Danny Green Is Ill at Chicago
View transcription
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Friends and admirers of Danny Green, for years an idol at the West and South Side ball parks, will be grieved to learn that he is confined in the Cook county infirmary at Oak Forest and that hope of his getting better has been given up. Tuberculosis is Danny's complaint. He has been ill for two years, but it was not until a month ago that he gave up and yielded to his friends' pleading that he go to a hospital.
Green first won a place in the hearts of Chicagoans by his work as an out-fielder on the West Side team when Bill Lange, Dahlen, Callahan and Griffith were members of the club. He was fast on his feet and a dangerous hitter. When the baseball was started Danny jumped from the West to the South Side and took a regular job in the White Sox outfield. Later he went to Milwaukee and when his league days were over played on semi-pro teams here.
