MAY TRADE RUTH
FOR W. JOHNSON
Big Deal Now Under Way
Involving Two Famous
Pitchers, Admits Frazee
BOSTON STAR HOLDOUT

A gigantic trade is brewing in the
American League, one which at last is
likely 10 give the redoubtable Walter
johnson an opportunity to display his
prowess u, baseball's greatest classic
the worlds championship series.
Within another forty-eight hours the
Idaho cannon ball is likely to he a MEM
Der of the worlds champion Boston Red
Sox. He is to move north in trade
for that superman of tho profession,
Babe Ruth-that is, if he moves at all
according to source Of information
which appears unusually close to both
the Boston and Washington clubs.
Harry II. Frazee. president of the
Boston American League club, was
asked pointbank in New York yester-
day afternoon if he were considering a
trade involving Ruth.
Yes, he Is on the market" Frazee
admitted. There Is nothing I possess
that l would not sell or trade-pro-
Yided. OF course, the proposition pre-
sented appealed to me as holding out
a personal advantage. 7 do not mean
by this that ! would sell Ruth. Nobody
could afford to offer me his value as
an asset in cash. But to trade him.
Yes. I'll trade Ruth If ! can get what
/ want.
Frazee Cautious
II certainly would not be foolish
enough to trade him to any club that
would have a chance TO turn around
with him and beat us out of the cham.
pionshp, however" Frazee concluded.
Are you in negotiation with Clark
Griffith in reference to any possible
disposition Of Babe Ruth?" Frazee was
asked.
"Why, no--o--. ! do not care tC
discuss the subject" the Battler cor
rected himself. Nothing definite has
developed yet. assure you. Something
may drop. I admit, inside the next cou
pie of days. | am not worrying oveI
Ruth, I can tell you. If any worrying
is to be done. let him do it,
1t developed that Ruth called at tht
headquarters of the Red Sox in BostoI
on Tuesday to inquire If Frazee was tC
accompany the team TO Tampa. Fraze,
is not so optimistic ng to interpret thi.
as a sign Of Babes weakening
Welcome Ruth
But he would not be at all surprised
to learn any day that the pitcher, out
fielder and slugger had lit out to tn,
land of sunshine to present his grev
anCeS to Ed Barrow. Ruth would b,
o welcomed, Frazee maintains, only in tn,
event that he presented himself Willing
to accept the last offer of the club
Under no circumstances would there b
q compromise.
F'raZee absolutely refused to discus
further the alleged prospective swap o
Ruth for johnson. It is not believed
however. that the Boston magnate woul,
be ready to trade even up. Great as Ii
Is, Johnson is no greater a gate attrac
M
And Babe. who can play the outfiel
and slug a la Cobb, is just hitting tn
high speed while the mighty Walter
getting along in years. Ruth has tn
best of hnS career before him: Johnso
undoubtedly has passed the crest.
