Phil Ball, the Mound City philan-
thropist, was rather keen on a trade
with New York, it appears. He wished

value of these three Yankees is in no
wise f1attering to any Of them Last
midsummer Ball would have sold Pratt
for $4,000 cash.

that Peckinpaugh would not be consid-
cred in any sort of deal; at least, in
none which did not bring a shortstop
