SUBJECT TO RECALL
Major League|PIayers ReIeas-
ed to Minor League Clubs.
MUCH PROMISING TALENT
Yankees, With Twenty One Reserves
on List, Lead All Major
League Clubs.

CINCINNATI. August 1.-THE ma
tional base ball commission has giveI
out full list of major league players
who have been released to mfnol
league clubs under properly approved
optional agreements. In the cases o.
all of these clubs the major league
club has the right to repurchase any Of
these players at the specified terms Au
gust Is. The list this year is especially
large. The fact that a major league
club lets out a player on option does
not necessarily mean that the player
will be recalled.
Owing to the more expansive system
of letting out young players there are
more players out on option this year
than ever before. The Yankees lead
by a big margin. They have the right
to recall twenty-one players to the
colors. including several not yet Sc
lected by the club in return for other
players. The club already has recalled
its most promising farmhands, Shocker
Aragon and Miller. but other promising
boys who are subject to recall this
month are Tipple, Hendryx, Blodgett
and Piercey.
The Giants have several promising
players subject to recall, among them
being Jim Thorpe. who is hitting well
In Milwaukee; Bill Ritter. the pitcher
and Rodriguez. the Cuban first base
man, who is doing fine work for New
London. Brooklyn has ten players out
on option, the most promising being
Smythe, Nixon and Mack Wheat.
