1925-9-25 MLB teams no longer playing exhibitions at Doherty Oval because the Silk Sox played against teams with blacklisted players. John C. O'Reilly, Silk Sox publicity agent, gives the lowdown.

    " 'McGraw refused to play against us, on his own admission, because we had played against Cavanaugh, while a few months later he sends his own players under assumed names to play with Cavanaugh."

Paterson

1944-6-20 Gus Brock obit. Played with the Paterson Superiors, which also produced Bibbs and Frenchy Raymond. 

    The reporter recommended both Brock and Ververs, who were with the Paterson Pennants, to the player-desperate Jersey City Skeeters in 1918.

Brock hit .198 and Ververs was 3-15 - not much worse than team average.
Brock was an entertaining outfielder - knew how not just to catch the ball but to catch it with verve.
