ARCHDEACON IS
SH|F TED To
ORIOLES
Jack Dunn. Anxious for Play
or, Gives White Sox First
Call on HE Squad

Maurice Archdeacon, considered
the fastest man in baseball firm
home plate to first base. has failed
again to make the pig league grade
and has been turned over to the
Baltimore Orioles by the Chicago
white Sox. Failing with the
Yankees, Archdeacon played such
fine ball in the international
League that he was bought at a
fancy price by the White Sox. He
never lived UP TO expectations.
In taking Archdeacon from the
Chicago White Sox Jack Dunn has
departed from an almost ironclad
policy, for the outfielder is simply
farned to Baltimore-put out, as
they, say, under optional agreement.
This means that the White Sox
may exercise their option and take
Archdeacon at the end of the sea-
son for the amount Dunn and Col
1ins agreed upon. Some major
leaguers think Archdeacon never
win be q star In the higher ranks,
30 It Is possible that the White Sox
might not exercise their option. On
the other hand, any other club, un-
der those circumstances, could draft
the player.
Dunn was so desperate that he
even agreed to give the Chicago
White Sox an option on any player
on his team at the close OF the
season. OF course, he reserved the
right to set his price, but the
white Sox will have first call.

thing unspeakable.
Ever since, the writer has escaped
Mrs. Claws accusing eye; but,
driven into a corner, he was forced
to say he was sorry. All Mrs.
CLAWS said (proving that she was
a gentlewomanl, was: No matter

that's that.

George.
Horgan tells some interesting
stories Of the play at Lido. Three
putt green's, drives that scared like
the everlasting bullet, approaches
that were almost holed out, and
brides from way off the green
were hourly occurrences.
Horgan had a good first round,
and was, up to the last three holes
of his second round, in first-class
shape. But 4, 5, Z, ruined him. He
was trying to play the ball too
safely.

that they have not as yet shown

and unless overcome by the heat,
should hold his own. Collins hurl-
in9 choice is unknown.

the champions are not leading the

hInd the leader. Nevertheless,
