CHICAGO SOX MAY
GET GEORGE BURNS
Connie Mack Asked Waivers on
Siugger, but Later With
drew Offer ~
KINNEY GOES TO FRANKLIN

Efforts, have been made by the White
Sox, who now are in town. TO acquire
the services of George Burns. first base
man and right fielder of the Athletics.
Waivers were asked on his services
twice and each time the White SOx
declined to grant Manager Connie Mack
permission to send him TO the minors.
In each instance Mr.. Mack Withdrew
the waivers.
The White SJX are with MS today and
IL Is reasonable to suppose that Bill
Gleason will cndcavor to effect pur-
chase of the slugging first sacker.
The fact that Mack was through with
Burns broke first in Washington where
one newspaper stated that he had been
offered to Clark Griffith for the sum of
$1,000. II was said that Griffith did not
care to do business with Mack, saying
that he was we'll satisfied with Joe
Judge. It was then that Mack first
sought waivers.
White Sox Won't Waive
When he asked the other clubs to pass
cn Burns the White Sox promptly de-
clined to do so. They have youngster
Iramed Ted Jourdan operating at the
initial sack and, while he has been hit

like job Of fielding. the far sighted Glca

should be better fortified in this spot.
Hence. on his advice. the White Sox
officials said mix" to the scheme to
hunt Burns to the shorter timhcrS.
Then Mack Withdrew the waivers.
a year ago this would not have been
possible. The rule in the American
League then read that once waivers
were asked and player ives claimed he
had to 60 to the club that cravcd his
services. Last winter this was amended.
Asks Waivers Again
Mack persevered in his determination
to send Burns elsewhere and it is re-
ported. asked waivers for second time
last week. Again the Sox declined and
once more Mack is said to have with
drawn his proposition.
That's the way the matter stands to-
day. Whether or not Mack will treat
with the Chicago club on straight
deal involving cash only is not known.
Comskey has the money and plenty Of
it Il he wishes to unloosen his purse
strings. In previous times of stress he

this. Mack was noncommittal.

No. Klbane would take no chances
boxing Tender at catchwcights and no
one could hate him for it. However.
1870 pounds Is not an impossibility for
Lefty Looic, and 1t now remains for
the lattcr's manager. Phil Glassman.
TO consummatc the match. That Tend.
Ter would be strong at 13O pounds was
proved in Jersey City two weeks ago
when he weighed in at 131 pounds
