TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. T.
The Louisville Colonies are going tt
have Dudley Branom, star first
baseman, back with them next sea-
son, it was announced at the base
ball convention here today. Bran
ON was drafted by Detroit, but the
Tigers told the Colonel bosses he
would be returned.
Louisville also announced a star
third baseman would be obtained
to round out a great infieId with
Branom, Sticking and Olivares. Two
outf1elders also are being sought.
Meyer With MilIers
Mike Kelley. Minneapolis pilot
signed Biyy Myer, former Louisville
manager and catcher, and Meyer
will help the Millers behind the bat
as well as act as coach and assist
ant manager.
st. Paul offered to sell Outfielder
Bruno Haas to Louisville, but the
Colonies passed him up and the
veteran is now on the market, ac-
cording to President Connery of the
Saints.
Hargrave as Manager
1t is said the Saints will obtain
Catcher Bubbles Hargrave from
the Cincinnati club and appoint
him manager to succeed Nick AL
len, who was released some time
ago. Allen is dickering With Nash
vile and Syracuse.
It is said Pitcher Paul Zahniser
or Pitcher Walter Belts will go to
Cincinnati in the Hargrave deal.
Hargrave was star with st.
Paul eight years ago and is very
popular in the Apostle city.
The honor of making the biggest
deals of the minor league conven-
ton goes to Indianapolis and To-
ronto. The Leafs sold Alexander
and Prudhomme to Detroit for
players and a large sum of cash
and indianapolis sold Pitcher Swe-
tonic to Pittsburgh in a similar
transaction.
It is said the Hoosiers will get
the biggest part of ball club for
their ace hurler. The sum of money
involved was not announced and
President Perry even denied the
deal had been closed, but other
baseball men here said there was
no question about it.
1t is true, however, that Ownie
Bush doesn't know if he can get
waivers on all the players demanded
by Indianapolis.
The fact that Detroit got Dale
Alexander from Toronto led the
Tigers to inform the Colonies Bran
ON would be returned. Alex is a
good first sacker and a terrific hit
ter.
Emil Yde. stalwart southpaw with In
annapolis is wanted by the Chicago Cubs
ana another club, unnamed, but probably
Cincinnati. The Reds missed out in their
enortS 10 draft Yde. At one time the past
season the Cubs were hot after Emil and
1t is believed the subject has been re-
opened.
The Indianapolis contingent left Tor
onto, Perry, Thursday night and the others
today. Thu Tribe president went to Chi
e Gg and Manager Bethel to his home at
riden and Harold IreIau, Quincy business
manager, departed for indianapolis. Walter
Hoike, new Quincy pilot, left for St. Louis
Outfielder Koenecke, of the Indians. will
be transferred to Quincy for further sea-
Sonlng, IL was reported. He was pur-
chased from Moline late the past season
and finished out the race with the Tribe.
BY a vote of is to 8, Chattanooga won
the 1923 big minor convention over West
after the pow-wow for several years. West
Baden probably will land the convention
in 1880.
Kansas City sold OutfieIder Frank VIII
son to the Milwaukee Brewers at the
waiver price.
Manager Bethel of the Indians an
nounced Shortstop Warstler would not be
sold or traded. All the Tribe bosses de-
sire to keep the lad around another
season.
Barney (Mikel Kelly of Indianapolis, who
has managed Spartanburg several years.
may get the pilot bert at Mobile in the
Southern Association, Glass A. Mike is
negotiating with Spartanburg for his
release.
Guy Sturdy, with st. Louis Browns and
Milwaukee the past season, has been sold
to Birmingham. Buffalo sold Maurice
ArchdeacOn, speedy Outfielder, to Atlanta

baseball.
