FAMOUS PLAYERS SOON BECOME
 HAS-bEENS
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, July 3, - It may be that the deal which sent Lee Magee to the St Louis Browns and brought Armando Marsans from the Browns to the Yankees will be the savirg of two fine ball players.
 When Magee was a member of the Cardinals he was conceded to be one of the finest ball players in the game. Likewise when Marsans was a mem Der of the Cihcsnnati Reds he was ac- knowledged to be one Of the real | whizzes among outfielders. Then both players took leap to the Federal league, where Magee i'm mediately began to hit and field like a fiend, at the same time being hooked to job as manager of the Brooklyn club.
 It was said for Magee that he was the only real rival Ty Cobb had, and when the Federal league went on the l rocks New York rejoieed that he was to become member of the Yankees, His failure there now is history.
 Marsans record reads something the same, although he found it i'm possible to hit Federal league pitch ing with any success. His sojourn in the American league has been just IS much of famous flivver as Ma gees engagement with the Tanks.
 Often it happens that change of clubs makes a ball player all over again. It has happened many times that men refused by one club have blossomed into regular beings when hitched to another. The cases of Dick Rudolph, Milton Stock and many others make plenty of evidence to back up this assertion.
 It will be tragical if Magee fails to come back, for he has all the mo tions of splendid ball players.
