...The Giants yesterday announced the purchase of the contract of Roy Porter of the Indianapolis club of the American Association.
Porter is a first baseman, aged nineteen. He has been playing superbly in Indianapolis, leading his league with a batting mark of .428. Since the first of May, Porter has 34 safe hits in 68 at-bats.
