Otto Knabe Has Blues Going
at Top Speed in A. A.
Race.
HENLINE DEAL CLOUDED

Otto Knabe's hustlinR X. c. Blues
were here today to open - big series with
the Indians and at the rate the bat
wieldsrs from the Raw have been go
ing recently, it will take a big effort on
the part OF the Hoosiers II Tne Missouri
athletes are to be tripped up while in
this city
The Blues only recently knocked
much Ot[the CO ,kiness out Of the leadin g
Colonies and now the 4. A. dOpesters
are thinking seriously OF coming out
with prediction that the Blues and not
the Colonels viii win the pennant. II
was the Blues that started the Indians
on the down grade recently and the
Iribesmen hardly have recovered from
the shock
AT any rate the Hendricksmen mean
q give the best they have against the
K. c. sluggers and the fans are sure
20 see plenty OF action. Bunny Brief.
Eddie ZwilliHg. Wilbur Good and other
X. c. Pr uiBents are pounding the ball
ct a great rate, but the Washington Park
fences are some distance out and these
hitters viii find plenty Of trouble get
ting extra base clouts. Clint Royce was
the probable Tribe pitcher for this after
noon. with HenIine behind the bat.
Henllne has been included IN 8 New
York Philadelphia deal by which Butch
and Outielder Walker go to the PhiIlies
In exchange for Emil Aeusel, heavy hit-
ting fielder. few DAYS ago il was re-
ported that Meusel had been suspended
By Manager Donovan for not keeping in
shape. but It's a 100-sO-l shot that he will
be found IN shape when be dObs a New
York Uniform. John MCGraw certainly
knows how TO fool EN- when he wants
& star that happens TO he playing with
another club. He failed 10 get Heinie
Groh from the Cincy Reds, so ii is sp-
parent that he used & different system
when he decided to 90 after Meusel. Also,
It's about a 10-to-1 shot that GrOh will
be traded to the Giants next winter. It's
hard 10 prevent McGraw from getting
what he wants.
Henline was traded by Indianapolis 10
New York last winter for Baird, Sicking
KinseIIa and Dixon, and then was re-
turned here under an optional agreement
with the proyisO that he couiJ be re-
called by the Giants in the fall.
Now It seems that the Phillies can
force HenIine TO report wherever they
choose to call In the hopes Of prevent
Ing this President Smith. Sr.. has gone
East for a conference with the Giants
and Phillles. Manager McGraw of the
Giants wired here today that he was at
tempting TO replace Henline. Vice Presi-
dent Smith, JF-. and Manager Hendricks
also viii go East tonight in search of
players.
Young Smith aud Hendricks will visit
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati They hope
10 arrange matters in a way that will
cAaule neHAlle TO remain mere until the
close Of the season Otherwise they will
try 70 land Catcher CASTOR Of the Giants
or Peters or Wheat Of the Phillies to fill
the erneI gency-
Outfelder MeuseI, whom the Giants
get IN the Walker Henline deal, IS
a brother Of Ray Meusel Of the
New York Americans. Both are long
distsnce swatters and II will be a rare
treat for Gotham fans 10 see one Meusel
with the Yanks and another member Of
the same family with the Giants.
