speeding boys FROM THE KAW OPPOSE TRIBE Otto Knabe Has Blues Going at Top Speed in A. A. Race. HENLINE DEAL CLOUDED

Otto Knabe's hustling K- C. Blue* were here today to open u big series with the Indians and at the rate the bat wlalders from the Kaw have been going recently, it will take a big effort on the part of the Hoosiers it tne Missouri athletes are to be tripped up while in this city. * The Blues only recently knocked much op'the co kiness out of the leading Colonels and now the A. A. dopesters are thinking seriously of •coining out with a prediction that the Blues and not the Colonels will win the pennant. It was the Blueo that started the Indians on the down grade recently and the Tribesmen hardly hare recovered from the shook. At any rate the Hendrlcksm'n mean to give the best they have against the K. C. sluggers and the fans are sure to see plenty of action. Bunny Brief. Eddie 7willing. Wilbur Good and other K. C pc inents are pounding the hall at a great rate, but the Washington Park fences arc some distance out and these hitters will find plenty of trouble getting extra base clouts Clint Rogge was the probable Tribe pitcher for this afternoon. with Heniine behind the bat. Henline has beer, included in a New York Philadelphia deal by which Butch and Outfielder Walker* go to the Phillies In exchange for Emil Meusel, heavy hit-, ting fielder. A few- days ago it was rerorted that Meusel had been suspended y Manager Donovan for not keeping in shape, but It's a 100-to-l shot that he will be found in shape when he don* a New York uniform, John McGraw <-ertatnly knows how to fool 'em when he wants a star that happens to be playing with another club. He failed to get Ueiuie Groh from the Ciney Reds, so it is apparent that he used a different system when he decided to go after Meusel. Also, it's about a 10-to-l shot that Groh will be traded to the Giants next winter It's hard to prevent McGraw from getting what he wants. Henline was traded by Indianapolis to New York last winter for Baird, Sicking. Kinsellu and Dixon, and then was returned here under an optional agreement with the proviso that he could be recalled by the Giants in the fall. Now it seems that the Phillies can force Henline to report wherever they choose to call In the hopes of preventing this President Smith. Sr., has gone East for a conference with the Giants and Phillies Manager McGraw of the Giants wired here today that he was attempting to replace Henline. Vice President Smith, Jr. and Manager Hendricks also will go East tonight in search of players. Young Smith and Hendricks will visit Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. They hope to arrange matters in a way that will enable Henline to remain here until the close of the season. Otherwise they will try to lend Catcher Gaston of tlie Giants or Peters or Wheat of the Phillies to fill the emeigency Outtielder Meusel, whom the Giants get In the Walker-Henline deai, la a brother of Ray Meusel of the New York Americana. Both are longdistance swatters and it will be a rare treat for Gotham fans to see one Meusvi with Hie Y'anks and another member of the same family with the Giants.

NEW YORK, July 28. —One reason why Charles A Stoneham. president and chief owner, and Joan J. McGraw, vice president and manager of the New York Giants, sold their interests In the Havaua race track was that they had decided to devote more time to baseball and less to racing in the future. They sold their majority holdings of the stock of the Cnba-Amerlcan Jockey Club on the outskirts of Havana to Thomas Monahan and associates at private terms. When Stonehara and McGraw bought a controlling interest in the Havana track on Oct. 20, 1919, the price was not made public, but it was estimated at something over $1,000,000. the amount asked by H I>. “Curley” F.rown when fjeorg® VV. Loft was negotiating for Us purchase earlier that year. It is safe to say that Mr. Monahan and hie associates paid close to $1,500,000. a* the property has increased in value In the last two years following two successful meetings during the winter of 1910 and 1920. According to C. J. Fitx Gerald there it nc finer racing plant in the world than Oriental Park, which is in the town of Marianao. about seven miles from the heart of Havana.
