With Minneapolis, Giants Last Season. Jack Conway, 29-year-old infielder who rode .the bench most of last season with the New York Giants, has been purchased by the Indianapolis Baseball Club, according to Ted Sullivan, Tribe secretary.’ It was a cash deal between Tribe President Ownie Bush and Carl Hubbell, general manager of the Giants’ farm system. The sum wasn't disclosed. Conway finished the tailend of last season with Minneapolis in the American Association, hitting 315 in 37 games. He scored 28 runs and had 48 hits including 10 two-baggers, three triples and five home runs.
