CUBS TO DROP "oLD HEADS
Needham and Bransfield Slated to Join
Newark Club az Payment for
Services Of Pitcher Smith.

"Old heads" are slated for the dis.
card in the course of rehabilitation
planned by Manager Chance of the once
mighty Cubs. Events marking the for
lorn struggles of the West siders for
another pennant and the subsequent
drubbing accorded by the White Sox
has paved the way for the roller-coast-
er, which ''Husk'' is plotting to use
with lavish hand next season.
F1rst-hand information coming in the
form of a. dispatch from Newark, N. j.,
has it that Tom Needham, alias Deer
foot" and that doughty old veteran Of
thousand or more combats, kitty"
Bransfield, will be missing at roll call
when the Cubs migrate to New Or
leans early in March. According to
the news from the Indian lodge the
aging West siders are to be turned
over as payment for the services Of
Charley Smith, the lean Highlander
who joined the former greats late in
August.
Smith, who is now rusticating at
Cleveland, is regarded by Chance as
one Of his most promising hurlers for
the coming pennant dash. He is no
juvenile, by any means, having el-
bowed his way from the minors to tho
American league, thence back to tho
small fry, and again into the exclusive
set. On form displayed while with
the Cubs this year Charley looks fit
and able to lend substantial hand

from the east reads, will serve Joe Nc
Ginity, the transfer to be staged with
in few days.
When Smith caught on with the
Cubs McGinity asked in return $4,000
in cash and two players, each valued
at $1,500. At about the same time
Bill Collins, one of the outfielders Sc
cured from Boston in the eight-man
trade, was turned over to Newark. Sub
seQuently the cubs got titles to the
services of First Baseman Joe Agler
and Sou'paw Walter Nagle. The pass
ing of Kitty and Deerfoot Tom is said
to be part of the transactions where

in the rear Of the store to spar. The

invited the chief to hit him. This, of
course, he failed to do, as Indians nev-

All at once the clerk struck out, and.
catching the chief under the ear, land

The Indian sprang to his feet, pulled
off the gloves, jerked out knife, and
the clerk had to run for his life. For

reach until some friends caught the
infuriated Indian and held him until
he cooled off, Then the clerk explain

vengeance for the insult, but he was
