SOME TRADES
In BASEBALL
Deals In American League
That May Occur During
Winter
CLUBS ON WATCH
FOR NEW PLAYERS

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Nov that the
winter stove league is in session the
trade talk is in line to be sprung. The
Cincinnati-Philadelphia near-deal was
the opening gun in the campaign and
is forerunner of what is in store
for the balance OF the winter.
This talk interests st. Louisians. in
asmuch as they are in line to furnish
more than half the dope. The Browns
Will be shattered from stem to stern
and when they take the field next
April against the Cardinals their best
friends won't recognize them. Where
the start is to be made and who is to
furnish the elixir is problem only
time will tell.
or course, Wallace will be found
on the team. AS a player, nons can
excel the Scot. Practically. the hal
ance OF the squad is on the market.
Hartzell may possibly be retained as
an outfielder Bailey and Stone will
probably go. while offers for anv of
the pitchers, with the exception of
Lake, would, undoubtedly be consC-
cred
American League players say that
no southpaw in the league has as
much stun as Bailey. Despite the
alleged stuff which he is said to
possess, Bailey was able to land but
three games during the campaign of
1909. II is rumored that BN'ley is a
hard man to handle, is none too care
ful about his condition. and that
Hedges has Just about lost faith in
him. There are several managers
quite sweet on Bailey, particularly
Hughey Jennings. Of the Tigers, and
II would not be at all surprising If the
Texas HEAVIER wore some uniform
other than that of Brown next year.
Art Griggs, pronounced by com
petent critics to be the freest right
hand hitter that has brozen into the
ranks Of the American League since
the days of Joie, is also to be placed
on the baseball market. Griggs and
st. Louis do not seem to agree. and he
is OF but little value to the Browns.
although there is hardly a question
that he would add considerable
strength to several other American
League clubs that are long on left
handlers Stone is also a possibility.
but his bad throwing arm may cause
all the other major league managers
to steer shy of him.
Failure to again land the American
League pennant has evidently inn
pressed upon Hughey Jennings the
TACT that his club must be recon
structed. Jennings has practically
admitted that he feels satisfied with
the form shown by Jay Kirk. the
youngster tried out at second near
the close of the season, and feels con
hdent that he will be able TO flll the
shoes OF jim Delehanty Just as soon
as the latter begins to slip. The
Tiger leader is also after a new first
sacker, which means that Tom Tones
will probably be drawing his salary
check elsewhere in 1911. Charley
/ OLeary and McIntire are two other
men who may be secured n rival man

Comiskey has the makings of a good

McAleer has lines out now for

Boston needs pitchers and both Wash
