dorf Corridors.
BY DANIEL.


Never before in the history of major
league meetings was there a jam such
as crowded the corridors and lobby OF
the Waidorf-Astoria yesterday, and
never before were there SO many stories
of trades. Miller Higgins and Frank
Navin. owner OF the Detroit club. were
on the scene and had quite talk. But
they accomplished nothing tangible. as

Joined him The great Tyrus will be

would be dragged into a triangular deal
with the Yankees and the Tigers. How
ever that one best bet of ours still
stands-Ehmke and Veach for the
Yankees and Mitchell, Collins and an
other player for the Tigers.
The Giants were xuiescent for the
day. but the Dodgers were right on the
job. Wilbert Robinson came up from
Maryland to take charge of negotiations
which he hopes will strengthen his
forces. He admitted that Charley Eb-
bets had placed Zack Wheat on the mar

fielder go. We need an infelder, but
am doing no business with Branch

Phiilies to trade four st. Louis pitchers

hard to land last summer.
George Gibson, manager or the
Pirates. and Bill Killefer, leader OF
the Cubs, were in conference for while
on q trade of infielders. The Pirates
want Chuck Deal. the third baseman.
and Killcfer wants to let him go. But
the Pirates do not want to give up
Tierney. the second sacker, and Killefer
will not trade unless he gets him;
Tierney may become a Cub to-day, and
that would mean Deal on third and
Traynor on second for Pittsburgh next
season.
Barney Dreyfuss said that he had no
trade on for Rabbit Maranville and
Rickey added that he had no negotia-
tions with Barney involving. Milton
