CHICAGO, IL. June 4, 1916 - The Chicago Orphans of the United League lost one of their top pitchers yesterday when Bryant Laney, a 37-year-old right hander noticed tightness in his right shoulder.
Team physician Dr. Emil Maurer diagnosed the pitcher with rotator cuff inflation and said he's expected to be out for about three months.
This surely doesn't help the Orphans race for the pennant. The Chicago club is currently 4.5 games behind the Washington Grays with a 33-23 record. If all goes well, Laney should be ready to come back in September, the last month of the season.
