I remeber reading about that in a Hal Chase book a few years ago but it was kind of passed over and I always wondered exactly what the real story behind it was. With Chase you know it had to be something shady. A botched abortion is probably the right answer unfortunately.
By the way I always enjoyed your blog, your stories are well written and researched and I've been disappointed that you haven't updated it in a while. It's in the top 5 historical baseball blogs that I recommend to people who ask me for blogs to read. I miss checking in and getting another interesting story!
