Coach Coughlin of the Easton outfit will most probably call upon Murberg to battle the Crimson willow-wielders this afternoon, and judging from his record he should be able to turn in a good account of himself.

...Prior '29, hard-hitting first sacker, is showing the way to his teammates in individual performances with the willow, having collected a .419 average to date. Numerically he is preceded by J. D.

A thriving broker, with offices on Wall Street where the New York Stock Exchange now stands. In those days (the '80s) the sign above the door said Zimmermann & Forshay. But David F. S. Forshay died in 1895 and Leopold Zimmermann went on alone. A rich and feverishly busy potentate, with his offices...
