CHICAGO, IL. July 3, 1914 - There's something about a young rookie winning the Columbia League Player of the Month trophy that sends shock waves through the league. Such is the case with Whitey Upchurch, a 27-year-old starter for the Chicago Whales.
In June, he topped off the month with a 5-1 mark and 2.17 ERA in 7 starts, tossed 54 innings, fanned 38 and held opposing teams to a .199 average.
This year Upchurch has registered 15 wins and 3 losses in 19 starts with a 1.97 ERA while registering 110 strikeouts and 43 walks in 155 innings.
