NEWARK, NJ. December 20, 1917 - Happy times in Newark as the Peppers and star third baseman Warley Kephart put the finishing touches on a $131,016 contract extension that will keep the 32-year-old in town 4 years longer.
The signing is great news for Newark because players of this caliber are hard to come by.
In 729 games, Kephart has a career .277 batting average and a .420 on-base percentage. He has hit 12 home runs with 258 RBIs and 311 runs scored in his six UBA seasons. He spent two years with Chicago Orphans, three with St. Louis, and now he'll finally be able to call a place home for a good amount of time in New Jersey.
