YOUNG HENDRYX MAY HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE ‘Tim Hendryx, for two seasons with the New York Yankees, is going so well with the Louisville club of the American association that many crit- jea along that circuit are predicting that he will get another opportunity to shine in the majors. Hendryx got @ trial with Cleveland some years ago, was hent back, and his great hitting in the Southern league led to his purchase by the Yankees. rom the Yanks he went to the St. Louis Browns, and last spring he was shunted again to the minors, He was the first player in the American asso- ciation to make 100 hits this year, ,| bia allaround work has been high class, and now it appears that he may get another chance.

He left the team while a game was going on, and when his team’ mates returned to their hotel it was discovered that Mays had checked out and was on his way to Boston Mays wired Manager Barrow aft- er his arrival in Boston, He de lared that he had been the victim of support, had lost several tough games, and was prepared to from the game. Once this fact became known other clubs be- gan“to make overtures for the player, and it {s a certainty that Owner Harry Frazee could draw down a large sum of money today from any one of three or four clubs for Mays’ contract, It ts said 26. that Carl's contract calls for $9,000 | point out that the left was the one| per season. Kid Gleason was first to make a bid, as it was from Chicago and a White Sox series that Mays made his exit. The White Sox need an- other pitcher in the chase for the pennant, and Mays would fit in nicely with the Chicago combina- tion: He would come close to mak- ing the Sox a pennant This fact is realized by Miller Huggins and Lee Fohi, just as it is by Gleason, and naturally they are keen to get the pitcher, or at} least have some club other than Chicago get him, There is little chance of Mays quitting baseball as long as he can draw down $9,000 per year. Before another week expires Mays will be back with the Red Sox or sold to some other club, it is expected. The retire- ment story does not ring true. Mays pitched for the Portland Colts in the Northwestern league before joining Boston.
