duced two of the game's big stars,, Johnny Kung" and" "Red D'ooiri. He' pitched tor St Joseph, TIo.,"of the Western League last season and won 2$ games arid lost lj). , "Johnson 'is a -heap big Injun for fair. He weighs 190, is nearly six feet tall, and-has. iiroad, powerful shoulders. He worked a swell game for Cincinnati Wednesday, holding the St Louis Cardinals to three hits and repulsing 'them from the home plate for nine innings. ) Johnson was with the White Sox on their training trip to California. He show plenty of promise, but-Callahan already had enough good pitchers and was forced to let the red- man go. Some of Joe Tin ker's, .friends tipped him off to the Indian's prowess, and the new man ager df the Reds grabbed him in a hurry. Joe believes he has a comer, and is liable to give Johnson his reg ular turn in the box. That story that Ty Cobb may be sold to the New York Yanks by De troit" sounds plausible. For years the American League has been trying to make the New York team pay, arid the addition of Frank Chance to the club at a salary of $25,000 a year shows to what lengths, 'the manage ment will go. New York is one team that can afford to pay Cobb $15,000 a year. With Chance, Chase and Cobb, in the line-up the YankB would tie 'the greatest drawing cardln the country. One thing is" certain, Cobb will never feel the same "interest in jiis -work should he play, with the Tigers. Another rumor that 'Cobb may go to the Athletics can be,spiked rigfht now. The Mackmen are already strong and the policy of the Amer ican League Is to strengthen the weaker teams and make the pannant race a close proposition. The fine Jtalian hand of Ban Johnson can be seenin this particular base, and if Cb.bb goes to New York it will be on the. say-so of the big boss. .,Frankie White of Chicago and Patsy Droufllard, lightweightcham pion of Canada,, fought ".a, slam-bang draw In Gfaifd Rapids, Mich:; last night.
