the leading hitters of the Interna tional
League. would make a mighty swell man

question.
Just about now, with the International
League race sizzling hot, Jack Dunn
needs Miller and anybody else who can
pound the bulb the way the southerner
has been doing. And right here is where
the trouble will come in. Dunnie cannot
afford to allow Miller to return to the
Yanks at present. and the New York
club, despite the fact that the player is it's
property, cannot force the local manager
to give him up: There is a big league
rule at present which stipulates that
players turned back to the minors can
not be recalled until September.
