Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 209, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 September 1914 — Almeida Is Missed. [ARTICLE]

Almeida Is Missed.

Several of the Cincinnati players wish that the club had kept Rafael Almeida. The quiet, amiable Portu-guese-Cuban was a soothing, not a disturbing Influence, and how he could slay that ball when called on in a pinch! He could play the outfield, too, and the boys think that in two Weeks’ time, played regularly, he could fully replace Marsans. It was one of the great errors of 1913 when Almeida was sent away, and he’d be extremely useful now.
