Special Dispatch to The Star.
1T. LOUIS. Mo August Each time
the teams of Jim McAleer and JACK
O'Connor have c!ashed this season there
has been talk that the rival managers
might swap players Their meeting this
time is no exception.
The Browns manager admits that Jim
my is flirting with couple Of local play
ers They are Pitcher Bill Bailey and
Outtielder Arthur GrigSs. McAleer,
though. has offered cash and a big bum
die, but O'Connor won't consider that
kind of deal He wants players. and
if McAleer would consent to loosen up
with Elberfeld or COnroy its pretty nearly
certain that some swap will result.
O'Connor needs an intielder. COnroy
OF EIberfeld would fit in nicely at sec
ond base, and he would not be bit hes
itating about turning Griggs and Bailey
loose if he landed the player or players
named. Bailey and Grisss both are serv-
iceable players, but would probably pros
per more elsewhere than in st. Louis
With Milan on the disabled list now, and
with McAleer UP against il for outtieid-
ers. il seems that chance for swap
is brighter than ever before this season.
Although Dixie Walker lost the opener
10 the Browns yesterday. > to =, he
showed Manager McAleer that he is
about ready to take his regular turn in
the box. 1T was Walkers first appear
ance since the Taftvile team last showed
in ST. Louis. He went along nicely for
five innings. but awaited in the sixth, and
Doc Reisiing was sent TO his rescue. The
game also marked the temperance of
George Edward Waddel as Brownie
IN good standing.
The rube has been on the SUSPENDED
list for six weeks. \ one-hundred-a nd
hftt-dOllar fine for peace disturbance
also hangs over his head. He's on parole
and has to report to Judge Pollard
every morning. AS soon as RUDE slips
q certainty that he will be sent to the
workhouse.
RUDE isn't the most popular person here
any more. even among base ball fans. A
bunch caShed money here yesterday bet
ting that George Edward wouldn't last
nine innings Joe Lake, O'Connor's best
pitcher. came to his rescue when it
seemed that he had lost everything.
Gabby Street got back in the fray. but
was almost put off watch in the third
inning. In chasing a foul from Stones
bat he crashed against the grand
stand concrete wall. Charley was badly
unused up. but gamely resumed his posi-
ion Denlnd Inc Dat.
Young Otey. the pitcher obtained by
The Washington club from Norfolk, join
cd McAIeers band here yesterday Nc
Nicer says the newcomer may show here
in case any of the others are knocked
from the mound.
Dolly" Gray will likely twirl today s
anne. His opponent on the mound will
proba bly, be Lake or Bailey.
The sun bothered the senatorial fly
rhasers considerably. Originally, Schaefer
lined up in right and Gessler in center.
.tfter the fifth inning they switched posi-
lions Conroy. too. was affected. He
dropped two easy hoists One cost run.
Truesdale. the weakest hitting member
of the Browns, was responsible for Wal
kers retirement. The little fellow pOled
out a triple in the sixth with two out. 1t
vas Truesdale's second wallOp of like
proportions in two days.
George Mcbride turned two errors, but
his field play was good. Every time
George shows here with Washington the
fans say mean things about John Nc
6loskey for letting him get away from
the Cardinals.
Harfzell robbed Conroy of a certain
triple In the fourth. Roy leaped over to-
ward third. stuck out his bare hand and
hooked onto the Widows liner. Hart
yell also made nice catch of foul from
killifer's bat while on the full run.
