first baseman George Sisler and
pitcher Allan Sotnoron. OF the St
Louis Browns. were approached by
George Kelchner. a former big league
scout, now acting for the Lebanon
club. and both received offers TO 90
to the Bethlehem Steel league. Neither
player would give Kelchner any def
mite answer at the time. This Is the
second attempt Kelchner has made TO
land st. Louis American league play
ers. The last time the Browns played
in the east he approached Capt.
Jimmy Austin, Sisler, SOthoron and
several others. but failed to get any
satisfaction from them. They were
all willing to listen 10 the PROPOSE
tions, but none OF them Topped. Sis
Ter and Sothoron are two OF the
American league stars. and their pres
ence on the Lebanon team would make
that club a formidable one in the
steel league. Before joining forces
with Lebanon this summer Kelchner
had acted as scout for the St Louis
Cardinals. He also secuted for the
Browns two years ago.
