Of another revival of the Marty

a result Of reports that Miller

impatiently yesterday for word from
Huggins that the deal had gone
through but none came.
It is understood that Waite Hoyt,
righthand pitcher, has been de-
nTanded by Sisler as part payment
for McManus and that this has
held up negotiations. Aaron Ward,
local second baseman, also has been
mentioned in connection with the
deal.
