H. Experiment wolverton is working
his head Off to acquire a fast ball club,
and his last experiment, Malcolm
Barry, first baseman from the Brockton
club, of the New England League, fore
shadows the passing of Hal Chase.
premier first baseman of the American
League until the arrival of "Chick"
Gandil. Barry will not join the High
landers until September, and it is as
sunied that Chase will finish the season
with the New Workers.
Next year Chase will probably be
found with some other American
League club, possibly Chicago or De-
troit. He has failed miserably in New
York, and now the fans have begun to
grumble at his work, though he Is play
ing good ball at the present time.
Chase is charged with not playing his
best ball for Wolverton because Of
jealousy at losing the management of
the Highlanders. Those who know
Chase scott at this charge, but it Is be-
lieved by the fans, nevertheless, and
they are worrying the player to death
with their jibes and sneers every time
he fails to make a wonderful eaten
or pound out bingle.
Street Is Doomed
Waivers have been asked on eight Of
his veterans by Harry Wolverton.
''Gabby'' Streets name figures in the
list, and it Is said that he Is booked
for place in the International League,
probably Rochester. Relations between
the Rochester and New York clubs are
close, and Jack Lelivelt is due for a
trial with the Yankees in the fall. This
may mean the passing of Street to the
minors. He has fallen down woefully
this season, largely because of a poor
start, and is to be sidetracked for a
younger backstop. He was expected to
be of great assistance to Ed Sweeney,
but he has been almost useless to VOL
Verton.
Jacques Fournier. who played first
base for the White Sox on their recent
visit to this city, has been sent to
Montreal by Jimmy Callahan for fur
the Chicago club next spring in the
hopes of developing into a good man for
the Windy City tribe. Fournier Is a
youngster, discovered by Ted Sullivan
in the wilds of Canada, and should be-
come a good player in couple of years.
Silk" O'Loughln, the clustering um.
plre of the American League, Is out OF
the game owing to twisted knee re-
the big noise in the Ohio State League
this season, will take his place in Phila-
delphia. Philly fans are burning red
fire.
Warner Gets Trial.
Eddie Warner, the crack southpa~
hurler from Brown University, is due
FOR a trail this week with the Pitts
burgh Pirates. His work among the
colleges Of the East earned him &
chance in the big show, and 1t though
that he may turn out to BE- Lefty
I.eifieId's successor in the Smoky City'
After suffering from blood poisoning
for half the season, Al Bridwell, th'
10rmer star shortstop of the New Yorl
Giants. is to join the Boston Brave
This week. Many think he will bolstc
a tottering infield and will prove o
great strength to the rag doll of tn
National League, the Boston Braves.
Jim DClahanty, former National, ha
been released by the Tigers to tn
Sacramento club of the Pacific Coas
ar. He is expected to start for Califor
ria within week or so.
Kid Elberfeld the former National, i

but his rough tactics have lost hin
many supporters.
Otto Jordan, former manager at At

The umpiring in the American LeaGu
has never been so bad as IT Is this veal
Evans, Dineen, and Connolly alone haY
done good work.
Young Jantzen, playing right field fo
the st. Louis Browns, was grabbe
from the defunct outlaw team in CHI
