DOUBTFUL COLOR
Status of Pitcher Kerr May
EaEk Transfer of Collins

Bp United Neos

NJ Cutb6u NeWS
NEW YORK. Dec. 14.~The Eddis
Collins deal which has kept Peacock
Alley In passion Of uncertainty for
a week now seems to be further of
than on. owing to Capt. Till Huston's
withdrawal from the ownership Of the
New York Yankees.
1t has been rather expected that the
famous veteran second baseman, star
OF the champion Athletics and White
Sox, would be haltered and led into a
Yankee stall for the winter. But
when the deal did not officially mate
rialize Wednesday the doubt grew
large that Collins will ever Join the
present champions of the American
League.
Ii is understood that Huston was
the more liberal spender Of the
Yankee owners, and now that Col
Jake RUPERT is in sole command OF
the treasury, the spending is expected
to shrink. For Eddie Collins andz
Dick Kerr, the left-handed PITCHED
who probably faces a year In idle
ness as an outlaw, Charles A Com
iskey of the White Sox wanted Aaron
Ward. the Yanks' second baseruar. a.
pitcher and a large helping Of money.
Now 1t appears that Judge Lands
intends to hand Kerr the customary
year on the side lines for his profess
sionaI outlawry and this dimintsheS
the chances of the trade.
RumOrs still permeate the at
mosphere Of Peacock Alley to the eff
feet that Huston intends to buy either
the Brooklyn Dodgers or the Red Sox.
