Brooklyn Wins Bidding for RF Mcgovern

BROOKLYN, NY. November 15, 1916 - In the first major free agent signing, Dick Mcgovern finalized an accord with the Titans this morning, agreeing to $176,600 over 2 years.

Though many consider him green, they also see his raw talent and expect a lot out of this young man before his tenure in Brooklyn has run its course.

In his career Mcgovern has hit .288 with 526 hits, 17 home runs, 228 RBIs and scored 270 runs.

McGovern gives the Titans another young player to rely on in the outfield, but one must wonder if Julius Eason or Tuck Clifton, two budding stars, will be traded.
