New Angle Appears in Baseball Deal—Action Galore in College Net Circles

£USH ENTERS FIELD OF PROBABLE TRIBE BUYERS * ' Ownie and Friend Make Effort to Gather Enough Capital to Meet Smith’s Price of $175,000. AVitTa the announcement by Owner Smith that the Indianapolis ball club could be purchased if his price of $175,000 was met, the stove league ball started rolling anew on the local diamond rialto today. The Tribe president, on returning from the big baseball powwow in Chicago, said several sets of people had approached him on the subject of dealing for the Indians, but ao one had made him a definite offer for the franchise. He was led to place a price on the j

team when Garry Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati Reds, inquired for the information. But that is as far as Herrmann went—he merely inquired. The Cincy president also sounded out Toledo and Columbus. Draft Makes Difference With the return of the draft. Smith sees better baseball prospects in the American Association rfnd he is not eager to sell the Indians unless he can arrange to purchase the Toledo club. ' Roger Bresnahan wants $150,00J for controlling interest, with real estate excluded. The New York Giants own the Toledo ball park and Bresnahan owns merely about 55 per of the A. A. franchise stock. the fact the Cincinnati club got Smith to place a price on the Tribe team, it is thought Smith prefers to sell to Indianapolis people. This angle brings in Ownie Bush, east siae iavorite and manager of the Washington Americans last year. Three sets of local people have talked of angling for the purchase of the Tribe and oat- set hits the inside track, even above Cincinnati interesta Search for Capita] The one set that Smith favors consists of Bush and one other. This two-man “syndicate” has a verbal op tion, hut not the necessary capital a present. Efforts were being majie to day by Bush and his friend to interest some men of large bank rolls in a deal whereby the price asked by Smith could be met. If successful, the club will be purchased by the Bush faction and Ownie will become the club manager. There will be a directors meeting of the Indianapolis Club Dec. 17. In the meantime Owner Smith will go ahead with plans for the coming season. Spring training plans coni.* first and two sites in Florida are un der consideration —Deiand and Hollv-wood-by-the Sea. Hot Springs has been marked off the list.

HIGH PRICES ASKED N. Y. CLUBS ARE TURNED DOWN Nationals Need Couple Pitchers —Miller Huggins May Have Need of Youngster to Take Scott’s Place, By In (fed Vnct NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—The halters that James Tierney of the New York Giants and President Ruppert of the Yankees carried in their baggatre to the Chicago winter-trading mart and conversazione, were brought back in the baggage today.

Tierney and Ruppert may have expected to use the halters to lead back new players obtained by purchase or swap during the exciting events in Chicago. They found, however, that every manager with a major or minor league star to sell, jumped the price about SIO,OOO for the New York trade. Waiting for .McGraw The Yankees will try to make some deals later on in the winter. Perhaps at the February meeting, when the other clubowners have had a chance to reconsider their prices. The Giants apparently .do not inteifS to do any dealing until John McGraw comes home from Europe. The report persists in New York that the Giants concluded a trade-ar.d-purchase transaction with the St Louis Cardinals some time ago by which Rogers Hornsby is to play with the National League champions next season. Scott Through? The Yankees might stand pat, but Miller Huggins, skipper of the team, recently Intimated that Everett Scott, the ancient shortstop, was about to finish as a regular.

EPINARD’S OWNER FAVORS KENTUCKY TRACKJOR RACE One of Three Proposed Events Probably Will Be Held at Latonia, By United Financial J NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Until Col. Matt J. Wynn, general manager of Kentucky Jockey Club, arrives in this city for a conference with August Belmont and Pierre Wertheimer, no definite official announcement of Epinard’s racing engagements on American tracks can be made. Wertheimer announced Friday night that he had engaged passage for Epinard the first week in July on the liner Paris and that, barring ill luck, the crack French colt will surely come to America to campaign after having concluded French events abroad, three in France and two in England. The French sportsman is in favor of having his champion run at least once on Kentucky tracks. If his wishes are granted Epinard will appear once at Belmont Park, once at one of the other eastern tracks and once at Latonia. After arriving in America, Epinard will be taken to Saratoga for a month of training under the direction of his American trainer, Eugene Leigh. Wertheimer’s sweeping statement, made Friday night, shows how confident he is of the superiority of his colt. He said: “Epinard is afraid of no horse of his age. He will run here over any distance from six furlongs to a mile and a half against one horse or twenty-one. After he has been here a month he will be open for engagements at these or intermediate distances on any American track against any American horse.”
