There's plenty of baseball
gossip going around these days
One hardly knows where to
commence to tell it. Freddy
Lindstrom is sorry he didn't re-
ceive the National Leagues most
valuable player award because
he had promised the American
Legion baseball league he would
donate the $1,000 award to it.
in case he was selected.
Last summer when it was
becoming evident that Freddy
was q prospect for the leagues
most valuable player, the Giants
third baseman happened to dis
cuss the matter with q riend.
You know winning that award
would be such great honor
would. not want the money
said LindstrOm. Don't mention
it to anybody, but if ! am lucky
that's one grand which is going
to worthy cause.
The American Legion base
ball league, which takes such an
interest in getting boys enthused
over the game, would be the one
/ would pick. They are doing
great work"
Looking over the record of
Johnny Prudhomme, the Toronto
right handler, obtained by Bucky
Harris for his 1923 edition of
the Detroit Tigers, it iss more
and more apparent Bucky got
himself something of a find
Prudhomme first attracted at
tention a year ago last summer
and many teams were on his
trail, including the New York
Yankees. However, the Leafs
would not part with him until
he was a finished product and
would command real coin--which
he ultimately did.
In Prudhomme's record one
finds two no-hit, noirun games,
the most recent one coming
last August against the Jersey
City team. His previous SINH
lar effort occurred in the season
of 1927, also in August, Read
ing being the victim. Last
summer his wins were IS, with
ID defeats, his club finishing
third in the international
League. Five of Prudhomme's
victories were shut-outs, SO in
deed he appears to be quite a
prospect for the reyamped
Tigers.
Of the 100000 which Detroit
is reported to have paid for
Prudhomme and Dale Alexan-
der, the heavy hitting Toronto
first baseman, however, the
bulk of the money, at. least
$65,000 is supposed to have
gone for Alexander. This fact
in itself is one Of the best
arguments in the world the
Class "A leagues can present
against the unrestricted draft,
as Alexander would have
brought only $500 to Toronto's
Golfers, had he been a draftee.
Fans doK't know whether to
