Back to the Farm For Eajoie
If He Doesn't Get Good Berth

What is Larry Lojoie going to
slip his brawny hands around next
srr.ng, the pillow handle or the
baseball bat!
It's going to be one or the 9TH
er and IL it's a baseball bat 1t will
be in a major league and will be
under terms which are satisfactory
ITO Napoleon Lajoie.
At least that's Lajoie's present
ultimatum.
Il have been in baseball too
many years to be unreasonable"
Larry said the other day. But
baseball, SO far as the minor
leagues are concerned under pres
ent conditions, doesn't appeal to
me strongly and my record of last
year at Montreal should put me in
position where | can ask for a
pretty good contract. If | don't
get what | want-well, l guess the
old farms about good enough for
mel"
Lajoie was interviewed at his
farm near Cleveland. He wore
regulation farm uniform, overalls,
jumper, heavy cap and rubber
boots. He had been out since
early morning-"just tinkering
around" as he expressed it.
I've never been able to prop
erly enjoy my farm" he contin-
ued. I'm ready to begin almost
any time. or course If | get the
proper kind of a contract l won't
quit baseball"
Lajoie said he had received one
or two offers, the nature OF which
he was not at liberty to divulge.
He denied he had heard anything
from Harry Frazee, either relative
to managing the Red Sox or play
ing first base there.
With dozens of younger ball
players in government service and
the possibility of many more being
called by the draft before the sea-
son opens, there is no doubt that
Lajoie's services will be needed.
And IL his record at Montreal
is any indication Larry hasn't
slipped as much as was generally
supposed.
He won the international pen
nant with the third best team in
the league and incidentally led
