Yankees, arc laying plans to pi'ae Rediile of Tat Moran? Would they yell? They probably would. And the two colonels, while not tampering with any one's ball players, still are hot after a successor to Miliar Hutcgins. who is believed to have, failed ith a high-class organization, and they lean strongly either to Moran or YVllbert Robinson, both of whom are in the National L.eaffue. Cincinnati probably would call out the watch.
