Though much has been written about
the intentions of Ban johnson TO
strengthen the Yankees" there Is some
doubt as to the methods he will employ.
No baseball club gives any good player
away, not even to aid a weaker OUTFIT
in the same circuit Charlie Comiskey
had to pay at least $4,000 to buy Eddie
Collins. To get Hughey Jennings, Frank
Navin would ask a larger sum, and
would also have to be assured Of a
successor TO his fiery leader.
The same argument is good for the
local baseball situation. Clark Griffith
will have to strengthen his club here
by his own unaided EFFORTS. He cannot
count on obtaining sny assistance from
other clubs, at least IN the American
League He must d'g out and get his
own men wherever he may. That's
about what he has done now, TOO. hik-

and he is reported 10 be In the market
for a good third baseman. Indeed. he
is said TO be casting longing eyes on
Fritz Maisel, the midget Yankee third
sacker.
In order TO obtain Maisel. Rowland
will have 10 come across with some
men in retaru and he Is said to be
willing to pass over five athletes 10
obtain the star base runner OF the
league. The troubles of the Yankee
manager are going to be manifold the
moment he hops upon the Job. The
Yanks nave few players worth trad
ing. but Maisel is one OF them. 1t
might prove well for the Ysnks to let
Maisel 90, il they can get five players
worth while. but It's safe to say that
the White Sox will not hand over any
GOOD men, even TO get Maisel.
Charlie Swain. the mammoth out-

Fair Enough.
No one could ever accuse Connie Mack
OF paying out the most lavish salaries
IN the world. No one could ever &C
cusc Connie OF being a spendthrift. But
the criticism that has been leyeled at
him over releasing Jack Coombs is
hardly justified. Coombs was injured in
the Giant-Athletic world series OF 1911.
He did fair work in 1872 and no work
at all in 1913 or 1914 through injury and
illness. Yet Mack carried Jack on the
payroll for two seasons after he had
become disabled. Which is no great
philanthropy. but which Is fair enough.
