Cleveland Refuses
,241,000 Offer For
Vosmik and Averill
Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 22.—Pres-
ident Alva Bradley of the Cleve-
land Indians baseball club dis-
closed late Tuesday he had refused
an offer of over $241,000 by the
New York Yankees for left fielder
Joe Vosmik and Center Fielder
Earl Averill.
“We are not trying to sell play-
ers, we are trying to buy them,”
said Bradley in disclosing .the
Yankees’ offer for • Vosmik and
Averill, made at the Chicago base-
meeting in December.
Bradley said he refused because
“we • want the Cleveland club to-
be fighting it out for the pennant
with- Detroit and Boston rather
than New York. '
Vosmik Tuesday signed a three-
' year contract believed to call for
up-to-date school buildings in the
state.
Plans call for twelve (class
rooms and a combination audi-
torium and gymnasium. The audi-
torium will be equipped with 800
opera seats, and enough space will
remain for 400 additional seats.
The securing of the new school
building was made possible by a
PWA grant of $22,500 supplemented
by a bond issue of $10,500 by the
citizens of Bardwell and insur-
ance from the old building, of
$17,500.
Construction of the building is
expected to begin this week.
