[edit] Biographical Information

Earl Smith was technically traded for Frank Ellerbe on May 31, 1921, but the deal was actually announced after the St. Louis Browns' game on May 29. Smith traveled with the team from St. Louis to Chicago - and played for the Browns - before heading east with the team after the May 31 game, which is when the trade became official.

Smith managed the Denver Bears (1932), Huntington Boosters (1933), Charleroi Tigers (1935), and Bluefield Blue-Grays (1938). He also umpired in the Middle Atlantic League in 1937.
