UPP Ifc-..- rxy This Cne March-like weather makes one think it is almost tournament time. Speaking of tournaments. 54 cities in which district tournaments will be held on March 8, 9. and 10, were designated Saturday at a meeting of ( the Illinois High School Athletic Association. It is predicted that 725 quintets will take part in the district meets. The winners in the 54 dis- ' tricts will be assigned to places in the sectional tourneys at Benton, Bridgeport, East St. Louis, Jacksonville, Joliet, Normal, Peoria and Rock Island, to be played on March 15, 16 and 17. The eight survivors will meet in the finals at the University ' of Illinois, March 22, 23 and 24. ————— f Mount Carmel captured the 1927 < championship. Elgin, Bloomington. Freeport, Rockford and Centralia each has won the championship twice ] but Elgin is the only city to accomplish the feat in successive years. Already, followers of Big Ten basketball are lookin'; for .some team to 1 stop the fast flying Northwestern 1 quintet. Northwestern is not scheduled to play either Indiana, Purdue or Wisconsin, three of the strongest teams in the circuit, this year. On the other hand, Purdue plays both Indiana and Wisconsin. Unless some of the other teams perk up some and ' stop the Purple, it i.s going to be just too bad. Northwestern has already defeated Michgan and lowa, which are considered the strongest of the six teams on the Wildcats’ ached tile. No Doubt, No Doubt!

HORNSBY TRADE STIRS COMMENT I f j 1 New York Giants Trade ; Star Infielder To Boston Braves By Frank Getty UP Sports Editor New Yotk, Jan. 11.-The strongest 1 and most inexplicable trade In the 1 history of modern baseball has been negotiated between the New York Giants and the Boston Braves. Rogers Hornsby, who was slated to ’ manage the Giants and who was valued at $200,000, goes to Boston in exchange for Francis Hogan, a catcher, and Jimmy Welch, an outfielder. The baseball world was shaken t when the transfer of Hornsby was anr notinced. No one could furnish a i reason for lhe trade. Hornsby was one of the batting leaders during the 1927 campaign, ho was voted the third most valuable • player in the National league, and it i was generally believed that since he i had proved himself a brilliant field , general, he would succeed John J. McGraw whenever the "little Napoleon" chose to step aside. The players whom the Giants receive in exchange for "the Rajah"— since it was stated specifically that no cash was Involved in the deal -are youngsters upon whom McGraw long has hail his eye. - Hogan, McGraw said recently, is one of the best catchers in baseball. But the fact, remains that half a dozen Hogans and as many Welches would not he worth one Rogers Hornsby in the ppen market. McGraw and Charley Stoneham, owner of the Giants, issued a signed statement to the effect that the deal was put through "for lhe good of the club.” Hornsby Is Surprised St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 11.—(UP)—St. I ouis sporting circles were jarred out of mid-winter lethargy today by the trade of Rogers Hornsby, former Cardinal manager, and captain of the New York Giants, to the Boston Braves. "Rajah” personally was advised of the trade by telegram from President Emil Fuchs of the Braves, who said: “Glad to inform you that we have acquired your services from the Giants. Jack Slattery joins me in welcoming yon and to let you knowyon will enjoy life here.” Hornshy admitted he was x at a loss to explain the trade. | He said he knew no 'friction' in New York, and " was puzzled by the Giants’ announcement that the transfer was made for the best interests of the dull. o . St. Louis, Mo. — Johnny Ogden, pitching ace of the Baltimore Orioles of the International league, has been acquired by the St. Louis Browns in a trade involving transfer of pitcher Stewart B.dan, catcher Lee Dixon, and an undisclosed cash consideration. / Cornelius Durkin Teacher of Reed and Band Instruments Naomi Durkin Teacher of Vocal and Piano Announce the opening of their mid-winter term.
