Chicago Loses Gilbert Stiles

CHICAGO, IL. May 5, 1915 - Chicago fans will be disappointed to learn that Gilbert Stiles suffered a sprained ankle while colliding with a player at a base in yesterday's game. After the doctor informed the Chicago Orphans manager that Stiles was expected to miss 5 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the shortstop could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.

This season Stiles is swinging the bat at a .353 pace. He's scored 24 times, while driving in 21. His on-base percentage is .451 and he has played in 30 games.

The Chicago Orphans have worked out terms of a deal to send 23-year-old minor league reliever Edgar Michalski, 22-year-old minor league right fielder Gary Miller and 20-year-old minor league starting pitcher Kerry Shea to Baltimore for 31-year-old starting pitcher Rick Jewett. Both teams expect to introduce their new players at press conferences later in the week.

Sources close to the Blues indicated that a trade has been reached in principle where 33-year-old reliever Josh Stuck will be swapped to Buffalo with 26-year-old minor league right fielder Tim Flaherty heading to Brooklyn. Neither organization would comment on the report, saying it was club policy not to speak about a trade until it was finalized.

This season Stuck has been credited with 4 saves in 25 relief appearances. In 120 innings he has a 11-3 won-lost mark, 1.27 ERA and 74 strikeouts

Looking at his present stats, Edwards has compiled a .330 batting average in 88 games with a .425 on-base percentage, while hitting 1 home run and driving in 37 runs and is known as one of the best players in the league.

Thus far this season in 58 games Upton is batting .302 with 1 home run, 26 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 45 hits in 149 at-bats.

A look at his current stats shows Hardt with a .257 average, no home runs, 16 RBIs and 49 runs scored. He has played in 105 games.

Moore 5-5 Against Philadelphia

CLEVELAND, OH. September 21, 1915 - "It was like I was hitting amateur pitching," said Earl B. Moore after his 5-hit performance against the Keystones. "No offense meant to Philadelphia, but it was like I was back in the park again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Murphy Park."

The Cleveland first baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 10-4 victory.

His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Earl worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."

"That's what I'm trying to do," Moore said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."

Moore singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 7th.

Moore is presently batting .299 with 3 home runs, 49 runs scored and 41 RBIs. His OBP is .352.

But nothing is set in stone. The Nationals have played 142 games, and the Orphans have played 147 games, If the Nationals can continue their 8-game win streak, they'll have no problem clinching the pennant. The two big-name additions to the Nationals have been nothing but extraordinary. Ed Gale, the 24-year-old Boston native, is 7-1 with a 2.08 ERA with the club. Fred Edwards, another young star, is hitting .354 in his 16 games with the club.

JetsIn06 Pro Rookie Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Rahway, NJ	Moore 5-5 Against Philadelphia CLEVELAND, OH. September 21, 1915 - "It was like I was hitting amateur pitching," said Earl B. Moore after his 5-hit performance against the Keystones. "No offense meant to Philadelphia, but it was like I was back in the park again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Murphy Park." The Cleveland first baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 10-4 victory. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Earl worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits." "That's what I'm trying to do," Moore said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it." Moore singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 7th. Moore is presently batting .299 with 3 home runs, 49 runs scored and 41 RBIs. His OBP is .352.
