Mercer started to play Saturday, but his

and he withdrew. Barry taking his place in
the third, and doing well.
Here's "dopey story from Boston. 1t
says that Second Baseman Quinn and
Third Baseman Cross of the Clevelands are
to replace Childs and Mexican of the St.
Louis. Childs is worth the pair and Nc
kean is only few per cent below Cupid -
pretty trade that would be. 1t is re
ported that Manager Tebeau had a chill
when he read the report.

Cincinnatis or the Bostons and he would
