Fate of Sisler Still Uncertain With Senators
Washington May 16 The fate of George Sisler former star and manager of the St Louis Browns with the Washington Senators remained in doubt today. Despite seven clubs waiving on him he may not be sent to a National League club or released by the Senators. Clark Griffith said for the present we will keep Sisler. Sisler told United Press he has no intention of quitting baseball and plans to continue in the majors. He recalled being MVP in 1922 and noted good vision and improved legs since last year. He was purchased by the Senators from the Browns last winter for 15000.
