MAY GET euMPus BACK.

The national commission has just
promulgated an interesting list. COM
prising the players "farmed" by the
various American league clubs during
the present season, who must either
be bought back by Aug. 20 or else
thrown on the market.
The Detroit club has but two play
ers coming under this category. these
being First Baseman Cockill, OF Will
Transport and Pitcher Sterzer. OF Grand

being set at $1,000. while the latter
comes In at meek and lowly $500.
Both the men will be bought back.
The Detroit club must bid In the
open market for Pitcher WARRIOR, who
leads the Tri-State league. Pitcher
Bumpus Jones OF Montreal. conceded
the best man In the Eastern league.
and any of the other colts whom It
took south during the spring. only TO
let go OF when the season opened.
There Is an excellent chance for the
return Of Jones, however. as the Mon
treal club secured him when sadly In
need OF men and Is bound by obliga-
lions OF a non-formal character This
Is In spite Of the fact that Jones OK
ford friends say he wants chance
with some other club and Is somewhat
sore at his failure TO get more thor
ough trial with the Tigers.
Another interesting phase Of the SIT
uation Is the fact that Detroit no long
er retains claim on Eddie Siever
