BALLPLAYERS
IN JBIG DEALS
National League Magnates Have
' Merry Swapping Session ' '
Five days of dickering and fussing
among the National league magnates
In New York ended in three big deals,
representing the biggest day of trading
In the history of baseball.
Secretary J. B. Foster of the Giants
put through a deal with the Cincinnati
RedB by which Inflelder Charley Her
zog and Catcher Grover Hartley were
traded for Outfielder Bob Bescher.
Herzog, It is believed, will be the man
ager of the Cincinnati team.
A deal between the Pittsburg
Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals,
Involving the exchange of eight ball
players, was put through.
The Cardinals traded Firstbaseman
Ed Konetchy, Thlrdbaseman Mike
Mowrey and Pitcher Bob Harmon to
the Pirates for Firstbaseman Jack
Miller, Thlrdbaseman Al Dolan, Short
stop Arthur Butler, Pitcher Rube Rob
inson and Outfielder Wilson. There
was no cash on either side.
Hugglns got a first class southpaw
In Robinson and a clever shortstop Ir
Butler, who played good ball last sea
son. The Pirates will be greatly
strengthened by Konetchy, a star first
baseman and a big hitter.
Joseph Tinker, the deposed man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds and one ot
the greatest shortstops in baseball
was sold to the Brooklyn club for
$25,000.
The big deal went through unexpect
edly after a rather heated argume.nl

And in either ease some of the gifts offered are about as useful,
articles.
Give a man something he can wear or get some use out of.
Those articles at a store that sells men's goods- The gifts we have gathered are practical,
sensible, serviceable, the prices are remarkabw on the high grade qualities we offer.
Suppose you take the trouble to trouble us today, or tomorrow, or the next day, always
reminding you that we do not know what the word trouble means.
P. S. A sensible inexpensive gift given with love is more to be appreciated than a 40-horse-power
automobile given with careless condescension.
