PETE CASSIDY
GETS his RELEASE
Schmidt TO Play First Base
For the Baltimore
Team

BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. 6.-Pete
Cassidy Is no longer an Oriole. The big
first baseman was served with an un-
conditional release last night by Man
ager Dunn. Though Dunn had been
seriously considering letting Cassidy
so. he did not reach a decision until
yesterday morning when Cassidy called
him up over the phone and informed
him that he would be unable TO play
in the second game of the double-
header with Rocohster as he was not
feeling well.
Dunn in no happy mood. because of
the way things have been breaking
for the orioles. determined TO dis
pose of Cassidy and play Charlie
Schmidt at FIRST base. As Schmidt has
failed to display the form in tho box
that was expected Of him this season,
Dunn believes he will make a good
player with first base as his right
position. Before he broke in to pitch
ing. Schmidt played the corner with
the Evergreen Lawn team. Whatever
chance Cassidy had Of remaining with
the Birds was spoiled by Schmidts
great work yesterday for he not only
nelded In a spectacular manner, but
he made six hits out of eight times at
bat in the two games.
Dunn feels confident that Schmidt
will be the goods at first base and he
will continue to play him there. Cas-
sidy has bene disappointment to
Dunn since the season opened. He hit
well. but his fielding was far from
being up to expectations. Cassidy be-
came a member of the local team about
the middle Of last season. lie was Sc
cured from the Wilmington Club, OF
the Tristate League in exchange for
Fred Hunter. Cassidy played 6S games
and hit at .2SS. His playing helped to
win the pennant. This season, how
ever, he did not show the ginger of
last season and it was hinted that he
was dissatisfied here.
The release of Cassidy is one OF the
first steps toward making some changes
iu the Orioles, for the MANAGEMENT
realizes that unless something is done
to put the Birds up in the race a lot
of money will be lost. The manage
ment also realizes that the baseball
public is dissatisfied with the position
the Birds now occupy in the standing.
