Baltimore, St. Louis Confirm Trade

BALTIMORE, MD. December 13, 1912 - Both sides appear content with the trade finalized today that will send 21-year-old second baseman Kirk Murphy and 20-year-old left fielder Herbert Beck to the St. Louis Terriers, while the Baltimore Terrapins will receive 37-year-old second baseman Roy Word. "We feel this is a move that filled a big gap in our roster," said Terrapins owner Harry Goldman. For his part, Terriers owner Phil Ball said the trade was made "in the best interest of our organization's future." On paper the trade seems to be a plus for both ball clubs. The players involved are expected to join their new teams for the next scheduled game.

During his career Word has compiled a .315 batting average and collected 178 hits, 3 home runs and 89 RBIs.
