JACK DUNN SELLS
SHANNON TO AKRON

New York. Dec. 9.-Outfielder Joe
shannon was sold this morning by
Manager Dunn to the Akron Club
for $500. The fact that the Oriole
leader had plenty of Outfielders and
that he and Joe did not mingle very
well explains the reason for the sale.
Joe is a good man and Dunnie would
not have disposed of him under or
1inary conditions. 1t was due to this
fact that he loaned him to Bingham
ton last season. Joe played good
ball with the late but unlamented
Sobblers. and should make a first
Glass man for the Akron Club.
