BIG TRADE RUM0RED
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE

NEW YORK, May BASE ball fol-
lowers of Greater New York today
discussed the possibility Of two deals
involving the Brooklyn. New York and
Boston National League clubs.
The proposed transfers hinged on
the willingness OF Manager Bancroft
of the Braves TO part with two pitch
ers-Rube Marquard to the Robins in
exchange for Infielder Milton Stock
and one or two pitchers, and Joe Gene
witch to the Giants in exchange for
Third Baseman Groh.
Base ball men here considered that
either Groh or Stock would add much
needed strength to the Boston inner
defenses. while neither veteran would
be sadly missed, owing to the brilliant
playing of Lindstrom at third for the
Giants and the improvement Tierney
has made in the Brooklyn infield since
he replaced Stock.

Huggins concluded that signs of dis

sensation in their stumachs, and that
action to prevent them from thinking
about steaks instead of base hits was
necessary for the welfare of the club.
