Major off-season changes...
The press says that Brooklyn has had the second best upgrades in either league... behind the Pirates. Sigh. Notable Additions: Ham Iburg (Trade with BSN) Fred Jacklitsch (Trade with DET) Billy Hamilton (Trade with BSN) John Terry (Trade with WASH) Candy LaChance (Trade with WASH) Charlie Shields (Trade with CHN) Notable Losses: Gene Wright (Trade with BSN) Joe Kelley (Trade with DET) Sam Mertes (Trade with BSN) Rube Vickers (Trade with BSN) Frank Morrissey (Trade with CHN)

It took 11 innings but the Beaneaters eked out a win over the Superbas courtesy of a Shad Barry inside-the-park home run.
John Terry pitched a very nice game in relief, going 3 inning without giving up a hit and walking one. WP - Dan Adkins (1-0) Save - Bill Dinneen (1) LP - Dick Scott (0-1) Spring Record - 0-2

A much better game... but still a loss. Brooklyn fell to the Beaneaters 2-1. Both Ham Iburg and Bill Coughlin left the game with injury. Iburg's doesn't seem serious. We are waiting for word on Coughlin. WP - Rube Vickers (1-1) Save - Enrique Leal (1) LP - Dick Scott (0-2) Spring Record - 1-8

Bill Coughlin tore a ligament in his thumb and will miss the next three weeks of spring training.
It is also cut time. Coughlin goes to the D.L. Sent to minor league camp: Mauro Garza Pat Clinch Zak Wade Pop Foster Obviously that last one is a bit of a surprise. We'll see how this plays out.
