Ferry made his major league debut for the Tigers on May 12, 1904 and had a 6.23 earned run average (ERA) in three games for the Tigers that season. He spent most of 1904 with the Minneapolis Millers where he had a 6-7 win-loss record in 19 games.[2] After being released by Minneapolis, Ferry spent 1905 with the Portland Giants and Montreal Royals before being purchased by the Cleveland Naps. He pitched in one game for them, allowing three runs in two innings before being released shortly after the game.[1]
After one more season in the minor leagues, Ferry became a scout. While scouting for the Tigers' organization, he talked the Milwaukee Brewers into signing Ray Schalk, who eventually made it to the Baseball Hall of Fame.[4] He died in 1938 at the age of 60.
