Orphans Star 3B Eberle Out for Season

CHICAGO, IL. June 17, 1913 - The Chicago Orphans were dealt a severe blow when Will Eberle was hurt running the bases recently in a game against the New York Gothams. After the game, the team physician reported Eberle might have to spend a lengthy time on the disabled list. Today doctors confirmed it, ruling the 33-year-old third baseman out for the rest of the season with a torn back muscle. They indicated it would take Eberle at least 5 months to heal.

This season Eberle has hit at a .314 clip with 26 RBIs, 1 home runs and 34 runs scored. He has played in 62 games. The Orphans club sat atop the United League standings at the start of June, but have since struggled a bit, falling back to 3rd place behind the Boston Americans (37-28) and the Philadelphia Keystones (35-39).
