IN FARM" CHAIN
Agreement With Toronto Is
First of Several Club
Hopes to Effect.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

n JEW YORK, February g.
M The new owners of the
" Cincinnati Reds, ener-
getically seeking base
ball strength wherever it may
lie hidden, announced compile
ton today of negotiations with
the Toronto Maple Leafs of the
International League for a
working agreement between the
two clubs.
First big link in what General Man.
ager Larry MacPhail hopes will be a
chain of such agreements with teams
OF every base ball classification, the
agreement gives the Reds the prefer
ence in the purchase of Toronto play
ers. Cincinnati, in turn, agrees to
send its surplus playing talent to To-
ronto.
Previously the only agreement the
Reds had negotiated was with the
Bartlesville, Okla, club of the West
ern Association, but MacPhail expects
to complete another with Beckley,
w. Va, of the Middle Atlantic loop
and proceed with his plans until the
Reds have similar tie-upS with clubs
in each minor league class.
VXIHAT We are trying to do is
" to build up system as
quickly and cheaply as We
can" MacPhail explained
1t was pointed out that the Reds
general manager, through his work as
a foot ball official, had extensive per-
sonal connections throughout Big
Ten Conference territory. His plans,
If they mature, include a scouting
system whereby the Reds will have a
good Judge Of base ball talent in uni
verslty towns watching promising in
tercollegiate players as well as sand
lot performers during the Summer
season.
MacPhail and Powell Crosley, jr,
millionaire manufacturer who was
elected president of the club on Sun
day. have spent hours in negotiation
with Branch Hickey, generalissimo of
of the ST. Louis Cardinal farm system,
and Manager frankie Frisch in an
effort to reach a basis for trading,
but SO far without luck The Reds
are ready to do business with any
club in the league If MacPhail
and his associates think they can
strengthen the team.

.. Who are the five greatest figures

The best way to treat a simple re-

too many words
The five greatest ball players-every-
