Tabasco Kid's Plaque Assured
Chattanooga --AP— Friends and admirers of Norman Elberfeld, the "Tobasco Kid" of baseball for more than three decades who died here January 13, have contributed $331 for a memorial plaque for the former major league player and Southern Association manager.
Buss Walker, baseball writer for the Times who advanced the idea of the fund ten days ago, said the amount was more than enough to pay for a plaque to be installed in the Chattanooga baseball stadium. Contributions came from baseball fans all over the country, he said. and although he has announced the "close of the campaign," the money still is coming in.
