLE" BRAVES
August 16, 1914
... No game scheduled ...
The Braves arrived in Cincinnati and will tackle the Reds in a
doubleheader tomorrow. Dick Rudolph will probably be sent to pitch in the
first game and Paul Strand is the most likely selection for the second
game. The Braves do not appear unduly elated over their series sweep in
New York. They do get considerable satisfaction out of the fact that their
team is the only one has tackled the Giants, while occupying second-place
and held onto that position. Manager Stallings
has received many telegrams from Boston and other sections of the country,
congratulating him in his team on the fine showing in New York. Several the
Boston fans assured him of a warm welcome when the team returned home.
Stallings has decided to recall Adolph Luque, the
Cuban pitcher, who is playing well for the Jersey City club of the International
League. Bill Martin, the young college infielder, who was sent to his home in
Washington the rest of his leg, which was injured in the Georgetown Princeton
game last June, will join the club in Philadelphia when it returns from its
Western trip. The Somerville boy, Donahue, a catcher, who is been practicing
with the team at the South End Grounds, did not come with the club. Manager
Stallings has wished to sign him, but he is still a student at the Washington &
Lee University, and does not wish to join the team until he is finished his
studies, preserving his amateur status. Walt Tragessor, a catcher, now with
Birmingham Barons of the Southern league, while also be recalled. |
