Back of card reads: Charlie Hall, the powerful right-hander of the Boston Americans, is known as one of the best wrecking crews in baseball. Hall is a wonder as a relief pitcher, and many figure him one of the hardest men in the game to hit. He carries unusual speed with a great break to his curve ball. Hall has not been quite so successful in starting games before this season, but is showing increased steadiness all along. With the Red Sox in 1911 he won 8 games and lost 7. His batting average was .141 and his fielding average .944. [1]
