believe they have a chance to secure
Russell Blackburne from the White
Sox. Los Angeles is making a strong
bid for last years second baseman.
Maybe they will succeed, but we
doubt,it very much. There is no log
ical reason why Blackburne should
be released from the south side team.
He is needed now, and will be, needed
more during the season if injuries
creep in.
BIackburne is the best relief i'm
fielder on the squad, and in some
quarters there is a strong suspicion
that he would make good as the reg
ular third baseman. That difficult
corner job is still an open proposition.
BrOmwich, Baker and Breton have
all had a crack at it, and no one of
them has shown enough all-around
ability to class with major league
third basemen.
Until Weaver returns to the squad
there vii Ibe no chance to try Black
burne out at third base. He is need

may get practice next to a fast man.
But when Buck puts on his uniform
again the logical step is to put Black
bUrne over on third and let him have
a try at the job. He is a smart ath-
lete and will not be guilty of errors
of omission. His hitting will class
up well, his baserunning is good.
He has never played third, but the
base is situated on the side of the
diamond where his best work has
been done.
Bromwich and Baker were sent
back to the second squad yesterday
by Manager Rowland Both failed.
Now the leader is making a desperate s.
effort to teach Bobby Roth, an out
fielder, the business of third basing.

UNKNOWN cHISANiTE BELIEVED
 TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED

While Charles Johnson was going from Chisana to Fairbanks he learn ed that a purse containing $165, hat and some other clothing was found on a sandbar of the Panama river.
 From the appearance of the articles it appeared that somebody going down the river had been dumped out of his boat and probably downed, and the valuables washed onto the sand search for traces of the person or persons who might have been lost failed to reveal anything.
