BOSTON, WASHINGTON AND DETROIT MAKE THREE-CORNERED DEAL INVOLVING SIX MEN

The biggest deal of the baseball conference was put through recently when the Washington, Boston and Detroit clubs made a three-cornered trade which sends Shortstop Hal JanvrA of the Red Sox to Washington, George Dumont, the Washington pitcher, and Oscar Vitt, the Detroit third baseman, to the Red- Sox, and Chick Shorten, the outfielder, Slim Love, the Red Sox pitcher, and Eddie Ainsmith, ihe Washington backstop, to Detroit. This Is the most important trade

that lias been made in some time ahdr was arranged so as to benefit all clubs concerned. Washington needed a shortstop to take the place of DoC Lavan, who is through with the game. The Red Sox were badly in need of a third baseman, and in Vitt they landed one of the best fielders and batsmen in the business. Detroit got # promising outfielder in Shorten, and the Tiger catching staff is strengthened by the addition of Alnsmith, who for many years has been the catcher for Walter Johnson.
