Lake studies fall bids for Pittsburg men amid league cap limits
Manager Fred Lake returned from Pittsburg discouraged by not landing the players he sought. He plans to press for signings as the schedule meeting nears and considers New York relief. Getz signed. Richie delayed. Boston figures back Lake and Stahl looks ready to sign. A six to eight man scoring rules revision may be proposed to standardize play across leagues.
Commy Leads Farrell as Prize Spender
Up to date Charley Comiskey has paid out more money for new players than any other club owner. Russell Blackburn may be called the prize beauty so far as he is said to have cost Mr. Comiskey 6000. In addition to two players worth between 3000 and 4000, Blackburn played shortstop with the Providence team of the Eastern league last year and made a good impression. It is said that Mr. Comiskey also paid the Providence team about 10000 for Hugh Duffy to manage the White Sox, while the owner of the Chicago Americans is credited with paying 5500 for Rollie Zelder, a third baseman from the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league. Frank Farrell paid 4000 for Otis Johnson, a third baseman from the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league. The Cleveland club is said to have paid about the same price for Linke Gregg and Koestner.
