Alexander/Dooin Crack Batteries notebook

I picked this up last week and am trying to learn more about it. Does anyone have information that they could share?

Use of the term is here, baseball related but not really having to do with this item (maybe, it could be a typo also)

Quote:

When Eddie Ainsmith was traded to Detroit via Boston, Clark Griffith shattered on of the crack batteries…it was Johnson and (Charles “Gabby”) Street

But looking around at other things, it is possible it is a civil war (also seen in some WWI and WWII period contexts) term used in sport. Such as John F Roach and Emmet Rogers, a "Crack battery" of the Los Angeles Angels of 1892.

A mention of a Chief Bender, Ira Thomas version here (but no pic?)

That's about all I can find.
