Newspapers in New York and St. Louis reported that the Highlanders have reached a deal sending 29-year old left fielder Ed Hahn to the Cardinals for 30-year old third baseman Jimmy Burke.

Burke has chalked up a career batting average of .249 with 378 hits, 0 homers and 157 RBIs.

The New York Highlanders will have to make do without Kid Elberfeld for 2-3 months. He suffered a fractured ankle while colliding with a player at a base in the game today against the Philadelphia Athletics. His teammates, understandably, were upset about losing the shortstop. "That's a tough break for him," one of them said. "But this team is resilient. We will just fill in until he gets back." Elberfeld will miss 2-3 months.
