New York, May 14.—The catching staff of the New York Americans has been strengthened by the purchase of Leslie G. Nunamaker from the Boston Ked Sox. The transaction was com- pleted yesterday. Nunamaker will be first aid in the backstop department to Ed Sweeney. Sweeney is doing capital work for the New Yorks, but in order to be fortified the clpb needed another dependable catcher.’ With | Gossett, who was laid up early in the ! season, but now on the mend; Rey- nolds, Sweeney and Nunamaker the New Yorks are well fixed behind the bat, and strength behind the bat is | essential to success. Clubs aren’t up { there that are weak behind the bat. A list of pennant winners for years back | Will show that nearly all had at least | one high class receiver. Pennants | kave been won by teams which were only fair in the box or riot strong with the bat or indifferent in fielding, but not where there was weakness back of [ the plate. { Nunamaker was drafted, by both ! Cleveland and Boston in 1910 from | the Bloomington club of the Three I league. Cleveland won the draw and | Nunamaker. was awarded to that club, { but was turned over to Boston. He bas played with the Red Sox ever since. In 1911 he played in fifty-nine games, batted .257 and flelded .972; in 1912 he caught . thirty-five _games batted 2 and flelded .973; in 1913 | he was in twenty-eight games, batting 7 and fielding .976, EAST ENDS VS, PASTIMES, The East Ends will journey to East Hartford Sunday afternoon and play the strong Pastimes of that place.

Chalmers or Oberg will be on the firing line and Lynch will be on the receiving end. BASEBALL EE ‘NO SPEEKA DA'WSH __ EE DUNNO WHADDA 7 H’Vr] m 1 = Napoleon Lajoie, Who May Retire From Active Ball Play) Nap Lajoie, the great slugger of the Cleveland Naps, has had a hard time rounding into his old form and is hit- | ting away below the standard set in his former years. Nap's fielding ability has been nullified by advancing age, but his batting form has kept him on the payroll. With neither one left things look bad for the big French- min. Fans are wondering whether Lirmingham and Somers will keep him or not.
