JIMMY AUSTIN
"Jimmy Austin, whom the St. Louis Americans got in a trade with the Yankees in February 1911, came to the latter team from Omaha, where he had made a fine record. In 1907 and 1908 he led Western League third basemen with averages of .951 and .942, respectively. In 1908, he stole 97 bases, besides making 25 doubles, 10 triples and five home runs.
His work at third for the Yankees has been very consistent."

BILL BAILEY
"William Bailey, the St. Louis Americans' young pitcher, was born in 1888 and commenced playing professional base ball in Austin, Texas, when only seventeen years old. The youngster's work was so good that he was engaged for 1907, and that year he improved so much that the St. Louis management purchased his services.
He made his debut with the Browns near the end of the 1907 season and got a couple impressive victories over strong teams. In 1909 he batted .286 which was quite an achievement for a pitcher."

DANNY HOFFMAN
"Danny Hoffman, outfielder for the St. Louis Americans, was born in Connecticut and first played professionally for the Waterbury team in 1901. In 1902 his work for the Springfield, Massachusetts, team got him into the majors with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1903 he was only a substitute, but in 1904 as a regular was batting over .300 when he was hit in the eye by a fast pitched ball, and did not fully recover for several seasons.
In 1906 and 1907, he played with the New York Americans, and since then in St. Louis."

FRANK LAPORTE
"Frank LaPorte, the second baseman whom the St. Louis Americans got from the New York Highlanders in February 1911, came into the majors from the Eastern League, where he had been playing second base for the Buffalo team for three years. In his last season with them, 1905, he batted .331, and the New York Americans landed him.
Except a few games with Boston in 1908 he put in the next five years with the Yankees. His batting, beginning with 1906, averages .269, and his hitting was generally done at opportune times."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


BARNEY PELTEY
"Barney Peltey, one of the regular pitchers of the staff of the St. Louis Americans, is a native Missourian. In 1902 he covered first base for the Cairo team, and in 1903 he both pitched and caught for Cedar Rapids. At the end of that season, the Browns got him, and he has since taken his turn in the box with their other twirlers.
He has generally finished up each campaign even up on victories and defeats, or better, and if the efforts of manager Wallace to brace up the Browns succeed, Peltey's record will also improve."

GEORGE STONE
"George Stone, the hard hitting outfielder of the St. Louis Americans, has missed few games since he has been on their pay-roll, except in 1909. In the four years ending in 1908 he played in 611 games.
His aggregate batting average for those four years was .317, and for the six years ending in 1910, .298. In 1910 he got two singles, a double and a triple off pitcher Bender in one game, and on June 2, against the Red Sox, he got five hits in six times up."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205


BOBBY WALLACE
"'Rhody' Wallace, shortstop and manager of the St. Louis Americans, started as pitcher, but being tried at third base when he was with Cleveland, soon showed himself to be a star infielder.
He has been with the St. Louis Browns since 1902, playing mostly at short, but sometimes at third, doing fine work at both. In his new position as manager, he has the confidence and best wishes of all good St. Louis fans."
