HOOVER STARTS TOWARD HOME I President-elect Starts Last Stage Os Latin American Goodwill Tour By Thomas L. Stokes (United Press Staff Correspondent) Montevideo, Uruguay, Dec. 17—(UP) —President-elect Hernert Hoover began today the laM stage of his Latin American goodwill tour. The party arrived here last night on board the Argentine cruiser Buenos Aires from the Argentina Capital across river,. The arrival in Montevideo marked the first stop on the trip northward. The second demonstration on behalf of the Nicaraguan rebels was encountered last night, when a group variously estimated from 30 to 100 in the crowd before the government palace shouted “Viva Sandino.” Uruguayan officials who were with the President-elect were greatly chagrined" by the demonstration. Several of the leaders were led away in handcuffs. The previous pro-Sandino demonstration occurred during the American statesman’s visit to Buenos Aires. Four men there carted banners in favor of the Nicaraguan rebel leader. When the party arrived at the pier, there were some attempts to demonstrate for General Sandino, but they were drowned out by cries of "Viva Hcovef" by the crowd. o — MONROE DEFEATS HARTFORD, 29-15 After a closely contested first half, the Monroe high school basketball team ran away from the Hartford high school Gorillas, in their game in the Decatur high school gym, Saturday night, and won the game by a score of 29-15. The first half ended with Monroe leading 11-10. In the preliminary game, the Monroe second team won from the Hartford reserves 8-7.

Previous to unveiling the granite memorial, a corner stone was laid for a huge national monument which will be erected by authorization of congress. A flag to be flown at the memorial was presented by the Wright home town —Dayton—through Rep. Fitzgerald. of Ohio. The pilgrimage was arranged by the International Civil Aeronautics conference in cooperation with the National Aeronautic association. —o Mrs C. E.

WRIGHT AND JESS PETTI IN TRADE New York. Dec. 17 — (U.R) — Two National league ball players who had their troubles last season will wear new uniforms this season as a result of the trade which sent Glen Wright, star shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, to the Brooklyn Robins for Jess Petty, left-handed pitcher, and Harry Diconda, utility infielder. The deal completed last week between Donnie Bush, manager of the Pirates, and Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Robins, was the only one 'negotiated between National league clubs at the annual meeting which closed yesterday. Wright, who was rated the best shortstop in the National league in 1924 and 1925, failed to play up to his best at Pittsburgh last season. His play slumped badly toward the end of the season and he was benched in favor of Dick Bartell and Sparky Adams. However, Wright finished the season with a batting average of .310. He is only 26, and has played but five

seasons of major league baseball, all of them with the Pirates. Petty was fined S2OO and suspended by "Unde Robbie" at one time last season for breaking the training rules. He was sent home, while the RobimT were on the road and when he arrived in Brooklyn told newspapermen he would never pitch another game for the Robins. Later, however, he changed his attitude and was reinstated by Robinson. Petty won lb games and lost 14 last season. He has a reputation of losing more close games than any pitcher in the league and it was said that he used to tell the Robins, “Give me one run and I’ll win." The Robins threw in Riconda to swing tlie deal after the Pirates had turned down an even trade, Wright for Petty. Previously, the Robins had refused to give Bill Clark, young pitcher, aud Jack Flowers, infielder, for Wright.
