II reports from st. Louis are to be be-
lieved. George Stovall is in fair way to
deal his former employer. Bob Hedges a
severe blow. Stovall. who is OF man
age the Kansas City Federal League
club next season, has already signed
Sam Agnew the Browns catching main
stay. and there arc rumorS that Wellnan.
Ley erenz. Gus Williams and BaumSa.d-
ner OF the Browns are to follow suit.
-Agnew admits having jumped the s.
Louis club. He has written one OF the
St Louis papers to this effect. Stovali
is said TO be offering the members of
the Browns large increases in salary in
the hope of securing their signatures TO
Federal League contracts. The Browns
will be sure to miss Agnew, who is con
sidered one of the best young catchers in
the country. and if Stovall succeeds in
getting one or two others of the Browns
to jump TO his team he will have put a
decided crimp into the Hedges forces
