MEMPHIS, Tennessee, July San
nounccment was made Wednesday Of
the sale Of Pitcher Ezra Barger, mana
ger Of the Memphis Southern Associa-
tion club to the Chicago Nationals, to
report when the southern season closes
Friday.
William F. Baker. president of the
Philadelphia National League club, has
bought a bush league team entitled
'ntcrhrr Connecticut. Last winter
he sold a big league team entitled
A,rAunder & Killefer.
That clubs in the major leagues are
not feeling the effects of the war, to
any extent, as some of them claim, is
a matter Of mere camouflage, and moth
ihT else
That much is proved by the recent
appeal o. Branch Hickey, president OF
the st. Louis Nationals, to stockhold
Of the Cardinals.
In letters sent to them Hickey ex
plains that a note for $40 900 is due
Mrs. Helen Britton, former owner OF
; the club, on July !. Funds for cur,
rent liabilities of 100000 must be
, raised some time this week, the let
ter states.
The St Louis club was purchased
from Mrs. Britton by syndicate fol
$3.50, 900 of which 100000 is yet to
r be paid.
This shows that st. Louis hash Z
been making any money this year, but
. has been dropping it, instead. OF
3 course, the fact that the team is in the
second division has a lot to do with
the situation.
