Dick Wallace

Richard Felix Wallace (July 22, 1882 – July 19, 1925) was an American professional baseball shortstop and manager in the Negro leagues. He played from 1903 to 1924 with several teams, including the Lincoln Giants and the St. Louis Giants. He was Captain of the St. Louis Giants in 1912.

A court battle split the Leland Giants in 1910. Harris went to the Chicago Giants and played there in 1910.

Wallace continued to manage the St. Louis Giants until the end of the 1921 season.

He died July 19, 1925, at 42 years old in Owensboro, KY.
