BIRDIE CREE HITTING HARD

Diminutive Outfielder Is Banging Ball at Good Rate With International — League Team.

Birdie Cree, formerly of the New York Americans, is now playing with the Baltimore team in the International league. Birdie fell off in his hitting while with the Yankees and was let out to the minor leagues. Cree

was always regarded as one of the leading batsmen in the American league, but his work with the stick last year was a big disappointment to Manager Chance. Cree is banging the ball at a good rate in the International.
