BEARS WANT AUSTIN.

The Mobile Bears have been MAX
ing a desperate effort to secure
Jimmy Austin, veteran infielder, of
the st. Louis Browns, to manage
the Bruins for next season, and
made Jimmy an attractive offer
which he would have liked to accept
except for the fact that waivers
could not be secured on him in the
major leagues.
Jimmy is veteran, but still ranks
with the leading first-line men in
the big tent.
He has had many offers by minor
league clubs for managerial posi-
tons. but. as he can't get out OF
the majors, he'll stick to the
Browns.
