Moses Solomon Drew
Well During Short
Career

Nose Solomon has come and
gone. His big league career was
a hectic one and a short one.
Nose probably lacked the expert
ence that is necessary to make
a big Lacquer. But his two-day
showing at the Polo Grounds
proved beyond question Of doubt
the wisdom of McGraw's judg-
ment when he declared: "A Jew

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.--Ambushed
behind barricaded check books, with
fountain pens at present arms. the
New York Yankees, it developed to-
day, will make final and mayhap
successful attempt to capture, pos
sess and otherwise become better
acquainted with Eddie Collins, of
the Chicago White Sox. The at
tempt will be made at the Amer
lean League schedule meeting at
Boston on Tuesday next, and Ed
Barrow will be pinch. hitting for
Miller Higgins, who is catching
fish and mosquito rash in Florida.
Barrow, by the way of prelimi-
nary negotiations, has announced
that every man in the Yankee out
fit is subject to trade, except Babe
Ruth, Aaron Ward, Joe Dugan, and
Sam Jones.
1t is understood that Barrow
plans to. intrigue Frank Chance
with a deal on three for.two"
basis and that the trio Of Yanks in
question will number q first.string
pitcher, an outfielder and an in.
fielder. The latter is almost GER
tainly Everett Scott, the iron-clad
shortstOp, and it is probable that
the other two will be Waite Hoyt
and Bob Meusel.
In exchange, Mr.. Barrow will ask
for Collins and Johnny Mostil, an
Outfielder.
He will not, however, become un-
duly eloquent on the subject of
doyt and Meusel, until all other
Establishments and what not have

Child Believed Dead for
TIuo Years Giuen to Mother

New York.-There is joy il the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Shoe
mart and sorrow in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Vincent Fforella over one
of the strangest mix-ups of babies ever
recorded here.
For nearly two years the Shoemarts
had mourned the death at birth of
their son, born March 6, 1922. Mr..
Shoemart had paid the funeral ex-
penses. On the same date baby
was born to Mrs. Fiorella. The Fiorel-
Ia baby was the one that died, but
through an error at St. Barnabas
house, city mission. the babies were
mixed. The error was not discovered
until recently, the baby having been
cared for at ST. Barnabas house. a
charitable institution, until the moth
er was able to care for it. Then Mrs.
Fiorella wouldn't accept the child. She
said it wasn't her Joseph.
The body of the dead baby was
exhumed and now there is happiness
in the Shoemart home and grief for
the FiOrellas.
