Ball Players Fluctuate.

Birdie Cree Illustrates the fluctuating value of baseball players. At the end of last season no team would pay the Yankees the waiver price- for his services, and he was sent to the Baltlmore International league club. Cree has hit around .400 with Baltimore and has shown such general good form in his work that the eyes of all scouts are already fixed upon him. Four National league clubs have bid for his services, and one manager, believed to be Fred Clarke, Is said to have offered $14,000 for the release of the former Yankee.
