(Hack) Wilson, traded to the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, yesterday along with Bud Teachout, southpaw pitcher, by the Chicago Cubs far Burleigh Grimes. All hough Samuel Breadon, Cardnals' president, neither has affirmed nor denied that he will keep Wilson, rumors would not down that the former National league home run king will be traded to mother club before the 1932 season. Three possible deals for Wilson have been mentioned. They are: To Brooklyn for Dazzy Vance or Johnny Frederick. To the Boston Braves along with other players and cash for Ed Brandt, star southpaw who won IS games and lost 11 last year. To Cincinnati for third baseman Joe Stripp. Inasmuch as Boston has shown no inclination to part with Brandt, the player most wanted, not only by the Cardinals, but the Cubs and me or two other clubs as well, it seems that Wilson will wind up with Brooklyn if he is traded. The Robins are willing to gamble on Wilson staging a comback a ter his disastrous slump from 1930 to 1931 but it is a mystery why the Cardinals want Vance, five months older than the 38-year-old Grimes and whose salary last year was 1 $23,000, approximately $5,000 more than Grimes drew. The fact that Branch Rickey, vice-president of the Cardinals, wagered a hat with Hornsby, Cubs’ manager that Wilson wouldn't play I a game with the Cardinals next | season lends evidence to the freely circulated stories that the highst salaried player in the National league last year will be passed on to other parts. Wherever Wilson winds up. whether it is with the Cards, Robos. Braves or Reds, he is due for me of the biggest salary slashes any player ever received in the majors. His salary last year was $37,500, and the Cards, for instance, didn’t pay tlnyr two greatest players. Grimes and Frisch, that much. Wilson will be lucky to stay in the five-figure cla u s. His 56 home runs, 1 National league record, and 190 runs batted in, a major league record, in 1930 enabled Wilson to command his big wage last year. Breadon's only comment on Wilon's future is, "The Cardinals are always trying to get good ball players. If we think Wilson still Is a good ball players we may keep him." ' "‘i, As for the Cubs, they are highly : dated over their end of the trade | which enabled them to get rid of two players which were a total loss to them last season and at the same time get one of the best ' •money pitchers" in the game. WilLon batted only .'261 last season Lml Teachout won only 1 game and 'lost two. Despite 16 years of major league service with five clubs. Grimes gave no indictaion during the 1931 season or world series that he was nearing the end of his career. [Grimes won 17 games and lost 9 last season and won two world ser-

Strong

ies games, the third and seventh, the last one deciding the series. I When Grimes dons a Cubs' unifot tn he will have played for every National league club except Cin- | cinnati and Philadelphia. Why Grimes has been bartered from club to club a.nd pitching winning baseball for all of them is one of the National league’s most perpelxing mysteries. His all time major leagues record shows 329 victories and 189 defeats. The Braves were envolved in two minor league deals, buying third baseman Bill Knot he from the Seattle Pacific Coast league club and selling first baseman Earl Sheely and catcher Bill Cronin to Los Angeles for $7,500 each. Geo. Burns, veteran major league first baseman, who was a free agent, signed to play with Seattle next season. • The American league voted to use the small ball against next year and called a spring meeting for February 2 at New York City. The National league voted down a proposal to number all players, and also an attempt to revive the most valuable player award. The time of the batting practice of the visiting team was reduced from 30 to 20 minutes. The two leagues met today in a joint session at which synthetic doubleheaders, the player limit, reduction of umpires, and other economy measures were expected to be discussed. o Ambassador's Family Exiled Paris.—(U.R) —Mlle. Katia Krassin, daughter of the late Russian ambassador in London, is living an exiled life here, due to poverty and hard times. The pension that was supposed to lie paid to Mlle. Krassin's family was cut off by the Soviet government a few months ago on the pretext that the family had refused to return to Russia. The entire family, now the mother and three daughters, is on the Soviet black list as hostile to the proletariat.

St. Marys

Congratulations are due Coach Laurent and his Commodores for the fine way they disposed of the strong St. Marys of Huntington t am. The Comm dores went into the game the underdog and remained so the first half—Then things started and the 23-16 score was decisive. It seemed good to have Pete Reynolds back again—Pete was sports editor of the Daily Democrat last winter, and made a lot of friends here—but the fact that Decatur was his step-city didn’t influence him in his officiating. The Decatur Cloverleafs went into a tie for first place in the Wabash net league last night by trimming LaFountaine 33-31. First place is where the Cloverleafs shor.ld have been all season—and it looks now like they'd stay there. Coach Curtis takes his Yellow Jackets to Delphi tomorrow niiht. BEAT DELPHI.

0. S. AIR MAIL f COST WAS LOW Washington, Dec. 7.— (U.R) -Development of the air mail system has cost the government little in comparison with other forms of transportation and communication, according to an article by Charles L. Lawrence, president of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America, Inc., which appeared recently in an issue of the magazine, "Western Flying.” Sixty-seven millions have been spent by the Post Office Department on the air mail system in the last 14 years and Lawrence has it figured that the cost of development for each mile of [hat system is less than one-third of the! amount expended by the govern-] ment for every mile of motor road 1 constructed and 2.94 per cent of the investment represented by a single mile of railway. Lawrence further points out that the capacity of the airways, unlike] that of railways or highways, is : unlimited; that it will not be neces-: sary to rebuild from time to time as traffic increases, for with the I establishment of an airway the only ! ' subsequent costs are for mainte- | nance. - o—[Here s Your Chance to Get Buffalo For Pet — I [ Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 10.— [ 1 (U.R)— If somebody would like a nice | shaggy 1,200 or 1.300 pound buffalo II for a pet (but not to eat), he need 1 only ask.
