READING, PA. May 29, 1916 - Reading fans will be disappointed to learn that Snooks Mckay developed a torn back muscle while running the bases in today's game. After the doctor informed the Reds manager that Mckay was expected to miss 8 months, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the right fielder could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
Mckay is hitting .332 so far this season with 28 RBIs and 30 runs scored. He has 67 hits including 1 home run, 10 walks and .361 OBP.
The Reds are 29-21 and four games out of first place behind the Washington Grays. Loosing Mckay will make it tough to catch up.
