Nick Allen, the Reds third catcher. is
said to have struck it rich in oil with
Rebel Oakes, formerly a capable out

the money he had. and it has yielded huge
returns. story from Cincinnati says
that Aliens share is now near $500, 600
while Oakes is reputed to be a millionaire
Pat Duncan, left fielder. has signed his
1920 contract with the Reds. Duncan took
Rube Bressler's place in the Cincinnati
outfield toward the close of the season
and played twenty-seven games. He
proved steady. though not brilliant. and
batted with timely effect. He held up his
end in the worlds series surprisingly we'll
considering his comparative inexperience
With Clark Griffith's positive statement
that Bobby Roth would not be traded to
the Yankees. but would remain with the
Senators, another rumor bubble has been
burst.
One year ago the majority OF baseball
critics were conceding the pennant to the
Giants: now they are wondering whether
the New York club or the Cubs will be the
runner-up TO the Reds next season.
It has been suggested that Ban johnson
and his five supporting club owners could
take slap at the Yankees and Babe Ruth
by passing a rule that all hits into the
right field stand be limited to two bases.
Baltimore is sure to he one of the five
stop-off stations of the Yankees and
Dodgers on their way North from train
ing camp. Fans of the Maryland capital
where Babe Ruth played before he be-
came a major Lacquer, are anxious to see
the home run king in action. and the Bal
timore club is sure to bid high for the
game. The contest probably will take the
place of the Red Sox-Giants game that

GIANTS RELEASE BAIRD.

Al Baird, who played in thirty-eight
games for the Giants last season. has been
released to the Rochester club of the
international League. The youngster
covered second base and short in promis-
ing style last season, and it is rather sur
prising that the rest OF the major league
clubs were willing 10 waive tLeir rights
to him. Baird had batting average OF
.24f. which was nothing startling. but his
fielding left little TO be desired He came
to the New York club i'm the spring of
1917. but had little opportunity to get into
the game until last season, when both
Doyle and Fletcher were temporarily in
