In the fall of 1905 the Washington club
had Sam and Bob Edmondson on the
pay roll, both being pitchers. Through
some misunderstanding Sam was selected
as the good player and Bob was allowed
to go back to Texas. This release by
the Washingtons hurt Bob's reputation
and he was allowed to stay in the minors
all last season unmolested. But this sea-
son he has been cutting quite a swath,
attracting the attention OF several major
league managers, and the Washington
club can consider itself lucky in securing
Bob once more.
