Lowell's Baseball Team for 1906
Lowell had a strong baseball team this season, with the exception of the battery, making it necessary to employ outside talent. Hellen, of Kankakee; Miller, Parker and Jewell, of Chicago, occupied the pitcher's box during the season. Hepp, of Lowell, caught a good game until he had his wrist broken by being struck by a ball. He was succeeded by McGill, of Chicago. The team was managed by Ed Yates, who also played with the team. During the season the local team crossed bats with strong teams from Chicago, St. Joseph College, Chalmers, South Chicago, Brooks and Momence. Out of thirteen games played, the local team won ten and lost three, losing one to St. Joseph College and two to Momence, an exceedingly strong team.
