than ice cream money for the players:
Things do not look as bright and

the Orioles will win the champlonsnlp
there may not be any little world

to get Bentley? That's the next ques-

Dunn to set a figure on ball player
it is equivalent to asking him to sell
a producing gold mine.
Big Leaguers Are Interested.
There is not team in the 1nterna-

because the price is away beyond the
pocketbooks of Dunn's partners In

Rickey might have bid for him for the

has no one who is competent to play
first base il Fournier is injured and
as Hickey really thinks he has q

championship in 1922 he would like
to feel that he has fortified first base.
Envious eyes are cast on Ogden, a

likely to get away from Baltimore.
