CLEVELAND INDIANS
OFFER TURNED DOWN
Bid Of Sl2,5o0 for Pitcher Leon
ard Is Refused.
Manager Miller Higgins Turns Former
Boston Red sox HurIer over to
Tigers for $1,000 Less Than
Jim Dunn offered.

Can you imagine a ball club dispos-
ing of a pitcher for $1,000 less than
the highest bid? Well, such a thing
probably wouldn't happen in any busi-
ness other than baseball, but such is
the case of 'Dutch" Leonard. Presl-
dent Dunn of Cleveland wanted the
services of Clutch" Leonard for the
Indians. When it became known that
New York was willing to dispose of
Leonard the Cleveland magnate at once
started to angle for the services of the
star southpaw. Dunn realizes that the
one and only weak spot on his ball club
is his pitching staff. 1t has been said
that pennant-winning club must have
a crack southpaw. Working on that
theory, Dunn set out to do business
with the New York club.
Now, it so happens that Miller Hug
gins of the New York Yankees is
hopeful Of winning an American
league pennant for Gotham this year.
Higgins is a wise old owl and full
well realizes that Cleveland and Chi
eago loom up as the strongest con-
tenders, with the Boston Red Sox as
still possibility, despite the bad
start of that club. No one knew any
better than Higgins what the coming
of Leonard would do for the Cleve-
land club. It would have just about
made Cleveland the one best bet in
the American league. Higgins real
lied that he could not afford to so
strengthen the Cleveland club and
thereby jeopardize to great extent
the chances of his team.
1t is a matter of record that Jim
Dunn was willing to pay $12,500 for
the services Of Leonard. He knew
that Clutch" would get him back
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1919-08-09

several times that amount at the gate
II he made the Indians a stronger pen
nant contender, If not a winner.
Yet Frank Navin Of the Detroit club
bought Leonard for $4,000, an even
$500 less than Cleveland was willing
to pay. The Detroit club at the time
the deal was made was going poorly.
The pitching staff Of the Tigers was in
far worse shape than that Of the In
dams. New York realized it could sell
Leonard to Detroit, strengthening that
team, yet in no way lessen the chances
Of the New York club to win. A mere
