E MAJOR LEAGUERS NOW AFTER LAJOIE Leader of the Champion Leafs Is Wanted by Three Am- erican League Clubs. 7' Closely following the announce- ment of Honus Wagner's permanent rélirement from baseball comes a story that Napoleon, Lajoie, the Dutchman's ancient rifal, will re. turn to the Americafi Leagée next Season--possibly as £ member of the New York team. A year ago, when Lajoie received an honorable discharge from ihe American League after fifteen years of continuous service, . Wagner's name was blazoned forth as that of the most enduring big leaguer. Everybody thought Lajoie had real. ly outlived his usefulness. But Wagner made a: failure of his "comeback," while the Frenchman, who managed the Toronto team, led the International Leagué in batting, with the splendid average of .380, also leading in total hits and total bases. Thus it would appear that Lajoie can still hit good pitching, and with SO many vacancies in the © hig leagues next season an athlete of his ability will be more than welcoine. At least three American League clubs are willing to pay Lajoie a good salary next season, and poss. idly ome National League Ciub might engage him as manager. Put "Larry's" future dbpends on the future of the International League, which may be settled there next week. If the International votes te sus. pend action until after the war, its players, will be disposed of to the highest bidders.
