Schultz Jumped To
Federals Because of
Bawling Out By Chance

Schultz, the southpaW who jumped
the New York Yankees for the Buff
fa1o Feds, may be back in the Ameri-
can league next season, asst is said
Fielder Jones wants him for the
Browns. Several stories have been
told of why Schultz fell out with
Frank Chance and did the grass
hopper act but a st. Louis writer says
this is the real one.
The break which led up to Schu1tz's
hurdle occurred during the seventt
inning of game between the Browns
and Yanks.
The Browns and Yanks batt1ed on
even terms During the first half of
the seventh inning the New Workers
gathered six or seven runs off a varied
assortment of Brownie slab artists.

SALE OF LOCAL CLUB SOON.

The Eastern association men won a.
big victory over their enemies, the
merger crowd yesterday when they
were able to announce a six-c1ub cir
cult at their meeting in Hartford. The
league. has two good men for the
Hartford franchise in John P. Irwin
and F. II. Bigelow. The latter is an old
Harvard athlete and has plenty of
money. He has secured options on
two grounds one of which is, Charter
Oak park.
1t is probable that the Bridgeport
franchise will change hands,, now
that the league has been organized.
Several bidders have approached
Owner Freeman but it was necessary
to wait for the league organization
before anything could be done.
If the Yankees secure Home Run
Baker as well as Lee Magee they will
have "a hard hitting combination to
bother American league pitchers next
season Baker made a big mistake
when he tried to play the holdup
game too long. A few months ago
he was offered a fat contract to play
with the Yankees but he turned it
down because he thought he could
jump to the Feds as a last resort
