TOO MANY SOUTHPAWS.
Joe Birmingham Is Embarrassed
with Wealth of Port WheeIers.

Joe Birmingham is embarrassed with
a wealth of southpaws. none of whom
he cares or dares to let go. Accord
ing to reports he has four good ones.
Gregg, of course Mitchell, Cullop and
Wilson are the men.
With bis team to rebuild Birmingham
dare not carry too many pitchers. He
needs some 'right-handers besides Blan-
ding. But IL his left-handers are really
good, he has about as much chance of
getting waivers on them as Detroit would
on Cobb.
Washington, Chicago. and New York
are in the market for portsiders. De-
trot would not pass by a good one.
Birmy will keep Gregg because he is
mighty good and Cullop because there is
a lot of Nap money tied up in him.
With Mitchell and Wilson he will go
carefully, because he would hate to let
them go and find them winning games
for the Sox, Yanks, Nationals, or Tigers.

is that Manager Jennings will not send

Cobb joins the club. If the recruit can
not make good the next best thing is
going back to the minor leagues with

the boys in the other league of the game
