New York. Aug. eft the re-
port that Detroit paid Toronto So0.-
900 for Outfielder Wingo is true the
only comment necessary is that il paid
too much. There isn't $4,000
ball player in the international
League. However. the Detroit club
is generous in dealing with the
minors. Consider what it gave Port
land for two pitchers, yet it made on
the deal.
Major league scouts are busy now
passing final Judgment on promising
material turned up in the minorS.
There are more scouts i'll action TEAM
likely young players.
Dudley Lee. Tulsa shortstop, is
said TO be the best fielding short
stop in the minors this year. He
comes from Denver and is one OF tho
few players who is Denver home
product. He gets all over the ground
like grass and has fine arm. The
Giants have had Scout Dick Kinsella
on the road looking him over. C!her
teams besides the Giants have Deen
on the lookout for Lee if and some

such as with the st. Louis Browns.
bidding for him may be high Ociore
he is secured.
Dye Attracts Connie Mack.
Dye of the Buffalo team is attract
ing attention from the scouts. He
is left fielder, hits hard and is fast
on his feet. He might prove TO be
the right kind of player for some
big league team needing a left Fielder
and a left-hand hitter The Athletics
have had Harry Davis looking him
over. Connie Mack is determined 10
find something for the outfield that
fizzled on him in pinch. 1t may
be Strand of Salt Lake City and it
may be Dye.
No club has grabbed Wright. of
Kansas City. Pittsburg is said tc
have him tied up. He was held nj
prohibitive price but that did not
keep Pittsburg out. Dreyfuss is
determined TO pour concrete into gaps
that need it badly.
Boehler. the western pitcher VINO
failed TO make good for Pittsburg and
WIS etUl out 10 ouldnu. uiu llOl 80
for promise. The Pirates are said
to hold claim on May. Omaha's
best pitcher. May played at Van
couver last year and, while ne did
not prove that he was anything bril-
liant, he gave promise, winning II lit
tie more than half his games. Boehlcr
was not of much use 10 PittSburg on
account of sore arm. He IS ane
of those minor league pitchers WHO
puts all he has in every game he
pitches and suffers the next season.
Brooklyn Buys Infielder.
Johnson. an infielder with the *.
Petersburg team. down in Florida,
has been transferred to Brooklyn Tor
delivery in 1924 Brooklyn is badly
in need of infielders like many az
other team. Johnson is Il little light
for major league company right away.
New Iork's Giants have bought the
pitching sensation of the Appalachian
League, Red" Stoner.
Two or three clubs would like TO
do business with San Francisco Tor
Waner, the batting prodigy of the
coast, but all of them know the san
Francisco players come high and that
the men on the coast are smart
enough not to tie themselves up with
agreements by which they may get
something in the future.
Groves, the Baltimore left-hander.
is wanted by three major league
clubs. but none of them will pay them
more than $1,000 at which the player
is priced now.
