THERE is always a certain amount of pathos attached to the passing of an old diamond avorite from a team with which he as spent almost his entire baseball areer. The recent splurge cf tradig which featured the big league meetings last month resulted in the histing to new surroundings of everal well-known stars, who had ong Deen identified with their paricular teams. “Sunny Jim” Bottomley has ruarded the initial bag for the St. ouis Cardinals for so many years hat the Cards won’t seem like the ame team, now that Jeems has >een traded down the river to the I ihinelend to awing his hickory l nace for Sid Weil’s feeds. Branch Rickey, the master mind if the St. Louis team, has been rooming Jim Collins for Bottom- i ey’s first base position for some i ime past, and it was inevitable that i he genial veteran would be sold or ; raded before another season rolled i .round.

Miller Wins Title Chicago, Jan. 14. —(U.R) —Freddie Miller, pug-nosed youngster from Cincinnati, is the new featherweight champion of the world, in the ring territory governed by the National Boxing Association.

team-mates, as Chick Hafey, the’ present slugging ace of the Reds, I was for years Jim’s sidekick on the t ardinals. Hafey and Bottomley are great pals, and together they helped drive the St. Louis lean, to i three pennants in past seasons. | The acquisition of a hard-hitting veteran like Bottomley should strengthen the Reds, as they gave up little in return for James in the deal with the Cardinals. Cincinnati fans are said to b» happier over the acquisition of Sunny Jim than at any time since I the late Christy Mathewson was I shipped to the Reds by John Me- 1 Graw, years and years ago Bottom ley's personality should be a I help to the gate, and his hitting ability will make up for the loss of Babe Herman. Another well-known veteran who will be seen in a new uniform this spring is Fred “Firpo” Marberry, the huge hurler who has been a familiar figure with the Washington Senators for nearly a decade, and who was traded last month to Detroit even up for Earl Whitehill. Like Bottomley. Marberry will find an old friend among his new team-1

J mates this coming season, for the 1 manager of the Detroit outfit is none other than “Bucky” Harris, who was “Firpo’s” old boss at Washington before Walter Johnson took the reins there. Marberry always liked Harris, and he promises to throw his arm out sot "Bucky” this season. liarris handled "Firpo” with consummate skill in the days when he was • pi.oting the Senators to a pen lant iand the erstwhile boy leader thinks that the burly moundsman is still lone of the best in the league. The big Texan didn’t get along so well with Walter Johnson at i Washington last year, and had a rather poor season, being confined Ito hm old specialty of relief hurling after he had gotten off t.» a poor start in his regular mound work. m ' n season, however Marberry began to come through in grand style, and this convinced Harris that the giant Texan still has all his old stuff left. “Btcky” is sure that Marberry will prove a very valuable addition to the Tig era hurling corps during the coming campaign.

It surely was a real Friday the thirteenth for the Decatur high school teams. Two decisive defeats. 000 Those defeats ought to make the Yellow Jackets and Commodores tough enough to eat raw meat. Sure is hard on yours truly, especially after we asked for four victories this weekend. Half of 'em are shot already. 000

In Wednesday night's column we bragged about the Commodore defense I.sot night the defense was decidedly weak. St. Rose obtaining plenty of good shots, and making most of them too. 000 We did get one good laugh last night. In the second preliminary to the Commodore game, the Rockets from Monmouth beat thei Commodore alumni 20 to 19. ; Moses, Rocket forward, entirely | lost his sense of direction during the third quarter. He grabbed the! ball near his own basket, dribbled i the length of the floor and scored ' a basket for the alumni. Must! have thought he was in the bull- ' rushes. 000 Can you imagine the nerve of a ball player that will spot ms opponents two points in the above manner, giving said opponents an 11-point leaa, and then nose out a victory by one point? That really is studying your hand and then playing it. 000 Jakey Hill, former Yellow Jacket forward, certainly was the hot shot of the evening at the Commodore gym. He led the scoring, for the Rockets with four field. goals and three free throws. | Three of his baskets were regis-l

tered from in or behind the center' circle. And it was Jakey who tossed in the winning free throw at er the final gun fired. 000 The Kendallville Comets put up a terrific battle at Fort Wayne Friday s night, losing to the South Side Archers by one point, 30 to 29. 000 Those Auburn Red Devils certainly raised caln with the Yellow Jackets last night, 34 to 17. By registering this victory, Auburn moved into a tie for the lead in the Northeastern Indiana Conference i with the Hartford .City Airdales, each team having won [ five games with no defeats. 000 Bi? Dave Williams had a good night again Friday. The Auburn i center sank five shots from the' field and five from the four line for a total of 15 points. Berg, a I terward, scored 12 points. Auburn I '°d all the way. 000 The B'uffton Tigers were the i victims of a startling upset last | night, losing to the Garrett Ballroaders at Garrett, 25 to 19. It was the first conference victory of the season for the Railroaders. . 000 North Side of Fort Wayne took It on the chin last night, losing to Angola. 35 to 26. Columbia Cltv downed Huntington. 32 to 29. Hartford City trounced Portland 49 to 10, Central Catholic beat Elmhurst 34 to 15, Anderson beat Bedford 25 to 21.

Japanese airplanes bombed Cheng's fleeing army. Chinese sources reported that the “big swords" commanded by Gen. Feng Chan Hal contacted Japanese outposts near Taonan and that skirmishes were increasing. Gen. Tang Yu-Lin, cooperating with Feng's raiders, telegraphed the military command here that it was difficult to keep lu communication with guerilla leaders.
