Although the club prexy will
not give out any information on
the subject-who he is after, or
with what club he is dickering-
latest reports from Chicago today
offer the idea that Carl Reynolds,
the fleet-footed right-handed hit
ting outfielder of the Chicago
White Sox, may come here in a
deal for Buddy Myer, second base
man of the Griffmen.
The Sox, it is disclosed from
the report, are after infielders 20
strengthen their team, and are
pretty sweet on Myer. feeling that
he would be just the man to plug
a certain gap at second base
which has been weak spot ever
since Eddie Collins finished his
course at that station.
Reynolds On Block
The Sox have put Reynolds on
the block, feeling that they are
well fortified in the outfield with
Smead Jolley, Johnny Watwood,
Bruce Campbell, Willis Norman
and Manager Lou Fonseca on
hand, and have been said to be
willing to part with Reynolds II
an infielder or two could be
secured in return.
Getting Reynolds may be the
right handed hitting outflelder
idea Griff has had in mind all
this winter, It certainly seems
logical he would try and get him
if the Sox are so willing to let
him go, even though it would
cost him the loss of Buddy Myer.
Griff leaves for various and
sundry baseball meetings next
week. Next Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, he will be at West
Baden, Indiana, for the annual
minor league meeting.
Meetings Listed
The following Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday, or December
s. 9 and 10, to be exact, he will
be in Chicago. On December 8
is listed the session for the
American League magnates. The
following day the National League
representatives will get together
The annual joint meeting of the
two circuits will take place on
December 10.
1t is at these meetings where
many deals are begun, actually
made right there, or completed
several weeks later. If Griff has
any thought of acquiring Reyn-
olds it's a pretty safe contention
that he'll begin negotiations
while in Chicago.
Thus, will bear out the first
of the lone or two interesting
announcements" the chieftain in
timated he would make in a
conversation with him shortly
after the 1881 baseball season
ended last September.

copies of these grants, together with
100000 trade mark, $4,000 design and
$4,000 prints and label grants.
Regarded Most Valuable.
Among these will be the original filing
papers Of what is considered in the
scientific world as the most valuable
patent ever issued-the electro magnet,
invented by Joseph Henry of Wash
ington, first director of the Smith
sonian Institute. Without this device,
which may be held in the palm OF one
hand. vet it has the power to lift a
ton of steel, there would be no tele-
phones, radios, magnetos, generators TO
produce electricity to light an electric
light or telegraph instruments.
Out of the steel vaults along with
the electro magnet invention will be
the celebrated incandescent electric
light patent of Thomas A. Edison; the
aged paper known as patent No 4,
issued to Francis Bailey on January

to Eli Whitney, issued March IA, 1874,
for his cotton gin invention, and other
famous inventions.
All will be boxed and shipped ac-
