The Washington times., 1923-12-11


Collins might become a Yankee.
Higgins was naturally susceptible
to the lure of Collins name, but the
point was that the Sox desired
pitchers and Higgins had no mind
to part with the same.
Ty Cobb also entertained an idea
that he would like to have Collins
as q member of the Detroit Tigers
Cobb, however, had little to offer
beyond outfielders and the Sox are
not in the market for this particular
commodity
Cobb was also said to be casting
eyes upon Urban Shocker of the
Browns. Here again Cobb was
handicapped by the fact that he
wished to talk in terms Of outfield-
ers and the Browns had small ideas
of entertaining any trades which
would not deal with pitchers.
The National Board of Arbitra-
ton which wrangled all day yes
terday over what may or may not
be done about WiIliams-McC arthy
presidential controversy in the.
Pacific Coast League, was to 60
back to its irons at o'clock this
afternoon. 1t was believed there
was q good possibility that q de-
cisiOn might be reached.
This little tempest is having an
effect elsewhere than in the minds
Of the well-known gladiators for
the position. The Salt Lake City
club would like to sell Paul Strand,
outfielder, to the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, but they are unable to do
30 until they find out who is going
to be boss Of the Coast outfit. The
deal might not be acceptable to the
new president or the old one as the
case may be.
There are reports that Ty Cobb
wants to take second baseman
Jimmy Dykes from the Athletics
in trade, but you can hear almost
anything If you sit still enough.
The rumor this time says that the
purchase of Bishop from Baltimore
yesterday by the Athletics is one
step of the deal for Dykes.
Joe Boley, the Baltimore short
stop, whose sensational playing a
year ago attracted great attention.
has been flung gracefully into the
market by the famed Jack Dunn,
but he is not having the slightest
difficulty In fighting off the bid
ders.
u was made known in q round
about way that the White SOx
had been approached and offered
BoIey for $780, Frank Chance,
new manager Of the SOX, is
was done. Harry Gardiner, Sec
small chance Of a deal being
made.
The American League and Ma
tional League will meet again today, |
but small business is expected. The
great powwow will be held tomor- |
row in the joint session.
Listeners are still sure they will |
hear something involving Rogers |
Hornsby.
Connie Mack is said to be willing |
to give Harry Riconda, third base !
man; Bob Hasty, pitcher, and WEIGH |
and French, outfielders, to Salt |
Lake in exchange for Paul Strand, |
but he can do so only il the Pa |
cific Coast League accepts the |
draft.
Lefty Leifield, for several years
coach of the Browns pitchers, has
signed in the same capacity with I!
the Boston Red Sox.
George Sisler will not play next |
season and the Browns are looking
for a capable first sacker.
Ty Cobb is trying to land Bill
vTambsganss, the Cleveland second
sacker, and has made an almost
unbelievable offer He would turn
over to Speaker Bobby Veach. Ray
Francis, Rip Collins and Bob Foth-
ergill for Wamby.
Joe Judge may be traded by
Washington, the crack little first
baseman being dissatisfied with his
berth, according to rumors. How
ever, Clark Griffith denies this,
Believe it or not.
