out stirring up a rumpus In baseball.
It seems that, the ownership of the
Baltimore club which is mostly Mr.
Jacques Dunn htut incurred the dis
pleasure of certain big league rm.g
nulcH because of his independent stand
with reference to selling star ball
players, etc., and It was made plain
that In case a deal went over M.
Jacques was not to be Included. Thus,
in order to carry out tho plan, the
Baltimore men would have to buy out
"Dunny" as well as the major league
magnate, and that wan the last straw.
The old camel sagged and flopped in

there will be r.eorge Gibson, now
