DOCTOR MERLE T. ADKINS

"'Doc' Adkins, one of the leading pitchers of the Baltimore Eastern League team, has been connected with them since 1903. In the seven years ending in 1910, he has been responsible for 229 games, of which he has won 138 and lost 91. In the same period he has struck out nearly 800 men, giving only half that number their base on balls. The records also show that 'Addie' is adept at keeping hits scattered, as the number of runs scored by opponents is small in proportation to hit made.

His work during the season of 1911 has helped keep Baltimore in the race."

JOHN DUNN

"Jack Dunn, manager of the Baltimore team, champions of the Eastern League from 1908 up to August 1, 1911, had brought them close to the front. He has had experience with several pennant winning teams, having been one of the Brooklyns in 1899 and one of the Giants in 1904.

In 1903 he was second baseman and manager of the Providence when they won the Eastern League race. During his career he has pitched and played the infield and outfield, and batted over .300 more than once. In 13 games to July 15 his batting average was .355."

JIMMY DYGERT

"Jimmy Dygert, the light-weight spit ball artist whom the Athletics let go to Baltimore in March 1911, was originally signed by Connie Mack in 1904 after he had done a successful season's work for the Poughkeepsie club of the Hudson River League.

He was farmed out to New Orleans for 1905 after winning 18 games out of 22. In 1907 he was at the head of the Athletic twirlers and third among the pitchers of the league with 20 wins out of 29 games."

FREDDY PARENT

"Freddy Parent, the utility infielder whom the Chicago Americans released to Baltimore in May 1911, played at short during most of his connection with the White Sox, but in 1909 played 37 games in the outfield without an error, and in 1910 played nearly all his games in the outfield.

He came to Chicago from the Boston Americans with a fine record for his playing at short and in the outfield. In 1903 and 1904 when Bostons won the American League pennant, he batted .304 and .296."
