Of his preparatory work in Tucson

other hard hitting scrappers. while
Burns also trained In that city for the

AOhan writes that Al McManus, the
coast lightweight whom he is keeping
in his stable OF mitt pushers, is billed
to meet a fast boy in Tucson on Labor
day and that he would like to get
him on in FL Paso.
NOLAN intends to come to this
city shortly after Labor day for
the purpose Of looking into local
prospects. Lincoln has been men
toned rs n prospective opponent
Of Nick Gundy here, and as the
Tesferuer earned n previous de-
ciSiou over the local fayorite it
would not surprise the fans to see
him put on within the next month
or so.

things fistic in Arizona follows:

CLOSE BATTLE FOR MAJOR LEAGUE
FLAG CAUSES TROUBLE IN n. |.
Many Magnates Accuse Owner Of Giants Of Attempting
to Buy Pennant and Action Is Unpopular With the
Fans; Purchase Of High Class Men From Other
Clubs Is All in the Game, However, and It Goes


NEW YORK, Aug 2s.-The merry
N magnates Of the major leagues
used to be very chubby.
Time was when they paned around
srm in arm, so to speak, and man
aged to get along quite fraternally.
But evidently that time has passed.
The chubby feelings among the
mags and managers This year has ap-
parently been affected by the hed-hot
fight in both leagues to recoup war
time losses at the turnstile.
Many Deals Made.
At any rate, though many deals
have been made, and some Of them
surprising deals. to say the least
the individual clubs are striving to
out-Harurn each other; TO bolster
their entries here and there without
regard or say about it This is pure
y business-and business, TO say the
least
Certain club owners in the M
tionai League have yelped and
hollered lang ard loudly because
the Giants put across mid-season
deals which strengthened the
NcGraHT lineup considerably. Yet
eeaek club has the same chance IL

there to get n player who is need
ed to keep its team in the run
ming.
The New York club. Of course, has
plenty of money to spend. Manager
McGraw has alNa avs had a full purse
to draw from, ard the records Of
deals for a number Of years show
that he has never hesitated TO open
the pursestrings. Yet McGraw has
played no favorites in the manner
Of deals. He has dealt with every
club in the league at some time or
other and that club has generally
been satisfied
Giants Not Popular.
New York's apparent effort to buy
a pennant" was not calculated to be
a highly popular move with the fans
in Cincinnati, Chicago or Pittsburg-
and it wasn't But the fans around
the league said many unkind things
about the Cubs when they bought
Alex and Killifer. It is always that
way
If the rival magnates want to
keep John McGraT from creating
market for himself when he
needs market to- go to they
ought to make him hunt else
where for players. It's all in the
game, and for that matter the
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1919-08-23

majority of National League clubs
have either made or attempted to
make deals at one time or another
this season. The Cincinnati cl1bs
for instance, combed the baseball
market from end to end for an
Outfielder and would have given
big money for the right player.
In the American League the Carl
Nays case brought out the fact that
the club owners are watching each
other with jealous eyes. No less than
four clubs went after Carl Nays.
When the Tanks landed him a big
howl went up from several American
League clubs and the fans in their
cities. Again, it's all in the game
Many Big Purchases.

thirty ball players Of known caIbre
to change uniforms havo proved sat

the president repeated the phrases
