Mordecai Brown Passes On.

After playing eleven years in the National league and two in the Federal Mordecai Brown, the once famous three fingered pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, has been released unconditionally by Charles H. Weeghman, president of the Chicago club. Brown was released three years ago by Charles W. Murphy, then ’owner of the Cubs. Tinker, then the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, secured him. Brown jumped to the Feds with Tinker and managed the St. Louis club for a short period, when he was again signed by Tinker to play with the Chicago Feds.
