D’ARMOND MAY JUMP TO
PENNSYLVANIA OUTLAWS
Ye.v gentle reader, PeArraond was traded
to N.'ifthrllle for rearamt.
Bur that's no blooming sign that I>eAr«
m«nd will go to Nashville.
Iu fart, whan last haard from DeArmond
wii» talking vary atrenuously abojit Jnrup-
lnc to tha outlaws and taking a trip to
Johnstown.
«'hlef Zimmer pulled off tha trade be
en ur- DeArmond waa not aatlafled to play
In Uttle Rock. And now the gentleman
«lth tha fancy name wishes 1 to announce
thfit ha la not satisfied to play with Nash
ville either, and that ha la likely to fly to
th« Mfe harbor of all disgruntled ball play-
are—tha outlaw league.
f'lilef Zimmer left last night for Clara-
land and hli brother. W. W. Zimmer, tha
business manager of the team, la In charge
during bln absence.
Mr. Zimmer was delighted with tha
crowd* it the park Wednesday, but dis
trusted with the showing of the Little Rock
"1 think that those ware tha worst games
I aver saw the team play/' ha aald. *'We
have been off at various times, but never
( ga badly as yesterday. I guess the crowd
did It. The team wanted to do well before
those 3,800 people, and as a result made a
mess of it.
"Over In Little Rock tha team has bean
drawing very well considering the position
they have I wen occupying. And It will not
surprise me at any time to see the bunch
draw out of the hole. Individually the Lit
tle Rock team Is a good one and cost the
Association quite a bunch of money. Dren-
nen and Rill Douglass, for Instance, had to
be bought. Then the chief apent a lot of
money making trips after players. He has
a good bunch, too, and whan things begin
to break their way, If they ever do, we
will do l»etter than finish In last place."
An Interview with Billy Smith was not
productive of much news. "I’m going to
do something about those suspended play
ers pretty soon, but nothing Is stirring as
yet."
And that was all there was to It.
