lust as the way was all smoothed over
toward making Mordccai Brown manager
Of the Cincinnati Reds out comes Garry
Hermann with the following statement
that the three-Gngered pitcher has not
been discussed a s possible leader:
I'VE have had no negotiations whatso-
ever with Brown. | have not talked with
him or had any communication with him.
| cannot understand how any one could
say that we have decided upon Brown as
our next manager. because he has not
been discussed"

was released To the indianapolis club OF
the American Association by the Cincin-

lately. with the result that the name o.
the Empire State League Of Georgia mas

League. and the application OF the West
ern Canada League for classification in
Glass G has been dsallowed.
The removal OF Joe Tinker from the
management Of the Cincinnati Reds has
nut an end to the hopes Of Clarke Crit
