Manager Miller Hugging Turns Former Boston Red Sox Hurler Over to Tigers for $2,500 Less Than ! Jim Dunn Offered. Can you imagine a ball club dispos- ing of a pitcher for $2,500 less than the highest bid? Well, such a thing probably wouldn't happen in any busi- ness other than baseball, but such Is the case of “Dutch” Leonard. Presi dent Dunn of Cleveland wanted the services df “Dutch” Leonard for the Indians. When It became known that New York was willing to dispose of Leonard the Cleveland magnate at once started to angle for the services of the star southpaw. Dunn realizes that the one and only weak spot on his ball club Is his pitching staff. It has been sald that a pennant-winning club must have a crack southpaw, Working on that theory, Dunn set out to do business with the New York elub. Now, it so happens that Miller Hug. gins of the New York Yankees is hopeful of winning an American league pennant for Gotham this year.

CONSISTENCY A JEWEL ” alin oF Pre The New York Sun pertinent- ly remarks: “When Chris Mathewson and Branch Rickey played ball each had clanses put in their contracts that they would be exempted from Sunday ball games. Matty coached on Sunday, but Rickey does not go that far. He wou't even manage a team on Sumniay. But suppose all his players took the same at- titude? What then? Seems to be a ‘conscientious objector’ on the question of Sunday ball and yet not averse to profiting there from. To be entirely consistent Mr. Rickey should have no con- nection whatever with any on ganization that aids and abets Sunday baseball for profit.” ® ® PLANS OF FATTY ARBUCKLE President of Vernon Team to Use Play. ers in Baseball Picture Has Good Talent.
