McGraw happens to be well supplied
with catchers at the present time. He
may lose one in a trade, but even then
he will retain two experienced men
and a good prospect-Earl Smith. A
New York-Boston trade is a strong
probability, but McGraw is angling for
infielders, not catchers.
Apparently Gran, is justified in
asking Gowdy to accept a reduction
in salary. Hank came home from the
war last spring hero, and while he
was basking in the limelight Grant
signed him to one-year contract at a
generous salary. He could not, of
course, offer the soldier cheap job or
trade him.
|. Whatever value Gowdy may have
had as drawing card--he was the
first big Lacquer to throw down his
tools of trade and enlist-was lost
when Hank submerged with the sor-
ry crew that represented Boston in
the National league last season. I'm
der other circumstances Gowdy might
have been a valuable man, but he just
drifted along with the Braves and
played ordinary ball.
Grant long ago determined to Clean
house" in Boston, and he has not yet
completed the job.

But have discharged any obligation

Hank what think he's worth to the

salary, perhaps, but you'd be surprised
TO know the amount. l can tell you
that it's far above what ordinary play
ers are getting. ! hope Hank will be
reasonable but If not ! can fill his
place."
Whether Gowdy remains in Boston
or not, Grant probably will acquire an
other experienced catcher. 1t is pre-.
dicted in Boston that Arthur Wilson

the event that there is swap of New

Dunbar School to
Play Friday Night

Fairmont Independents will clash
with the Dunbar High school five on
the Miller school gymnasium on Fri
day evening, the game starting at S:15.
1t promises to be one of the best con-
tests in which the Dunbar team has
taken part this season. Advance sales
for the game indicate that capacity
crowd will be on hand. The local
school was scheduled to play Clarks-
burg team on Friday night, but the
out Of town folk were forced to can
eel the game. 1t is possible that there
will be preliminary to the big game,
although no definite arrangements
have been made for THIS to date.

that frost struck Bills prize peach

framing last year and caused him n

think of 1t happening again this year
when he may not have a worlds series
