MANAGER CORRIDEN Of the
IF1 local A. A. entry has twenty
nine players on the roster, but it's
a good guess a few Of the diamond
tossers will be cut loose before

diction. Here is the complete list
filed away in Corriden's desk in the

listened to his plea for another trial
and answered okay. He win be

Atter Reese for treatment and was
lie to convince the Indians he feels
sttong enough to be Of service. His
arm refused to respond last season

FITS a laugh the way the Pacific
L Coast League is acting up in the
draft controversy. The latest hooey
from California is the suggestion
for the Glass AA leagues to become
independent and to elect a com
missioner of their own and invest
him with the same powers as Judge
Lands. Thereupon California sug-
gests that William Mccarthy OF
California be given the job.
BROOKLYN bosses put a fast one over o.
Babe Herman and he was heard yelling
from coast TO coast. It was one OF the
noisiest transcontinental yells of base
ball history He was offered $4,000 for
next season. a boost of $1,000 over his
1880 contract He rejected the offer and
demanded $4,000. The officials then o.
fered him $4,000. which he refused. This
disturbed the bosses and as Joke they
mailed him a contract at the old figures
$4,000.
Did Herman shout Becoming hot. under
the collar and indignant. Babe told friends
f fnd I Rob BseSS wanted N aI to cut p him
after hitting 1898 last season. AS q m az ooo
of fact he was offered hike Of $4,000,
but demanded $4,000.

is coaching the basketball squad
of Loyola university in the Crescent
City. He is former collegiate
campus athletic hero.
Gene Rye. outhelder bought from Waco
by the Red Sox. is the youth who smacked
three home runs in one inning during a
daffy game in the Texas League last
sezson. His 1880 homer total was thirty
six. He is short on stature and weight,
but takes a powerful cut at the plate.
Del Pratt developed him and predicts he'll
make the big league grade. Rye has been
in league ball only three years.
