Duke Sends Pitcher Birch to Gothams for Young CF

BROOKLYN, NY. November 4, 1915 - Brooklyn owner Gus Duke made his first move yesterday when he sent 33-year-old starting pitcher Perry Birch to the New York Gothams for 40-year-old pitcher Jim Cornell and 21-year-old center fielder Pierre Fisk.

Birch pitched very well and posted a 2.82 ERA, but because of his poor team he went 13-21. Fisk, a rookie last season, hit .287, hit 12 doubles and stole 14 bases.
