ing able to obtain Ray Cha pman from
the Cleveland Indians is there chance
for Roger Peckinpaugh to be dropped
by that club If Chapman is not avail
able, then Peckinpaugh will remain
with the Yankees and play short.
Peck is a splendid fielder and throw
er, and the discovery has been made
that while he is not a slugger, he man
when he made 119 hits for an average
of .220, which is a lot better than most
of the shortstops of the American
League displayed.
There are decidedly few shortstops
who are hard hitters. and any time
team has sufficient hitting strength in
other departments it can afford to
carry great fielder, even though he
be a weak hitter, at the middle sta
ton.
Rumor will not down that St Louis
syndicate will BUY the Cardinals ere
many days have passed. 1t is under
stood that Britton has set a price on
his club and that it is being consid

purchase. However, the names of the
men who make up the syndicate are
withheld, and will not be made public
in the event the deal fails.
1t is authoritively stated that the
Sinclair syndicate has turned down the
proposition, and that if the st. Louis
capitalists do not come through Brit
ton will continue to run the club.
1t is not yet definitely decided
whether Jim Callahan will take the
Pirates to Hot Springs. Ark, or to Co
iumbus, Ga. to do their spring training.
Cal figures that the players have had
enough of Hot Springs. and that they
would fare better down at Columbus,
Ga. where there is regular big league
ball field and perfect hotel accommoda-
tons available. President Drey-
fuss is not taking any sides in the mat
ter. He will be satisfied with whatever
selection his manager may make.
