April Highlights
April 12: Detroit picked up righthander Tom Sayre off waivers from Baltimore. Sayre was 0-3 with a 6.94 ERA in nine relief appearances last season.
April 14: Buffalo righthander Art Smith left his start at Baltimore in the third inning with a sore shoulder and has landed on the disabled list. Smith was 19-12 for the Blues last season.
April 16: Earl Moore was solid in his first start of the season, holding St. Louis to just two hits in Cleveland’s 7-0 win at Sportsman’s Park. Moore walked one and fanned three. New York activated righthander Jack Chesbro from the DL. Chesbro had been sidelined since last September with a back injury after going 21-9 with a 2.07 ERA in 34 starts. Washington claimed righthander Frank Oberlin off waivers from Detroit. Oberlin was signed by the Tigers in the offseason as an amateur free agent.
April 18: The Senators continued to work the waiver wire, this time landing catcher John Warner from New York. Warner was signed by the Highlanders as a free agent in the offseason after he hit .255 in 41 games with the National League’s St. Louis club last year.
April 21: Red Kleinow’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth made a winner of Clark Griffith and the Highlanders at Hilltop Park, 1-0 over Washington. Griffith struck out six and walked one, allowing just two hits.
April 22: Philadelphia claimed catcher Ira Thomas off waivers from the Senators. Thomas was signed as an amateur free agent by Washington over the winter.
April 24: Detroit rookie Glenn Liebhardt had a debut to remember, shutting down Washington on one-hit in the Tigers’ 5-3 win at Bennett Park. Liebhardt walked one and struck out three. The news was not as good for Cleveland righthander Earl Moore, who suffered his first loss of the season in a 7-0 shellacking against Chicago. Moore left in the ninth inning with soreness in his arm and was placed on the DL. Moore is 2-1 with a 2.73 ERA in three starts this year. The Highlanders activated OF Patsy Dougherty from the DL. He pulled a muscle in his leg in spring training.
April 27: St. Louis lefthander Noodles Hahn will be out for at least a month after leaving his start against the White Sox with a very sore arm. Hahn is 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA in four starts for the Browns after Cincinnati released him in the offseason. Washington activated lefthander Beany Jacobson from the DL after he had been out since early in spring training with a sore elbow.
April 29: Buffalo activated righthander Art Smith from the DL. New Orleans placed righthander Greg Copley on the DL after he suffered broken ribs in an altercation at a New Orleans establishment.
