to hold forth at the far corner. and
that Bob La Motto will remain at

Dunn's Death shocks Grir.
Clark Griffith was greatly unset
when apprised of the death of his
fellow magnate, Jim Dunn, and left
last night for Chicago en- route to
Marshalltown. Iowa. to attend the
funeral. Dunn was as square as
the day is long" Griff said. :'and had
Il most engaging personality. Al
ways fairnuded. he was a real
sportsman and an able executive
Base ball can i'll afford to spare men
of his Caliber''
The death of Dunn is not expected
to change the ownership of the
Cleveland CLUB. except that his stock
probably Will pass into the hands of
his widow. Associated with Dunn as
stockholders of the Indians are the
Lane brothers and Tom walsh, rlul-
timillionaires of Marshalltown. Iowa.
Dunn's home town: iris Speaker.
manager of the tribe: Pat Mccarthy,
Dunn's Chicago partner in the con
tracing business: Charles Paguettc
of Cincinnati, and several Cleve-
landerS.
Dunn's career reads like a romance.

Even as Il rookie magnatc Dunn
earned Il :David Harum' reputation
by the clever and startling player
deals he engineered. His first act
was to land Speaker from the Boston
Red Sox for the then record price Of
$4,000, Pitcher Sam Jones and In
fielder Thomas. and he IS credited
with being one of the few ever to
best Connie Mack IN base ball trade.
This he was conceded to have done
when he shunted Bobby Roth, the
diamonds greatest wanderer, to the
Athletics for Third Baseman Larry
Gardner. Outfielder Charley Jameson
and Pitcher Elmer Myers. Roth
didn't stick season before Mack
was glad to unload him on the Ma
tionais and now he is out of the big
leagues altogether. after having been
on every team in the circuit. except
the Browns and Tigers. Jameson
developed into one, of the niftiest
picket men in the majors, while
Gardner rounded out the Indians in
winning the world championship two
years ago.
