Both American League
Leaders Want Maisel

fielder of the New York Americans,
may become the property Of either
Chicago or Boston before the end

WAR HITS ATHLETICS.
Bates and Noyes to Quit Team and
Join Army.

st. Louis, Aug. 29.-Ray Bates play
ed his last game yesterday afternoon
in an Athletic uniform. He left the
team last night and will go to his
home in Jersey City where he will
enlist in the army.
Win Noyes also is lost to the Mack
men. The young pitcher left yester-
day afternoon for his home town,
Kearney, Kans., and he will enlist
Immediately.
The biggest loss to the Athletics
will be their third baseman. Bates
had made good in the position. being
a good hitter and fine fielder and was
regarded as one Of the infeid pillars
In the upbuilding Of the Athletics. It
Is more than likely that Schang will
MI the place for the remainder of the
season.
