down from the wilds of Jersey for a
chat with the Old Fox.
Harper will hardly be lost to base
ball. The enlisting OF his brother
Neaves '.Moxie" the sole support OF
his mother. Unlike Ty Cobb and com
pany, Harper has not been in baseball
long enough to become independently
wealthy. and so the exemption board
has placed him in class 3. This means
that there Is small chance of his being
called to the colorA
The Old Fox is not likely to cheer
when Informed that his crack south
paw intends marrying IeXt month.
Griff likes to have his players wed,
but prefers that they do so imme-
diately after the season rather than
just before. He wants his players to
have their minds wholly upon base
ball, once the training season opens.
However, most players use their own
judgment in this matter.
Has No Bid Up.
Manager Griffith today denied that
he had any bid in for the services OF
Derrill Pratt. He spoke thusly when
asked concerning a story from ST..
Louis that Pratt would be sold today
to New York, Cleveland or Wash
Ington.
Whatever proposition had invoIv
ing Pratt was discussed at Chicago
explained Manager Griffith. "Since
then l have pot communicated with
the st. Louis club.
Yes. I'd like to have Pratt for my
ball club, IL could get him at a fair
price, but I am not in the field for
him to outbid any other club chat
wants him more than j do" ....
1t Is, therefore, most probable that
Pratt will become a Yankee before
nightfall, for Miller Huggins is right
on the Job, armed with a sack of hard
money and a barrel Of paper stuff.
