The Boston Red Sox owners have purchased Jean Debue, former star pitcher and pinch hitter of the De- troit Tigers, from the Salt Lake Club, of the disbanded Pacific Coast League. Jack Egan, former American League umpire, and then manager of the Previdence International League team, and this year manager of the Milwaukee American Associa- tion team, has returned to his home in Providence, where he is quoted as saying that attendance was gener- ally good in Association cities up to the end of the curtailed season. The Braves rang in a pinch hitter named Bass against the Cubs. Mr. Bass refused to bite at the bait of- fered by Douglas' wide curves. There were cries of "Get the hook" when two strikes were called; then Mr. Bass struck savagely, and start- ed the rally that won for Boston. Evidently Mr. Bass i8 no fish. President Weeghiman of the Chi~ cago Cubs is safd to have offered several of his players jobs as man- keep tab on them for agers In his Chicago restayrants, so arranging their hours that they can be off Saturdays and Sundays to play balf fn Chicago. Thus he can future use when the Cubs take the field again. Manager Fred Mitchell waxed wroth because his club officials agreed without consulting him to moving up a game from somewhere in October to make a double-headed last Saturday. Mitchell thought it would give the Giants an advantage, as he figured the less games the Cubs played the better. However, since the Cubs won that part of the double-header, he probably will take back the things he sald about money-mad magnates. : Catcher Eddie Burns quit the Phillies last week and went back to California, . where he expects to go inte some sort of war work, but says it won't be in a shipyard. To fill in the Philjies took on Mike De- vine, who has been catching in the Rastern League. Pitcher Garry For- tune also was added to the Phillies' staff during the week. He was the leading pitcher in the Eastern League. Bunny Beief, who finished the season as fTiret baseman with Kan- sas City, has found another league to play in. He has joined one of the shipyard -teams at Duluth. Fred Falkenberg, who finished the season with Indianapolis, has joined the Dubuth team of the Mes- aba Iron League. A large number of former American Association players are "working" in this league. Catcher Bradley Kocher, formerly of the New York Giants and Toron- to Leafs, and laté&rgwith Louisville, hag gone to workglir) a munitions plant at Hazleton, and will do some bal playing >. the side. Chgvelin, late of Columbus, is with the same concern. Manager Fred Mitchell of the Cubs and Jim Vaughn is as good a pitcher as Grover Alexander was in this prime. Well, there may be differences of opinion, but it's hard to go behind the figures and Vaughn certainly vas them this season. Bill Killifer may have been the real man in the makings of both pitchers. Perhaps he could handle Mule Wat- son for a season and also make him as good as Alexander. Chicago report has it that Charley Deal, who jumped to a munitions plant, was much grieved when he heard of Sécretary Baker's respile and at once started negotiations for rejoining the Cubs, so that he might get in another world's series, figur- ing that his experience wonld be a great help to Mitchell. Chicago report has it that Chor- ley Deal, who jumped to a munition plant, was much grieved when he heard of Secretary Baker's respite and at once started get in another world's series, figuring 'that his ex- perience would be a great help to Mitchell. Now that Secretary Baker has granted exemption to players under the work or fight order until Sep- tember 1st, Walter Holke, who got his orders before Baker loosened up, figures he got the worst of it and doubtless wishes he were back with the Giants drawing down that $667 a month. He is now working for the Bethlehem Steel Company at $300 a month, pretty good pay for a plate setter at that. No Baseball «lext Year?

Would Color Golf Balls, With a million golfers im Canada and the United States, little wonder that the inventive mind occasionally offers suggestions which threatens to send the ancient game ahd its tra- ditions a-glimmering, Inventions rarely receive encour- agement, for '"'golf is golf," and for that reason the icomoclasts seldom make more than momentary flash ere fading away to utter and lasting ob- livion, For instance, one is at a loss to know why anyone should suggest the substitution of yellow for white paint on a golf ball. 1t has been claimed that under certain conditions white is hard on the eyes; that on a very bright day a more neutral color would be serviceable. Yet golfers have played for a good many years and the sun has shone just as bright- ly in the past as it does at present. It would be hard to get better con- trast than the white ball and the green turf, So far as the trade goes, there have been comparatively few recommenda- tions to change the color of the ball, though recently a New York golfer left an order with a prominent sport- ing goods house, calling for a dozen of one of the latest makes of rubber cores to be painted red, His reason was that when shots went wandering among the, glistening white shells, the caddie had trouble in locating the sphere. Consequently he figured it out that a red" object would be much easier to distinguish. Phone 577. a ---- Rochester Yachts Defeat Cleveland.
