| Show STOVE 5 S vi viS o S Y before leaving for the training camp at Pitts Pittsburg burg Cal Thursday noon Eddie Herr tile the new Bee manager admitted that Sammy Bohne may prove to be the experienced second ba baseman eman he is after but he also added that the Bees Bees' may be a man wh whom m the Reds expect to g gt t for Salt Lake from another club in the National leaR league The reason for Eddies Eidie's admission admission sion on the Bohne matter is that we read him a dispatch from San Francisco which said Bohne the sensational shortstop and second baseman who has startled the fans here during the shipyard season and whose services services ser ser- vices are being sought by the Seals Angels and Senators will become a member of the Salt Lake club Eddie Herr the Salt Lake pilot appears to have the inside track for Bohne and is reported reported re- re ported to have practically closed a deal for the player with Mil Mil- waukee I When shown the above Herr came through with the information that the deal is practically closed Bohne e e- e longs to Milwaukee but is anxious to get away and has just about sue sue- Bohne went to the Cardinals from Tacoma at the close ot of the 1916 season through the recommendation of Herr and now that Herr has a a. club II of his own Bohne is anxious to join I Eddie I I Sammy Bohne was In the army last season but he had a good year with Milwaukee Mil Mu- waukee In 1917 He fIelded in seva sev- sev enty games at second base e 87 in sev- sev i one enty-one games a at third and n hit Ife He clouted out twenty seven doubles seven triples and four home runs and stole thirty eight bases In 1916 with Tacoma he fielded In games at atI short t and hit for t twenty eight t d doubles dou- dou I bles tet et eleven triples and tid tour homers oe e He stole six forty bases S I Rowdy Elliott has finally talked out of the big league He was a Cub holdout so long that the latter club deI decided de- de I to send him back Rowdy

having with two of his ball players because bl big league clubs are spoiling them anti and Fournier are the two players involved Both finished fin fin- the 1918 season with big league clubs after the Coast league closed but naturally revert back 1 01 the Angels The Red Sox put In a for but notwithstanding the fact that the old draft rules stipulated that the drafting club must pay before February 1 the Angels have not received a dime Ed Barrow manager of the Red Sox is figuring fig fig- on taking to training camp nevertheless At any rate has his head turned and will not talk terms with Los Angeles We Ve cant can't blame the player but Los Angeles Is getting the bad end of the deal because the commission commission com com- mission Is not enforcing the draft rule As It stands the Red Sox will wil probably take to camp look him over for foi thirty days without paying a dime for him If Ie he makes good Los Angeles will receive 2500 If not the player will besent be besent sent back to the Angels after the season in this league is sixth one over Indications are that the Red Sox are working the same game In the case of Jean Dubuc No one can blame Jean for wanting another whirl at the big show but it is placing the Bees at a vantage The case of Maurice Rath Is similar Cincinnati has not paid Salt Lake a penny for Rath on the draft price yet It Insists on taking Rath to camp and giving him a ten day trial The amusing amus- amus ing part of it all is that Rath will probably probably ably need twice ten days to get Into shape and even then he will probably be besent besent sent back to Salt Lake but In the meantime meantime mean mean- time the Reds have made a high priced and dissatisfied player out of Rath as asfar asfar far as Salt Lakes Lake's future dickering with him Is
