To Be Dropped by Reds

CINCINNATI, Feb. 3.-Earl Yingling.
a Cincinnati southpaw, today announced
that he will contest any effort on the
part on the Red management to send
him to Salt Lake City. in the Pacific
League.
Yingling held a conference with Man
ager Blankenship. of that club, recently
and announced that he would not so to
Salt Lake. although Blankenship said
YinRling was considering the offer This
Yingling denies. He says that he has a
contract with the Reds that has two
years more to run, and that the con-
tract does not contain any mention of
the ten days clause"
This puts another interesting phase
to the baseball world. as a lawyer here
today said that Yingling cannot be
shipped to the minors except for viola
ton of the club rules O rtotal incompc-
tency. Therefore. Yingling is resting
confidently upon his case and practically
dares the Red management to release
him.

the Youngstown anatomical wizard.
whose ministrations are alleged to have
relieved many ball players Of trouble
with their arms and legs.
All winter Bush has been bothered
by his knee. which he says has a
tendency to stiffen up at intervals. seri-
ously interfering with his loconotion;
The pain seems to be In the back OF
the knee. and DOME finds II very annoy
Ing when one OF the spasms attacks
him.
In a letter received bv Trainer Tuthill.
the little infielder suggests the pilgrim

Jungaleers. Harry says that he Is per-
fectly willing to have Bush take the
case to the "Bonesetter." but would
troit and submit to an examination be-
fore yielding himself into the Youngs-
town wizards clutches;
It Is probable that DOME will take
a flying trip up here within the next
look at his ailing Joint. The Detroit
club is perfectly willing to meet any
expense attached to the trip and the
surgical inspection. for 1t doesn't want
to take any chances on having the In
dianapolis midget's underpinning in
bad shape when the season opens.
Were Bush to be incapacitated or
even slowed up to any marked ex-
