pne is asking about them by long
distance telephone. 1t is surmised
that the catcher who might be. per-
mitted to wander elsewhere-say st.
Louis. or Philadelphia. or some town
like ehat-is Gowdy.
Mitchell is not pining to permit any
one of the three to get away, and he
can't see why he should be tied up In
a swap that hasn't something in 1t
for Boston.
1t Mitchell really figures that he has
a chance to win the championship he
ia as foolish to think of letting good
Giants would be.
Times Have Changed.
There was a time when Gowdy did
not stand so high in the good graces
Of the Boston sachem as he might.
The first year that Gowdy got back
from the war he was full Of independ-
enee. He was prone to object when
things did not go just to suit him and
some of his objections were carried
TO headquarters. and suggestions
were made that Gowdy would better
try to please his little club more in
1920 than he had in 1919.
The catcher seems to have lived
through it, but he never has played
quite such good base ball for Boston
as he did in the buncombe year OF 1914,
and If he went elsewhere, especially
to some team like st. Louis, where
they think they have an hopest-te-
goodness CHANGE to win IN 1879. It
might make a new catcher out OF him.
