FOR LOS ANGELES TEAM
Sptrial to The Telegraph
Los Angeles, Cat, May 27.—Tom
Darmody, director of the Los Angeles
Baseball Club and friend of John J.
McGraw, is authority for the state
ment that Arthur Shafer may be seen
cavorting arc nd third base for the
Los Angeles team in the near future.
Darmody has forwarded a petition
to McGraw to release Shafer from
suspension. It is believed Shafer would
play on the coast, especially for his
home town club, as a matter of civic
pride if nothing else.
Darmody believes, if his automatic
suspension is raised, Shafer will don
the spiked shoes to help Los Angeles
out of its rut. Shafer knows how bad
ly his services are needed, but refuses
to talk until McGraw has been heard
from.
