without a single deal completed since
the close of the 1882 season.
In that short time. A major league
players have changed berthS, an aver
age of 13 per cent CT the entire playing
strength of the two leagues on the
basis OF a 23-player limit for each
club.
In addition to this unprecedented
turnover, eight minor league players
have figured in deals. The Boston
Braves purchased AL Wright and Dick
Gyselman from the Missions for $780,
600 and Bill Walters, third baseman.
The Cincinnati Reds bought Clarence
Blair, former Cub infielder, from Los
Angeles, and Irving Plummer, outfield-
er, from Wilkes-Barre. The Giants
took Pitcher Bill Shores from Portland
for cash and Sam Gibson, and Short
stop John Ryan from Buffalo for In
fielder Eddie Marshall Brooklyn
bought Linus Frey, ShortStOp, from
Nashville for Earl Mattingly, a pitcher,
and cash, for 1894 delivery. The Ma
tionals dealt Harley Boss TO Cleveland.
The Giants, although Terry tore the
team apart, seem to have gained little,
while the experts agree that Washing
ton, in three deals has gained tre-
mendously in the pitching staff and
outfield.
THE Nationals, prime favorites now
i to battle the Yankees to stand
still next season, gathered III two
Of the American Leagues ranking
southpaws, Earl Whitehnl from Detroit
and Wallys Stewart from ST. Louis, and
added new right-hand strength in JACK
Russell from Cleveland to team with
Alvin CroWder and Monte Weaver.
A tremendous punch has been added
to the Washington outfield with the
return of the old favorite Goose Goslln
from st. Louis, along with Fred Schultz,
capable gardener.
On the surface the Nationals have
given up nothing vital in Sam West
and Carl Reynolds, only fair outfielders
last season, and Pitchers Fred Mar
berry. Lloyd Brown and Dick Coffman.
The Pirates served notice on the next
National League championship race
with the acquisition of Freddy Lind
strom to team with the left-handed
Waner brothers in the Pirate outfield.
The closing day Of the meetings
brought the first ray of hope and help
for the Red Sox in six-player swap
with Chicago.
