It comes in handy after nearly every story.Since the world series ended baseball for the time being and threw the gentlemen who write about the sport out of work, so to speak, we have been treated to all and sundry sorts of reports. It would not surprise us one whit to pick up the Morning Bugle tomorrow and learn that Mahatma Gandhi was to load the Cincinnati Reds next year, but that the team wouldn’t bo the Cincinnati Reds because that city’s franchise had been sold to Cos Cob, Connecticut.Mind you, some of these reports might pan out, but the smart person will view them with a slight, suspicion until the players and owners involved and, of course, the mightyk.Kenesaw Mount Wilson Observatory Landis, have had their say.During the past week or so the baseball writers have cut Babe Ruth’s 1932 salary; ripped the Philadelphia Athletics from stem to stern, or from A to Z as the boys say; nominated everybody from Jim Bottom ley to Otis Skinner as manager of the Cincinnati Reds; sold the St. Louis Cardinals’ franchise to Montreal and the Boston Braves to a person named Charles F, Adams; swapped Hack Wilson and Mickey Finn for pitcher Ray Benge; brought Wes Ferrell from Cleveland to New York; named Clark Griffith to manage the Senators; accused Babe Ruth of heart trouble andnamed him as playing manager of the Giants; placed Jimmy Dykes in charge of the White Sox; placed John Me-Graw in charge of the White Sox, and rid Lie Cubs of Burleigh Grimes, Bob Smith, Stanley Hack and Johnny Moore in exchange for a lefthanded pitcher and a slugging hitter.Of all these reports only one is dead certain to come through. We refer to the one that gets Burleigh Grimes out of Chicago. Old Burleigh is sure to move somewhere. Article 9, paragraph 15, of both the constitution and magna carta make it impossible for the old dispenser of spit balls to stay with one club more than one year. Having played with practically all of the major league clubs, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Burleigh go in hibernation, grow a set of mutton chops, and join the House of David outfit.Talk of Ruth’s salary cut is onthing more than the opening shots in that annual American sports extravaganza, the battle of the palms. Before you know it, so quickly does time fly. Colonel Jake Ruppert will be headed south to meet the Babe.“I have offered him $G5,000,” the colonel will say a hundred times. “He will have to take it or leave it.”I want $75,000 or nothing,” Babe will answer. “I’ll get out of baseball before 1 take a cut.”Two weeks later Ruppert will go up five grand, Ruth will come down five grand, fountain pens will be unsheathed, cameras will click and lo! the Yankees will have a young outfielder by the name of Ruth.scaIobtlcaCt:danII*lt;ifiaif!
