JOE IS D|CKER|NC
FOR GOOD MATERIAL

Our Uncle Joe Cohn is reported
to be dickering for the services of
Vincent Borleske on his pitching
staff for next season, and with very
fair prospects of success. Vincent
is some pitcher when he is right,
but insists that if he joins the In
dams there will be no Sunday
games for his.
Despite the fact that he already
has a first class catching string,
Walter McCredie, the high mogul
of the two Portland teams, is re-
ported to be dickering for addi-
tional backstop material. He is
said to be after two more good
youngsters.
