Former Texas Players and What They Are Doing in the Majors BY EARL V ATEN -
Author of Texas Players in the Big Leagues, Etc.
THE season of 1912 witnessed the final passing from the major league ranks of two I II well known veteran ball players who formerly played in the Texas League Harry Steinfeldt and Norman Elberfeld, the latter known over the country as the Tabasco Kid. While Steinfeldt was a real offspring of the Texas League, Elberfeld's career under the Lone Star was limited to a few months with Dallas in the summer of 1896. Harry was a product of the Fort Worth sand lots and played professionally with Houston Galveston and his home town. The careers of the two were decidedly similar. Both third basemen, both of German descent, both stars or near stars; as actual ball players there was little to choose between them though Steinfeldt's better disposition made him of much more value to a team. He was a member of Chance's pennant winning world's champion Cubs and was one of the main drive wheels of that great baseball machine possessing one of the greatest throwing arms of modern times and in addition being a good batter and fair base runner. Elberfeld also was a high class hitter.
The retirement of Steinfeldt and Elberfeld leaves John Kling now manager of the Boston Nationals the only Texas Leaguer of the decade of the nineties now in high society.
