Devlin, you say! Four more for the Shrine

In Hoboken, four new inductees were elected to the Shrine of the Eternals, including long-time Washington Olympics stars Jim Britt and George Hall, as well as Boston's 478-game winner Jim Devlin. The Tri Mountain legend was feted by Boston owner William Hulbert, who handed Devlin a fifty-dollar bill. "Jim, that's what I think of you personally," said Hulbert, "You would never sell a game; you are honest and this Baseball Union is better for it!" Also inducted was Ezra Sutton, a key man in Cleveland's seven Cup victories.
