Yankees Shy at Price Asked for Lary and Reese Bu United, Press NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—The Yankees want Lyn Lary and Jimmy Reese, sensational infielders of the Oakland Club of the Pacific Coast League, but they don’t want them at the price quoted by Oakland—sloo,ooo.

Lary is a shortstop and Reese a second baseman.
