Dovey Seeks Players as Baseball Season Opens Negotiations
In Chicago this week magnates from the two major leagues meet to set schedules trade players and settle matters before training camps. George Dovey aims to use the meeting to push the leagues to act as a clearing house for surplus material aiding weaker clubs. About 400 players are to be moved with many major league capable players available. Dovey hopes this will loosen restrictions and help weaker clubs reinforce before Class AA control intensifies. The Red Sox have few players to move while others like the Highlanders Cubs Nationals Cleveland and St. Louis have many ambitious youngsters likely to seek opportunities. A potential thaw between Murphy and Pulliam may occur and the bribery case involving Klein and O Day may be aired.
