. . . However, only one player can be taken from the Redskins by that avenue of baseball law.

Players Charles Barrett, Lindsay Brown, here on option from Cincinnati, and Legrant Scott, from the Phillies, are hot subject to draft since they have been recalled for 1940 by their parent clubs. The guess is that if the draft hits the Indians, the player lifted will come out of the group of Don French, Bill Baker, Myron MeCormick, Elmer Riddle and Jesse Newman. ... Riddle, on option with Birmingham, will report to the Tribe next week.

EVERAL requests have been received for the Cincinnati home schedule for the remainder of the season. ... Our books give it this way: Sept. 2-3, Chicago; Sept. 12, 13, Brooklyn; Sept. 14 (two games), 15 (two games), 16, New York; Sept. 17 (two games), 18 (two games), Boston; Sept. 19 20, 21, Philadelphia; Sept. 22 (two games), 23 (two games), 24, Pittsburgh; Sept. 26 (two games), 27, 28, St. Louis.

Blades Silent After Cards Fold

AY BLADES, the St. Louis Cardinals’ freshman manager, has sounded off now that his overworked team is sagging at the seams. . . . When Ray managed the Columbus Red Birds in the A. A. he wouldn't open his mouth to newspapermen. He openad up, though, after his Cards pulled within 32 games of the Reds recently. ... By that time, however, he had worked his players to a frazzle and they caved in on the Eastern trip. . . . Using starting pitchers in the bullpen and in the relief role sapped their

snap and the reaction affected the whole team. D> DEAN porbably won't see starting action again this season. . . . The former great one has done practically no ball tossing and less pitching for almost three weeks. . . . Since Aug. 13 Diz has pitched to three batters in one game and two in another. . .. Three of these five swingers blasted him for base blows, two scoring. “How I'd win if given a chance” has been dropped from Dean's script and the big fellow evidently is resigned to the fact that the old arm is gone. .. The $185,000 purchase is labeled a poor risk with the Bruins still hopeful of working back into the pennant scramble.

Those Yanks Won’t Stop

Lose 6-Run Lead, Come Back to Beat Cleveland.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (U. P.).—Is there anybody who still doubts the authenticity of the Yankees? If there is just refer them to the Yankees-Cleveland ball game of yesterday. The Yankees have the game won, 7-1, going into the last half of the fourth and then a bombshell explodes and they lose the lead. When the top of the eighth comes up the Clevelanders are in front, 8-7. But the Yanks believe that a ball game isn’t over until the last man is out. ... So they put themselves on a four-run rally. Joe DiMaggio drove in six runs with two triples and a single. Bob Feller, going after his 20th victory, was tapped out by the Yanks in four frames. Spud Chandler came in as a relief pitcher and was credited with the victory. Detroit slugged out a 14-10 triumph over the Red Sox. Pinky Higgins walloped two homers and Birdie Tebbetts one to drive in four runs each. The Cubs broke even in a double bill with the Dodgers, winning the first game, 6-2, behind Larry French’s eight-hit pitching and losing the second to Vito Tamulis, 3-1. Bill Posedel scored his 15th victory, limiting the Phillies to eight] hits to give the Boston Bees a 6-0 shutout in a night game.

Paul Dunlap, Ben Zentara Are Bought by Indians

Tribe President Leo. T. Miller today announced the conditional pure ' chase of two players as the first step toward assembling some new talent for the 1940 team.
