Unless every expert is wrong,
Connie Mack already has
~ salted 100000 away in the
bank and picked up three or four
new players from the Boston Red
Sox in exchange for quartet OF his
greatest stars-Jimmy Foxx, Eric NC
Nair, Roger Cramer and Johnny
Marcum.
And unless Commissioner Kenesaw
M Lands and the National League
club owners changed their minds
overnight, Charles Francis Adams.
New England sportsman, will take the
Boston Braves back from the league,
pour a lot of money into the club
and give Bob Quinn, present general
manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
the job of guiding it back to the land
of plenty.
AS Also to Get Trio.
MACK, it was unanimously agreed
A by writer's and rival owners and
managers, will announce the deal
whereby Foxx, McNair. Cramer and
Marcum have been sold to the Red
Sox for 100000 and four players
Pitcher John WEIGH or Pitcher Cor
don Rhodes, Outfielder Carl Reynolds
and Outfielder Mel Almada.
Part of the deal was expected to
be officially revealed today at the
formal opening Of the annual major
league Winter meetings, with the rest
to follow around the first of the year.
Why the probable split-up announce
ment, no one knew. The general
guess was that Mack didn't care to
hand the other American League PEN
nant contenders too much of shock.
The deal, rumored about since the
middle of last season and no longer
denied by the veteran Mack, would
be one of Comics largest of many
whoppers in recent years. Before the
1882 world series he sold Mule Haas,
Jimmy Dykes and AL Simmons to
the Chicago White Sox In Decem-
ber, 1888. he sold Mickey Cochrane
to Detroit, George Earnshaw to Chi
cago Lefty Grove, Rube Walberg and
Max Bishop to the Red Sox. After
the 1914 world series he broke up his
famous champions.
Quinn Gives Tip-Off.
NOTHING but confirmation was
anticipated in the Braves deal.
Quinn refused to talk about the actual
reorganization plans, but told Boston
friends he was "tickled pink to get
back to Boston"
A long, informal meeting on the
situation was held last night with
every one apparently satisfied. Adams
said that Manager Bill McKechnie
would be retained and that a drive
would be made to get some certified
talent - major league regulars - to
strengthen the Braves.
After three weeks Of sparring, the
New York Giants finally became so
aggravated with the st. Louis Cardi-
mails that they announced Pitchers
Roy Parmelee and Allyn Stout. Out
fielder Phil weintraub and Second
Baseman Al Cuccinello had been traded
to the Gas House gang" for Second
Baseman Burgess Whitehead, a fine
fielder, but .258 hitter last season.
Stoneham Breaks News.
THE Cards asked the Giants to
withhold the announcement, but
when word leaked out it was about to
be made, with Stout and Cuccinello
not mentioned, Horace Stoneham, son
of the Giant owner, told everything to
group of infuriated New York morn
ing newspaper men. The incident
showed how jumpy every one is over
the rumors floating around.
The Al Simmons to Detroit deal still
was very much alive, but who the
White Sox were going to get was the
subject of debate. Cochrane insists
he will not include Outf1elder Gerald
Walker.
