negotiations baseball garnet on the air over Tarn re underway to put the Stags' dlo WTMV the new East St Louis station Success of the plan probably depends upon ability of those concerned to find a sponsor Broadcasts would probably be a fine thing for the Stags' prestige particularly In the St Louis and East St Louie area where the Belleville boys don't rate much publicity in competition with the St Louie Major League outfits and their own local favorites The plan would have a former XMOX announcer at the mike Ed Bryan Hurler Ed Bryan who hails from Belleville and who has been playing In the Pacific coast League for a long time was traded by the Portland Beavers to the Seattle Indians during the intermission between games of a double header on July 4 Ed twirled the first game for Portland and lost 4 to 3 allowing a total at seven bingles Then in the second game he got in as a pinch hitter for Seattle in the ninth but failed to hit safely and Seattle lost 3 to 1 The other

newly found championship and thereby reaping the harvest while he may After tossing Chief Little Wolf in New York he moved first to Indianapolis where he tossed Charlie track for two ctraight falls

long a show as Loncins did IDs time seems to be around 40 min ties so far Home Run Champ Hank Greenberg who is setting the major league pare for homers this year claims to be much more interested In base hits than he is in four-base hits In an interview this week the Detroit sensation said: "If I set a new mark this year and then drop back to 35 or 40 next season the fans will be saying: That guy Greenberg as good as he was a war ago' They'll be counting me out and 111 be rated as a has-been in my fourth year in the majors That's what I'm thinking about now" Any guy who can park 35 or 40 in a season could hardly be a has-been and we suspect that Hank will keep an eye on that old mark to shoot at just the same CANADIAN MEET FONTHILL Ont July 13 Shotmakera from across the border today held
