Wortman of Kansas City Club Goes to Chicago. Chicago, July 19.—Bill Wortman, star shortstop of the American asso- ciation, was bought yesterday by the Cubs from the Kansas City Blues for a consideration said by Cub officials to be the largest ever paid for a minor leaguer and consisting of cash and three players. Wortman is ex- pected to report at once and may ap- pear against the Glants next Friday. If Weeghman paid a record price for Wortman, then the price,must be greater than $22,500, the high water mark paid by Pittsburgh for Marty O’'Toole in 1911. The three players slated to go to the Blues are Shortstop Eddie Mulll- gan, Second Baseman Alexander Me- Carthy and Pitcher Claude Hendrix. Waivers have already been obtained on the three players, it was reported. Wortman has been batting near the .300 mark. Wortman will not report until the fall. Meanwhile negotiations for Charles Herzog, the Cincinnati man- ager, are going on in Cincinnati, where President Weeghman went yes- terday. Edward Zwilling of the Chicago Na- tionals will go to Indianapolis today as ‘part payment for Joe Kelly, who was purchased from the club. WORLD'S RECORD. Herbert E. Vol'mer Accomplishes Feat In N. Y.
