Bill Leard Is Off for Trial in Big
 League.
 With more pep" than an 18- year-old rookie" warlike glint in his eye that indicates a determina- tion to put up a battle royal for a big league job. an injured shoulder and the best wishes of every dyed in the wool ball fan in Seattle, Bill Leard, the aggressive manager of the Seattle Giants, packed up his togs and is bound from Seattle for Brook lyn and the "big show"
 After a few days of negotiating regarding the matter of salary Leard came to terms with the Brooklyn management and wired Wilbert Rob inson, the obese Brooklyn pilot, that he would start East at once. Leard drew his last pay from the Seattle club and now officially is on the Dodgers payroll.
 Although announcement was made at the time Leard was sold to Brook lyn that he would not leave until the end of the season. the league closing up at an early date made 1t more or less unjust for the Seattle club to hold Bill when the Dodgers were clamoring for him.
