among other things, that
the big leagues engage in an old
fashioned swapping bee as a pan
acea for base balls problems,
should feel satisfied.
A survey Of the Winters activities
reveals, that the magnates have traded
practically everything except their
franchises, and it is possible they just
haven't gotten around to that yet.
Starting before the last world series
had ended and continuing right up to
now, the diamond master minds of both
leagues have shuff1ed their talent as
never before.
only one club, the world champion
~ New York Yankees. has failed to
get in on the fun Marse Joe Nc
Carthy evidently felt he had a pretty
fair ball club as it stands, so he con-
tented himself with looking on while
the boys bartered
The first, and possibly the biggest deal
Of the lot, was that in which Connie
Mack, the sage Of Shibe Park, sent Al
Simmons, Mule Haas and Jimmie
Dykes to the Chicago White Sox for q
sum reported to be $4,000.
There was another three-day sensa-
tion when the Chicago Cubs reached
out and got Babe Herman from Gin
cinnati in exchange for four players
and bundle of cash; another when the
Giants, Pirates and Phillies threw five
players and a sum of cash into a hat
and took their choice; still another as
Washington, Cleveland and Detroit
tossed talent back and forth like Indian
clubs.
nOSSIBLY the most improved team
L in either league. as result Of its
off-season shopping is the Chicago
White Sex. Lew Fonseca will put about
so per cent stronger club in the field
than he had last September. Washing
ton also is conceded to have picked up
much strength. maybe enough to give
the Yankees a powerful run for the
1888 pennant.
While the Giants have led all other
National League teams in the volume
of used-player business, nobody seems
to have any real idea whether Bill Terry
has added strength. Bill simply operated
on the theory that any change would
be for the better, and 1t wasn't minor
operttion.
For those fans who would like to
know where this or that player will be
hanging up his uniform the coming
season, we append Est of the more
