TALENT
MiIlion-donar Checking Ac-
count Attracts One
s. Busher.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-R-
Money talks, goes the ancient proverb,
but its voice in the corridors Of base
ball here this week has been hushed
to q mere whisper by e1orbitant prices
placed upon major league talent.
President William L. Week Of the
Cubs, who came here with William
wrigley,s "miilion-dollar checkbook,
to strengthen the Chicago club, to-
day was almost prepared to accept de-
feat. The best he was able to an
nounce was the purchase of a minor
league outfielder-Clyde Beck of the
Los Angeles club in the Pacific Coast
League.
FOIL OFFERS ALL.
Word was passed around that Lee
Foil Of the Boston Red Sox had shot
every one of his players into the
market without a response.
Leo Hartnett, catcher, wanted by
John McGraw from the Cubs, is not
for sale, says President Week.
Art Fletcher, manager of the Phil
lies, has been racing from hotel to no
tel for three days, offering Jimmy
Ring, pitcher, and Butch Henline,
catcher. The other managers are only
sympathetic.
GRIMES FOR SALE.
wilbert Robinson of Brooklyn would
sen Burleigh Grimes, veteran right
handler, but the price is too high and
Grimes salary too bulky.
Every club in the majors appears
inclined to trade. says Week. but not
a single big deal has been started.
