Yankees Want Markle:
Protest Wired Lands

That the Yankees do not intend to
rel1nqulsh their claim to the services
OF pitcher Cliff Markle, became evident
yesterday afternoon when the manage
ment of the local club wired to Judge
Lands, high commissioner Of baseball,
protesting against the use of the
twirler by the Cincinnati Reds.
Markle, who was beaten by the
Giants yesterday, was recently obtained
by the Reds from the Atlanta club, of
the Southern Association, but the
Yankees contend that he is still their
property under the usual optional
agreement. Markle was a member Of
the Yanks some years ago. He pitched
several games but was soon sent back
to the minors.
