That Ends the FURRY in

Frank J. Farrell. chief owner OF the
Yankees. will get no balm from the
American League on the complaint OF
Frank 'hance, who charged that the
condition OF Rollie Zeider was misrepre-
scented when he and Babe" Borton were
brought to this city in trade for Hal
Chase. Ban Johnson has said It and Ban
Johnson is the court Of last resc.; in the
Junior organization. The president Of the
American League Is quoted as saying in
Chicago:
TT will be impossible TO take acton
compensating New York for an alleged
loss on the trade of Hal Chase to Chi
cago and for the simple reason that
Chance wanted Zeider more than any
other man He had his choice Of at least
six Chicago players and picked Zeider and
Bortoa Zeider was playing regularly
with the White Sox at the time Of the
deal"
So endeth a little baseball furry that
for a time promised to be unusually inter-
osting. Frank Chance and the Yankees
must make the most Of what now looks
like a bad bargain. Borton has been re-
leased or "farmed" out to Jersey City.
while Zeider is recovering from an opera
ton on his foot. which may keep him on
the diamond for several weeks.
