THE BROWN CASE.

The BKOWN CASE.
1t is evident that Joe Tinker,
president of the Columbus A. A.
club, is trying to do all he can to
adjust the differences between his
outfit and the Islanders. Weekend
dispatches from Tinker indicate
that he is almost ready to part
with Pitcher George McQuillen.
former pitching phenom with the
Pirates, Braves and Phillies, who
is still in high class form and who
should win all the games he would
be called upon to pitch in an Is
lander uniform.
Tinker was first to break the ice,
offering McQuillen to the Islanders
at fat price. President Mueller's
first reply was that the only prop
osition the Islanders could enter
tain would be for Tinker to turn
McQuillen over to them without
cost and save the Columbus and
| Peoria clubs tedious court action.
