ROTH WON'T
PLAY IN ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 27.-Following the
announcement by President J. c. Dunn
OF the Cleveland Indians that he had
put Outfielder Bobby Roth on the
trading block, he was besieged by
seven rival owners at the American
League meeting in Chicago. All were
willing to take Roth OF Dunn's
hands. ~
When Roth learned that he was to
be traded, he Is said to have informed
Dunn that he would gladly go 70 any
place but to the Browns. His OBJ
lection to coming to st. Louis, he
said, was because he had gotten "in
bad" with the patrons of-the 26-cent
section along Grand avenue. -t-,
Two years ago. Roth and the fans
engaged in an argument and. becom-
ing peeved at his audiepce, the out
fielder cast a pop bottle into the
stands. Since that time the bleacher-
ties have not permitted Roth TO for
get the incident, and on each visit to
Sportsman's Park they make life
miserable for the Indian. That's the
reason he says he doesn't want to
come to st. Louis.
Roth may have no say-so in the
matter, however, as Bobby Quinn will
snare him, il there is a possible
chance. 49,
