Terzog at Shreveport None of the Reds need fear being released on ac- count of the player limit rule, for Herzog can hold on to every man on the squad until the twentv-one-man 1ule goes into effect on May IS. This condition is said to be unprecedented
 Herzog this year decided, not to take a lot of rockies South and then, after feeding them for a, while. let them loose. There is practically only one job open-in the outfieId. Els mond and Morgan will not report at Shreveport for some time, as both are ill.
 Two members of the Superbas are stated for berths with Montreal. They are Nixon. the outfelder and Mack Wheat, the catcher and brother rf Zack the hitter. Dan Howley, manager of the Royals, has entered q bid for the two players and he is pretty sure to get them. as the Su- rerbas are not in need of either.
 There is one manager who is sore that he waived claim on Joe Wood, and he is Lee Fohl of Cleveland. It wasn't FohIs fault that he gave the Red Sox a waiver. When Joe Lannin sent out the call for waivers the Cleveland outfit was still in the hands of the bankers committee, and Fohl could not get his hands on the s2.5o0 reeded to claim the pitcher. The Cleveland treasury was like Old Mother Hubbards cupboard. and Fohl could not have bought three Ty CCbbS if they had been offerecr at q thousand apiece Now things are different with the Cleveland club, and the new owners have instructed Fohl to go out and get Wood. Fohl has made several offers for Joe. but now that somebody wants him Wood has again become a valuable asset. Bill Carrigan declines to talk business and has ordered Wood to report at Hot Springs. While on the subject of the Cleveland club, 1t might be of in forest to know that the new owners number no less than thirteen.

Eagan participated in eighteen contests and is credited with thirteen victories and no defeats. He allowed 33 passes and no wild pitches.
