Let OUR Gene GO
Boston Braves Send COcreham
to International League.
Stallings Had to Dispose of
Surplus Players.

Gene Cocreham, Topeka's contribu-
ton to the worlds champion Boston
Braves, and one of the few Topeka
players who ever participated in a
worlds series pot, is a Brave no
longer.
This weeks issue of the Sporting
News contains a brief paragraph that
reads as follows:
Having taken on Dick Egan and
Pat Ragan, Manager Stallings, of the
Braves, had to unload somewhere to
balance, and he released Pitchers
Luque and Cocreham to Toronto of
the International league
Whether or not these men were re-
leased under an optional agreement
or were cut loose entirely is not stated,
but it is to be supposed that they are
subject to recall.
Cocreham worked in Is games with
the Braves last season, but is given
credit for only one full game. He is
credited with winning three and losing
four of the games he worked in.
Cocreham played with Topeka during
the season of 1913.

it comes from the race at the city pump
