ny DANIEL.

That the Yankees arc negotiating
for the services of Eddie Collins would
not be denied by Col. Huston and
Miller Huggins at the offices OF the
club yesterday afternoon. They ADDED
that It had been settled that Jake May,
the left handler from Vernon OF the
Pncinc Coast League, would come to
the New Yorks. but that no agree
ment had been reached with A. Maier'
owner of the vernons. as to wnicn
Yankees would be transferred TO the
Coast outfit Vernon wants no Gasp
1t demands players.
Huggins was loath to discuss the
Collins affair. He was ready 10 taiK
about every other topic-never men
tioninr any names When 1t was sug-
rested to him that Collins would be
accompanied by Dick Kerr. the south
paw, Higgins would say nothing. you
know that Kerr is under Suspension
and Judge Landis ~ ask him TO re-
main out of the game for the season
Of 1928. The status of Kerr for the
coming year is altogether IN DOUBT
declared Huggins-in the meahtinie
not denying that Kerr would look
mighty attractive In the UNIFORM Oh
the Yankees.

ct hear that In some quarters we are

That is not so. We came close to get
ting yeach from the Tigers last winter:
but since then we have not consiaereo
any deal for him. We want a hard MT
ting man out there--a man VINO can
throw. knows where to throw and can

"As for the May case-he's coming to

been arranged. but we have yet to agree
with Mr.. Mailer as to who Is 10 30 10

ton of promising young athletes VINO
could help Vernon a great deal May
always had a lot Of stuff and he found
himself last season. He should help us
a great deal next year and plug up that
big gap in the pitching staff A lett
handler should prove OF great value 10
us-particularly q winning lefthander'
as May promises to be-"
Huggins evaded the question when
utizzed about the status OF Carl Mays
and Bob Meusel. He declared that he
would have 20 get a great deal In re-
turn if Mays were traded and passed
up the Meusel proposition altogether.
The impression exists that IL the deal
for Collins Is arranged. Ward will be
accompanied to Chicago by Lanlxy Bob.
Johnny Mostil or Bib Falk. White Sox
outfielders. are mentioned as likely
transfers to New York.
Huston Denies Nothing.
Col. Huston said OF the Collins story:
"I will neither deny nor affirm. Col
Inns Is an estimable young man. / hear.
There seems to be a general impression
that he would help the Yankees.
will neither deny nor affirm that either"
Huggins and Ed Barrow went up to
take q look at the new stadium OF the
Yankees. 1t was Huggins's first view of
the plant and the progress which had
been made astounded him. The park is
almost finished. for the mild weather has
fayoreu the builders greatly. The own
ers of the Yankees will lead the entire
meeting of the American League into
The Bronx TO look at the park on Thurs
day or Friday.
Among those who will take a trip
10 Yankee Field this week Is Law
renee Solman, owner OF the Toronto
club of the International League. Sol
man, who arrived here yesterday. Is
planning a new park In Toronto and
wants to get some ideas here. For
many years the Maple Leafs have played
on the Island, which necessitates quite
trip by ferry. Soman intends TO ouiid
a new plant on the city side.
