In 1886, Santry played minor league baseball for Oshkosh in the Northwestern League and the Memphis Grays of the Southern Association.[3] He was also a "player of note in Chicago semi-professional circles."[4]
Later years
Santry died in March 1899 in Chicago.[4]
Santry should not be confused with Eddie Santry, a fellow Chicago native who held the featherweight boxing championship from 1899 to 1900.
