Slated ior 0 her Clubs Déc. 26.--Despite | oft repeated state- through seiling play trom Phiiadelphia Outfielder Amos Strunk e seman George Burns will be with Philadelphia club when the Athletics open the 1920 season. Connie Mack recently sent Bill Don- ovan, manager of the Jersey City club, | his lineup for an exhibition game | the Athletics will play in Jer- sey City on {he Sunday before the opening of the championship season. The ljneup named practically the same | players with which Mack finished the 1919 season. The players of the At- lanta Southern association champions formed the nucleus of this aggrega- tion, and it was fitted out with other busher: Burru 2 Carolina associ tion ro was named as the Athleti fivst baseman. Neither Burns nor Strunk appeared. on this lineup and Mack informed Donovan that the team he would b over would be the same one which he would start his opening. that he reports neithe nent ers, that nor F Burns, Strunk and Tilly Walkér were among the few players of cls who were with the Athletics last sea- son. Strunk, it will be recalled, came back to Philadelphia in a deal where- | by Mack traded Roth and Shannon to? the Red Sox for Strunk and Barry. Bar however refused to return to the Athletics unless Mack gave him a three-year contract which Connie de- io give him. Strunk Lacked “Pep.” | Strunk didn't fit in particularly well with the Athletics after he returned to Philadelphia. None of those fel: lows who played on Mack’s famous [ world's champions could be expected to shew much pep on Mack's later day aggregations. Besides, Strunk is a player who strings along with his team. Put him on a great batting club and Strunk will hit with the best of them, but if his club slumps he slumps with. it. Both Strunk and Burns should be g00d assets as trading material. Burns first baseman, and also can play the outfield in an emergency. He is a dangerous hitter, and can hit the ball far. On a field like the Polo Grounds he probably would have a home run record that night even make Ruth look to his laurels. Huggins could use both of these men very nicely, especlally Strunk, Who would give New York something it hasn’t had in years, a good rangy center fielder. The Yankees tried to make some deal with the Athletics before the two clubs started calling cach other names, but once that start- Purns May Land in Washington. 1f Mack does any trading he prob- ably will do it with Griffith, and Wash- ington may be Burns' destination. | Grifiit recently had negotiations with the Detroit club, through which it was proposed to swap Joe Judge, Washing- ton’s first baseman. This deal still is said to be on. It is not likely that Griffith would contemplate trading’ Judge unless he had auother first base prospect in sight. If any deals arc made in the Amer- ican league this winter it is likely th will be made Within the different fac- tions. If Detroit, Washington, the Athletics, St. Louis and Cleveland do any trading the clubs within this alli- ance will get first crack at surplus tal ent. Since Grifith has obtained the con- trolling interest in the Washington club it is his purpose to rebuild the club from the bottom. Mack’s trading ock is Burns, Strunk snd Scott Per- vy and it wouldn’t be surprising if “Griff” is given the first pick at these players. $20,000 OR NOTHING This Is the Modest Sum “Babe” Ruth Is Demanding of Boston Red Sox Management.
