League clubs to land at least two of

able acquisition to the SoX hurting
brigade. Boston has mighty staff
of pitchers now, with Ray Collins,
yean Gregg. Joe Wood, Foster, Leon
ard and Shore, and with Plank would
have the best boxmen in the league.
The Yankees are said TO be sweet
on Chief Bender, and Frank Farrell is
anxious to land him. Cleveland de-
sires both men. The Maps need quite
a few handy moundsmen and are will
ing to bid as high as any other club

ceivers.
