Tim Murnane says: "Tt is amusing to
hear how Barney Dreyfuss is willing to
help out ST. Louis in the way of players. /
remember last year when Pittsburg had
three third basemen and Boston was shy
a man for that position, how Pittsburg ask
ed all kinds of money for a player IT really
had little use for. Frank Robson is the
only magnate ever knew to give away a
first-class player. / don't consider players
sent to New York from Boston and Cincin-
natl as gifts, for the reason that Brush and
Soden were interested in the New York
club financially. Mr.. Robson will have to
hustle and expect no good things In the
way of gifts for St. Louis"
