Text | [reorganizing the Cincinnati Club] The only position, then, that will not be filled is that of pitcher, and here the Louisvilles kindly come to the front with aid. They are willing to give up their change pitcher, Lafferty, an excellent man in that position, and one who last year made a record second to no pitcher in the East. He was engaged by the Louisvilles to hold Devlin to his work when there were fears that he would be inclined to bull-doze the Club. But The Terror has been doing such good work—not exceeded by any pitcher in the League—that Lafferty has been lying off nearly the whole season. Now the Louisvilles kindly offer to let him come up and pitch for the Cincinnatis until they secure the services of a regular pitcher, and if in the mean time he proves efficient and gives satisfaction they are willing to let him play the remainder of the season out with the club. |
