Griffith Expected To
Announce Deal Soon
Manager Denies Trade Rumors With Cleveland In
volving Four Nationals Try Out Harry
Harper Again-Minneapoli Catcher Is Tip
ped Off as Good One.
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

CLEVELAND, July 1S.-The first
rumor connecting the Griffmen with
a big trade has been denied fatty
by Manager Griffith, but it is ex-
pected that he win announce some
sort of deal within a few days.
The gossip running through the
camp had trade arranged between
the Cleveland and Washington clubs,
whereby Joe jackson and Ray Chap
man would join the Griffs in ex-
change for Ray Morgan, George Nc
Bride, Danny Moeller and Joe Boehl-
ing:
"There's nothing to that story"
replied the Old Fox to a query as to
its truth. "I'm not talking about
any Of my ball players as subjects
for trades, SO you must excuse me,
though there's nothing to that >ru-
NOR"
Just how the trade rumor started
b Unknown. It could not be traced
down. However, both Ray Chapman
and Joe Jackson are said by close
friends to be eager to get away
from this city, and that may offer
clue to the beginning Of the story.
Harry Harper Is to be tried out in
American League games when he re-
to the Old Fox.
Nov that have little chance in this
race, I may as well look him over
against big league clubs" explains Grin.

DIRECTS
TEAM OVER PHONE

Something new In baseball has been
iraugurated by Harry Wolverton. man
ager Of the Gan Francisco club OF the
Pacific Coast League. The former lead
er Of the New York Yankees has been
conducting the field baseball campaign
OF the Seals from his bed by the aid Of
telephone and telegraph wires.
Wolverton. who was seriously injured
In an automobile accident, decided that
he could manage his team Just as well
from the hospital bed as the bench.
Wires were installed from the Seals dug
out at the baseball park to wolverton's 3
bedside and he was kept informed Of
every move OF the opposing teams.
" hen his club was out of town a tele-
graph wire was substituted for the
phone and the disabled manager made
suggestions, followed the play and in
general dictated the field policy OF the
Seals. In the same manner he would
have had he been on the players bench.

(SEAL)

Kansas City Stock Yards, May IS,
1915. Cattle receipts were 5000 head
today, and trade was active, at strong
to 10 higher prices. Native steers
weighing 1445 lbs. brought $500, best
price paid this season for heavy cat
tie; yearlings reached SO 25, pulp and
alfalfa fed Colorados of good weights
sold freely at So SIS to So 80, highest
range of the season, and 10 cents
above yesterday, panhandle baby
beef IS. 40 to 1885, a train of Montana
hay fed steers 11eO to 1885 lbs aver
age. $500 to So. 10, stock calves $500,
feeders IS. 35. The supply ran to
beef cattle largely and there was am
pie demand for everything, and
weather was conductive to good fills,
another point in sellers favor Bulk
of the beef steers sold at 1886 to So. rs
and owners are now able to pay out
on their feeding operations in most
cases. This latter condition will tend,
to keep cattle coming pretty freely
as it is the point many feeders have
been waiting for since early in the
spring. Stockers and feeders are
scarce, and the number of first quail
ity cattle is limited, and such sell
quickly at a good margin over plain
cattle, although bulk of stock steers
sell at 800 to $500 and feeders 81 rs
to So. 90.
Hog receipts were 1900, market 5
higher, top 81. SIS. bulk of sales were
s7.45 to $3.50 Order buyers and
packers compete on all the hogs, and
keep the price range narrow. Quail
ity of hogs here is very good, and
prices are running TO Is cents above
Eether Missouri river markets. There
is a market here for immune hogs,
where the fact OF vaccination is be-
yond question, at prices Is 10 25 cents
above the general market. A load of
immune hogs sold yesterday at 1856,
but later the packers were found de-
fective, and the hogs were resold TO a
packer today at $3.50. dime higher
than they would of sold to packers
yesterday morning.
Sheep and lambs are stronger, and
brusher goats are firm, fat goats
Slightly lower today, total receipts
10000 head. No choice range NUT
tons are here, few medium grade
wethers and ewes at So. rs to s7.25.
