DEAL WITH TAMPA CLUB
TURNED DOWN BY LOCALS

Rumors have been going round that
Bonnie Stewart" is to go to Tampa
on a deal which would bring Scott and
Son" Brown to the Highlanders.
However, the deal which was pro-
posed by the Tampa management, was
turned down by the locals and Lake
lands heavy hitting outfielder will
continue in the local line up. This
news will cause intense satisfaction
to the local fans, inasmuch as Bon
ME" has won firm place in the af-
fections of the Lakeland baseball en-
thusiasts, during the three years of
his afiiliation with the local club.
Schubert, who has been taking some
of the catching burden off Smiths
shoulders, has been released by the
local management and has been
signed by Tampa. Schubert has been
a hard worker, but with the acQuisi-
tion of Schorling, it made it necessary
to cut down on catchers, and Schu-
bert was turned loose.
With the new players in the High
landers' line up, a better brand of ball
will be displayed and Lakeland will
be serious contender during the bal
ance of the season.
