would be transferred to the Collins

does not please Boston fans.
To transfer a pitcher who won twenty
one games last season and lost only
seven, as Hughes did, seems to them
bad policy.
That every effort will be made TO
strengthen the Invaders to the detri-
ment OF the other seven clubs Is con-
sidered certain. Tannehin is a good
pitcher, but few look TO see him equal
Hughes record.
That the American League is run on
a mutual admiration society basis has
been evident for a long time. and
Hughes transfer is considered simply
another step to make the New York
team a money maker.
Hughes record last season was excel
lent. Tannehill's acquisition, however,
gives Jimmy Collins a good Ieft-hande
pitcher, and since the Collins team be-
gan TO play a left-handed pitcher has
been badly needed.
