White shuts down red hot Superbas

Doc White was the first hurler to hold the Brooklyn club in check in this early part of the season. Phils got a pair of rbi's from 3 different players, giving White a lot of early support. Doc was also helped by his defense, which turned three double plays to end Brooklyn rallies. Phils get over .500 with the win (6-5) and handed the Superbas their first defeat in nine contests.

Doc White went the distance as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the BROOKLYN

SUPERBAS by the score of 8 to 1 at Washington Park.

 

BROOKLYN fell behind quickly as the Philadelphia offense came through in the

first inning when they tallied 3 runs on 3 hits.  That scoring would be all

that was needed.  Philadelphia rapped out 9 hits for the afternoon.  

 

The victory went to White(2-0) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Frank

Kitson(0-1) was charged with the loss.  He gave up 8 runs and 9 hits in 9

innings.

Yerkes shines in season debut

Stan Yerkes, making his first start of the season, dominated the stagnant Athletics offense. Powers 2-run single in the 2nd gave Philly an early lead, but Fraser allowed single tallies in the 5th, 6th and 8th. In the meantime, the offense fell dormant and Yerkes would end up with the CG win.

Pirates sell 24-year old lefty Waddell to Orphans

The Chicago Orphans continued their search for some stable starting pitching by buying Rube Waddell from Pittsburgh. The Pirates seemingly gave up on Waddell rather quickly. He was only 8-13 in 1900, but was 1-1 (with a 2.65 ERA) in two early season starts this year. Waddell is likely to fill the 3rd slot in the Chicago rotation behind Long Tom Hughes and Jack Taylor. Jack Chesbro is expected to fill Waddell's rotation slot for the Pirates.

May 2nd-NL

Brooklyn keeps on winning! McCann almost doubled his pitch count and was heavily fatigued in the 9th. With 2 runners on and 2 out, Brickyard Kennedy came on to pitch to Elmer Flick. He got the pop out to end the game and the Superbas streak is at 8!

The Cleveland Blues have sold pitcher Bock Baker to the Philadelphia Athletics. Baker had made one start for the Cleveland club previously. On April 28th, he allowed 5 earned runs and 10 hits in a losing decision to the White Sox. The Athletics are still looking for a solid 4th pitcher to go with Piatt, Bernhard and Fraser.

May 1st-AL

Piatt crumbled in the 7th, as Ossee Schreckengost (pictured) rapped a 2 run double to put the Athletics away.
