1926-8-19 Roy Sherid pic. It was June 5, and Schaub needed a pitcher for a non-league game; got Bariess to come, but was also recommended Sherid by former local player "Reds" Harris. Bariess didn't show up, but Sherid did. Now, Sherid had thrown a 14K game the day before, but Sherid said he'd had a soft game last night and hadn't had to work hard. Sherid won 6-1, and became a regular member of the staff. Before he left to pitch for Ralph Chester's Ocean City club he won 8 and lost 1. Signed by the Yankees.
Interstate League
1927
1927-6-19 (Philadelphia) The league is the newest local semi-pro league. "George P. Cartwright, who heads this semi-pro organization, has been the president of many leagues since the days of the old Philadelphia Baseball Association."
Joe Milestone's Harrowgate team, Harry Passon's Philadelphia Elks, and Corley C.C. are the Philadelphia teams. Pottstown, Trenton, and Camden are the other three teams.
The Elks are in their first season, while Harrowgate has only played independently prior to this year.
Corley also plays in the South Philadelphia League.
Some players listed. Howard Lohr will manage Harrowgate.
"Down in South Philadelphia, Muggy Meagher will attempt to guide the Corley nine to the proud pinnacle once occupied by the old South Phillies who cavorted in Shetzline park in bygone years."
All the teams have their own parks and they're fine ones too, the equal of many minor league parks. Listed. "The Corley grounds are the pride of the downtown district, being much larger than the old Shetzline Park."
