The ST. Louis Browns, who
have absolutely no money to
spend providing homes for tran
sient ball players, have just pur-
chased for cash a Well-knoWn
and Well-traVeled combination
first and third baseman named
Ellsworth T. (Babe) Dahlgren.
The Brown already have tai
ented first baseman in little
George McQuinn and an equal
ly competent third-SaCker in
Harlond Cliff and no mirrors are
needed TO see that the Brown
les have in mind some sort of a
deal.
DETROIT INVOLVED?
This might assume any one OF
a number Of shapes, because at
one time or another almost eV-
cry club 10 the American League
has shown an interest in both
Cliff and MCQuinn. But the most
likely tie-ups now would be with
Washington. Detroit or Chicago
All three of these clubs could
use Cliff to advantage. The mar
ket on NcQuinn has cooled off,
but some National League clubs,
notably the Boston I 'aVes, could
use him and waivers no longer
seem an obstacle to intC<league
trading.
The chances are the Browns
will hold a private auction while
the o ennant Contenders get
steamed up to a prosperous pitch

The Detroit Tigers continued
a bloodthirsty third, just a game
