BOY SLAIN and
HIDDEN IN tub
Crushed With Club; Policd
Search for Tall, Dark
Youth
LAST SEEN PLAYING
WITH STRANGER

NEW YORK. Dec. 20 Omitted
Press).-A murder rivalling thd
Ruth Cruger case has been brought
to light today with discovery OF tho
body Of Gilbert Bein. age S, in a tub
in the cellar OF his fathers tailor
shop on the East Side.
The child's skull had been crush.
ed with blows from a club. Police
are searching for a dark, tall youth
with whom Max Bein, the father
says his little boy was playing witt
just before he was killed. The
slayer is believed to have placed tn,
child in the tub and then struck hin
with the club, afterward placing tn,
I'D on the tub and calmly watkins

The only parallel to this case o,
police records is the Ruth Cruge
mystery. In that instance little Rutl
Cruger was slain by a degenerate
Italian and her body buried in hi
basement where it was found week
later.
According to Max Bein the las

child was playing in the yard witt

Lee Fohl Explains His Eleucn- for One Trade

hour. While we were sitting there
our conversation was interrupted al
least fifty times by some player,
manager or official, who either
joshed or inquired about the ex-
traordinary trade.
What is the idea OF givig a ball
club and a couple OF substitutes for
a pitcher who has had his chance? ?"
was the question thar was constant
ly fred at Fohl
The st. Louis manager simply
smiled at all the hot shot that was
poured at him and usually re-
marked: 'Yes, and 1 have eleven
more players whom l will be will
ing to give for any other one pitcher
that 1 believe will help my club"
The deal involving Danforth is
unquestionably one of the most
unique ever made in baseball. Often
three or four players and cash have
been handed over for one player,
but to turn over a whole team and a
couple OF extra men certainly was
out Of tte ordinary.
The peculiar feature about the
transaction is that neither club
seems to have been gold-bricked.
The st. Louis club, however. is TAX
ing by far the longer chance. 1t is
a deal filled with possibilities for
both clubs. Unquestionably it was a
whale Of a deal for Manager Row
land OF Columbus
Rowland gets Palmero, left
handed pitcher with plenty Of stuff.
If Palmero had confidence in him
self he would be a big league star.
Evening journal., 1921-12-22

He lacks that in the majors. He
minors. He should help Rowland.
Aside from his pitching he can hit.
is a good fielder and fast on the
bases, a handy man to have about.
Lowdermilk, another pitcher with
a world of stuff, goes to Rowland.
Lack OF control has always kept
Lowdermilk from making good in
the majors. He gets by in fine style
in the minors. He has so MUCK stun
batters hate to hit against him. In
stead of waiting him out in the
minors, they swing away to hurry
their time at bat.
Burwell, If he had just a little
more speed, would be a big league
fixture. He pitches intelligently,
has plenty of nerve and good
curve, but his fast ball lacks just
enough to enable him to get by in
the big show. In the minors he
ought to go big.
Gleason, the second baseman, is a
mighty valuable ball player. The
other men who will figure in the
deal are players of this type. They
lack just something that keeps
them from delivering in the big
show.
Manager Fohl of the st. Louis
club gives the major league view
point vixen he says: "If Danforth
can win twelve games ror me, it will
have been a good deal. The play
ers l have given for him could not
be counted on to deliver that many
victories"
