ELBERFELD WANTS TO
PLAY IN WASHINGTON
From the st. Louis Times.

From the st. Louis Times.
Editor Flanner of the Sporting News,
who Is very close to Manager McAleer
of the Browns. had it on his editorial page
In his issue of August / that by the end
of the week Norman Elberfeld, the sus-
pended Yankee, would probably become a
Brownie. and that Hemphill Glade and
Morgan, in all probability would form the
purchase price.
He probably got his tip from the same
source as the sporting editor of the Times
A man in the know issued it, and every pa

Aleer left his charges in Washington and
sped over to New York in the hope of
landing the ''Tabasco Kid"
McAleer, however, has since denied that
he waited on Frank Farrell.
tuesday relative of>Elberfeld received
letter from him. In it Norman said that
he had probably played his last game with
the Yankees: that his contract expired this
! fall: that he would do his own business for
1908, and that the chances were he would
land in Washington.
Elberfeld says he would have made up
with Clark Griffith last Thursday and got
INTO the series with the Browns only that
when they were making up his demand
that the salary he lost while suspended be
PAID him was Spurned.
Elberfeld adds that he wanted to come
to st. Louis, but that Hedges didn't come
across. and that unless he misses his guess

As there appeared to be such a good
chance of Elberfeld becoming a Brownie
there will be general regret among the
fans when they learn that the scrappy

turn. is lost to ST. Louis.
Next to an A No. l southpaw, McAleer
needs a noisy regular more than anything
