Dunn May Transfer
Orioles to York, Pa.

YORK. Pa. Aug. S.-The transfer OF
the Baltimore international League
team to this city is contemplated, and
1t is expected that the Orioles will pia Y
the remaining games Of their schedule
here. The team. in charge OF Neal
Ball. came here yesterday from Buff
falo and played the York semi-profes-
SIGNALS. which were organized after the
Tristate League franchise was trans
ferred to Lancaster.
Manager Jack Dunn. OF the Inter-
nationals. is favorably impressed with
York. and there IS every likelihood that
the first game between International
League teams will be played here next
Monday. Montreal being the attraction.
The orioles have been drawing so
poorly In Baltimore since the invasion
OF the Federal League that il is be-
lieved the team would be better pa
tronized here. Popular prices prevailed
here today. and there was a large at
tendance. York fans are eager for
clean baseball. and the promoters Of
the former Tristate team here are max
ing every effort to obtain the fran
chise for York for the remainder Of
the season. This. II is thought. would
pave the way for the placing OF a
good team here next season

Brooklyn Buys Steele
And Sends Brown Back

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-President C. H.
Ebbets OF the Brooklyn Nationals
bought Pitcher Bill Steele from the
Cardinals yesterday afternoon. The
purchase price was not announced.
Steele will be out in Flatbush livery at
Ebbets Field this afternoon to help
greet Cubs with his new associates.
Steele expressed keen delight with his
transfer to a spot so near the Broad
way and hopes that the change will
prove beneficial.
To make room for Steele Manager
Robinson released Pitcher Elmer
Brown to the Newark International
League club yesterday. Brown has
been a sad disappointment to the
Brooklyn owners this season. East fall
he showed every indication of rare abil-
ity. During the spring training he gave
great promise. When the campaign
started II was found that Brown had
mislaid his control. Robinson hopes
that semester in Newark will tune
Brown up for further trial. Brooklyn
will retain first call upon his services.
President Ebbets announced yester-
day that the management had decided
to make no change in the hour set for
Saturday and holiday attractions. The
opening game with the Cubs as a re-
suit of this will commence as usual at
2:30 O clock

THINKS VEAN GREGG

Bill Carrigan May Send Former
Nap Southpaw Home for

DETROIT, Mich. Aug. s.-Bin CARR
gan. manager OF the Red Sox. Is be-
ginning to think that Joe Birmingham
hung something op him when he
traded vean Gregg. The former star
southpaw OF the Maps failed yesterday
In his third trial and Is going around
today complaining of weak pitching
arm. 1t is possible that he will not be
used again this season, though CARR
gan declines to speak about this phase
of the matter.
II haven't come to any decision In
Gregg's case yet said Carrigan today,
though I'll admit that I thought he
would make better showing with us
than he has 50 far. Perhaps he needs
a rest and will then show US his Old
time class out there in the box
From those closely In touch with Car
rigan. however. comes the information
that Gregg may be sent home from this
city, the Red Sox boss having decided
that the southpaw Is through for the

CONNIE IS WATCHING
FOR YOUNGSTERS
Athletics Shrewd Boss Is Not
Asleep at Switch and Is
Combing the Bushes.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. s.-Connis
Mack. manager Of the Athletics. is a
standpatter this year with the excsp-
ton of his pitching staff and occasional
shifts Of his outer gardeners. But
don't, think that Connie Is fast asleep
Just because the present regular com
bination he has satisfies him. No: the
willy one has scouts ready 20 hit the
trail that leads to good prospects.
While Mack may be satisfied with
the everyday baseball outfit that he
has rigged up for himself he Is doing
lot Of timely inendhlg on his second
string OF garments at the moment when
one stitch saves the nine.
In the outfieid this SEASON Mack has
his three regulars o. last season, Old
ring. Strunk and Eddie Murphy. For
extra men there are Daley and Thomp-
son. Mack's outfield has been some
what overshadowed by the great In
field. but Connie has enough good ma
terial.
That Mack can stand pat on his ax-
gregation Of last season Is due to a
large extent to tie fact that Catcher
Jack Lapp Is oack n shape. With all
credit coming to Schang, the bow
catcher who made such a wonderful
showing last season, Mack values Lamp.
and 1t was only because Lspp was
not in shape last season that Schanz
got the chance he did Lapp was
struck on the throat BY a batted ball
during the spring training season, last
year and he never thoroughly recov-
cred. Later at Detroit he hurt his
hand and had to stay out OF the game
toward the end OF the season.

Baseball Bits From EpcryWhere

The first ones gone.
Errors in the wrong place are costly.
Pretty tough when double-header
has to be booked for Saturday.
Carl Cashion played first base in a
double-header one day last week-just
one day.
Once more does Connie Macks out,
Ut draw away from the Red SoX and
the Griffmen in the race.
There was considerable talk about
Joe Jackson's going to first base, but
he's still out in right field.
Steve Yerkes was said TO have leaped
to the Pittsburgh Feds. but he held
down second base yesterday for the
ked Sox.
Walter johnson is hardly to be COM
nended for his generosity in pitching
one inning in Decatur just to let the
fans see him. How about that $50?
1t is apparent that Branch Rickey's
Brownies have shot their bolt and are
now merely playing for place This
is true of every team but the Red Sox
and mackmen. too
Ty Cobb breaks into the game for
the Tigers with a triple in his lone Of
fcial trip TO the platter. Had he been
in shape all season-weh. that Is
another Of those ifs
According to a Philadelphia writer,
American Leaguers are in a conspiracy
to defeat the Mackmen. because the
latter are lukewarm in their fraternity
feelings. Does Baker. Collins and COM
pany know II yet?
George Stallings' Braves suffered
their first defeat Yesterday in ten
games They'll probably start right in
again to hang up another long winning
streak When a team can do THAI, It
Is sure to have a chance for the pen
