NOT

BY LEADERS
Buffalo Club seII4 TwirIer
Without Going Through
This Formality.


If dispatches sent out from Buff
falo are correct Manager William
S Clymer, of the Herd, is likely to hear
from several International League
managers as we'll as President Ed
ward G. Barrows office within the
next few days. Clymer is accused of
"railroading'' players out of the
league without going through the
waiver process.
A dispatch has been sent out of
Buffalo to the effect that Pitcher
Ralph Stroud had been sold to the
Sacramento Club, of the Pacific Coast
League. Those on the inside say that
no waivers had been asked on the
Jersey boy, and until this formality
Is gone through the deal cannot be
valid, according to baseball law.
Stroud is rated as a valuable
pitcher by international League man.
ayers, who have watched him for
the last two seasons as a member
of the Bison pitching staff. He has
4 great curve ball, and when his
kpeed is good he has a hop on his
last one that makes the batters long
Tor the bucket and the bench. He
fas a tendency at times to slow UP
little, IL overworked, and this was
he cause of his failure to pitch con-
zIstently last season for the Herd.
Twirlers have claimed for several
reasons back that Lew McAllister
las ruined more than one pitcher for
season by having them pitch too
many curve balls.
Buffalo had some likely looking
<Itchers for a time last season, but
nc staff went to the bad, and though
be Bison batsmen slugged the ball,
hey never were able to ease up for
moment as the pitchers were
feady to blow without the slightest
Warning, until the whole team was
disrupted.
Stroud pitched several good games
&st year, among the most notable be-
<ng a shut-out against Newark, in
which he let the Tigers down with a
tpuple of hits. Harry Wolverton
&nows Stroud's ability and will make
good pitcher of him If Clymer can
74et him out of the international
<eague.
Such moves are made on the spur of
ne moment by managers sometimes
"a the hope that through league poll
les the other managers will waive
laim on the player, just as Osborn
vas gotten through the waiver net by
lawn Camel.
81 When Harry Smith was in charge
pf the Boston Doves three years ago,
waivers were asked on the same Os-

Osborn. but President Dewey did not
how Harry the waiver request, and
Smith woke up one morning to learn
that Osborn had Joined the Rochester
team. He went to Dewey with the
war paint on, but was told that the
matter had been overlooked.
The same season Harry was sent
out to scout for a pitcher. He found
STROUD, but was disappointed to learn
that Detroit had grabbed him.
Stroud at one time was given a trial
by the Newark club, but he was
EARNED out to the Tri-State League
by Manager Wolverton. Wolverton
later admitted his mistake and has
been anxious to recover the Dover boy
