though the shortsighted Philadel-
phian had overplayed his hand. and
that he will remain right here where
he has been such a' big favorite for
two seasons.
Up to the time ofjhe annual meet-
ing in Chicago. and in fact till that
session was nearly concluded. Burns
on account of his slugging ability
and the. need of a. competent first
sucker by both lndians and Browns.
was eagerly sough and st-vvrzll pos-

transfer. . ' ' ‘
Cleveland, desparately in need of
a reliable first baseman, was willing
to hand over \‘Jambgunss to Boston
in exchange. and perhaps give the
Red So: a. player or two to boot.
Detroit. which now needs only a
veteran second baseman to round out
a powerful all-around team. was
dickering for \Vamby with the In».
dians. and a bunch of players would
have gone from Detroit to Cleveland
in exchange.
At the same time Dctroit was ang-
12ng with Connie Mack for Jimmie

transfer five men to the Philadelphia
outfit fol; the Athletic second base-
man. But neither Detroit nor Clcvc-

was decided.

Was learned at Chicago. through

Burns.‘by no means a holdout. in-
tended to benefit in more ways than
one by any trade that was” pulled off.
fine impression became general that
Burns had decided that he was en-
titled to a. part of any purchase mo-
hey.
Immediately the Browns lost in-
terest and finally Cleveland decided
to make the best of the 1924 season
with Browcr and Guisto. Few clubs
are keen after a player who evinces
this attitude in the winter months.
and although everyone acknowledges
that Burns is a. hard working. thor-
eughiy loyal athlete. symtoms of
money madness made no hit with
owner or manager. Immediately all
negotiations for Bums' transfer were
for the time being called off.
It was said that Burns had declar-
ed himself in a way that left no
doubt of his intentions. Rumors of
the big salary that Stuffy Mclnnis is
receiving had evidently gotten to
George's head. And the result is that
this George has been eliminated as a
trading fitter.
President Bobby Quinn of the Red
Sox insists that he knows nothing
whatsoever of this angle of the
Burns' matter. but this was common
talk at the Chicago meeting. and any
one who had been wondering why
the negotiations for Burns‘ trade so
quickly were dropped, now under-
