RED SOX OBTAIN PAIR OF OUTFIELDERS
Dutch Leonard Sent to Pittsburgh; Max Carey, Kiki Cuyler to Sox

BOSTON--Jimmy Collins has been pulling all the right strings lately, and the Red Sox have responded, moving into a first-place tie with the Detroit Tigers.

Today, the management pulled another string, sending pitcher Dutch Leonard to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a pair of outfielders, Max Carey and Kiki Cuyler.

The veteran Carey will provide the powerful Sox outfield trio of Irish Meusel, Tris Speaker, and Babe Ruth with some well-earned rest during the "dog days" of summer. Cuyler is one of the most exciting young prospects in the game, and will be sent to New Bedford for seasoning.

****************
The computer GM of the Pirates must see something I don't here. "He" suggested the deal, and I pulled the trigger...
