PUBLIC OPINION
IN BASEBALL

Kay Chapman is easily the best short
E.op in the American Association.
They claim that Chapman is the best
shorthslder the association ever claimed,
DOME Bush not excepted.
Ray Chapman is a member Of the To-
iedoi team and Toledo is the farm Of
the Cleveland Maps.
Not alone Is Chapman a great fielder,
but he Is also q splendid hitter and base
runner.
Cleveland needs a shortstop and Chap
man IS the best shortstop in the minors.
The Maps want Chapman. They can
get Chapman, and also-they can't
Chapman IS wanted in Cleveland inn
mediately. Toledo won't give him up TIN
the season Is over.
''Topsy'' Hartsel says there is not a
chance for Cleyeland to get Chapman
this season.
The Toledo management agrees with
Hartsei. They are afraid Of antagoniz-
ing the public.
So Cleveland can get Chapman and
can't get Chapman. There are few short-
stops In the big leagues the equal Of
Chapman, still there is one thing that
separates the player from the major
Ieagues-public opinion.
