WINTER DEALS PUTSTRENGTH IN BIG TEAMS More Flag Contenders Are Promised in National as Result of Trades. OTHER BASEBALL NEWS By JACK rrao CK, (International Keiri Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—" Winter trade winds promise to make a hurricane out of the next National League pennant race. Recent player deals and the possibilities of additional trades reported in the making are responsible for this belief in baseball circles today. Trades consummated since the 1920 season closed have added strength where it was most needed to every club Involved, nod no less than half a dozen managerr are still in the market for talent that will add balance to their line-ups. WHAT GIANTS AND BEDS NEED. The Giants need an lnflelder. They could use an outfielder and a southpaw pitcher and they have catchers to trade. The Reds could use an experienced infielder to replace Rath, and possibly an outfielder. The champion Dodgers need a catcher, bat have nothing to trade at present. The Cardinals could also use a catcher and have outfielders to spare. Boston should have a shortstop to take Maranville’s place and the Phillies need a catcher and several other players. The Cubs need more than any other team. Evers la after a first baseman, a third baseman, several pitchers and a pair of outfielders: Pittsburgh might be Interested were It possible to land a seasoned first or third baseman with hitting ability, but as there are no such players available the Pirates probably will stand pat.

WAGNER'S PLACE FILLED AT LAST. Maranville's transfer to Pittsburgh has filled a void that has been In the Pirate line-up since Wagner retired, and as "Mooney” Gibson has a well-balanced outfit Pittsburgh looks like a team that will be in the race from the start. The Beds needed the pitching strength Rixey will giv them, and that very badly. The Cardinals, if they land a catcher, will ie stronger and more dangerous than they were last season. Here are three contenders, on paper. Add to the potentialities of this trio the chances of the champion Dodgers, who will enter the race practically Intact, and the menace of the second-place Giants, and you have a concoction that savors of the hottest kind of a race. These five clubs will leave the barrier with good prospects, the kind that will be sure to make National League fans wriggle with interest from the start. The Chicago Cubs may take on new life under Evers, but they are up against it for badly needed talent and thetr chances at this early date sum to taper off to an interrogation point. The Braves will be stronger than they were last season, and even the Phillies, with anew manager—Bill Donovan —and new blood in their erstwhile anaemic veins, should perk up next summer. GETTING EARLY STAET. ST. LOEIS, Jan. 26—The vanguard of the St. I.ouls Browns will get away for the training camp at Bogaiusa. La., on Sunday, Feb. 20, Business Manager Quinn announced Tuesday.

SALLEE IN FOLD. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The New York Giants added uuwbers but little weight to tiie club today with the addition of "Slim” Salleee. whose signed contract was reported received.

Last year the Cadets defeated the Tooth Pullers by on* point, throwing a field goal ten seconds before the final whistle. The Dentals outclassed the Law School five last night at the Short ridge gymnasium and won by a 64-to-ll score. While It had been expected the Tooth Pullera would win, the followers of the Dental team did not expect a top-heavy score as Captain Witter end Mathew, the powerful guard combination, were not In suits. The game showed two things to the followers of the Dental team. First, that the Dentals are Improving in goal shooting ; and second, th. t Coach Clark has a guard combination that could be used if Witter and Mathew were out. aud still not weaken the defense of the Tooth Pullers to any great extent. Farver played back guard, nnd bis passing and breaking up of opponents' plays was such that the Lawyers never got a close-up shot at the basket. The closest field goal scored by the Law School was in the last minute of play, when Seyfrled caged hts only field goal from the center of the floor and at a difficult angle. All of the other l.aw School's goals were on long shots. McPherson was shifted from forward to floor guard and the Dental whirlwind broke up the opponents' plays and started clever passing that confused the Lawyers. When McPherson was taken out by the coach in the last half, Langsdon. the former Fairmount High School star, appeared to be Just ts fast and clever at guard. In the goal-getting department Reeve led with ten field goals. DeaKvne and MeVangh each bombarded the basket for six field goals, and Gavirti in the eight minutes he was on the floor caged the ball four times and played a fast passing game. The Dents used four substitutes during the game. P.othrock was the bright light for the l.aw School, caging two field goals from two-thirds the length of the gymnasium aud playing k strong defensive game.

The entire Franklin team showed marked Improvement over their piay in December, when Anderson took them down for a defeat on the Franklin floor. Burdette, speedy forward of the Anderson team, was sent to the sidelines for four personal fouls early in the second half and his absence from the court weakened the Anderson offense somewhat Williams was high point man fur the losers, getting four field goals and two fouls. Burdette threw seven goals from the foul line. A urowd of 3,208 fans witnessed the eentaet and several hundred others were twMa. .. _ •

WABASH READY FOR BIG GAME Scarlet Officials Prepared to Handle Huge Crowd at Notre Dame Clash. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 26. Crawford sville is preparing for another Invasion of frenzied Booster basket fans Thursday night, when the. Scarlet-be-decked athletes of Wabash College meet the'Gold and Blue Irish of Notre Dame. Odds, If there are any, favor Wabash In the coming battle, but there Is nothing to Insure an indoor plcnig for the Little Giants and it Is thought that the scrap will be every bit as Interesting an the one staged between Wabash and De Phuw ou the local floor lust week. A crowd that taxed the seating facilities of the Wabash gym saw Coach Pete Vagban’s athletes forced to their top speed to come out of the I>e Pauw scrimmage with a three-point victory margin, and Notre Dame backers assert the Irish will prove themselves every bit as dangerous as the Tigers, if not more so. SCARLET HAS MET STRONGER TEAMS. Neither Notre Dame nor Wabash has lost a collegiate game this season, but Wabash has won in stronger fields than the South Bend athletes. Notre Dame and Wabash piled up about the same size totals against Dayton University, the only team both have met, but Dayton ran up a larger count against Notre Dame than against Wabash, so It looks as though the offense of the two teams is equal, with Wabash having a shade In the offensive argument. The battle between the Wabash and Notre Dame centers, Goldsberry and ilebre, should be the big feature of the coutost. These two players are tue mainstays of tbeir respective teams, and It will Ik> worth while to watch them stage their own little tight. “Cat” Ad nut, Wabash forward, who was injured in the De I’auw pine, is in top form again and ready to go after the points with Goldsberry and Scbaulaub. The Notre Duuie scoring combination will be composed of ilebre, McDermott and Grant. Burns and Grater will take care of the guard positions for Wabash, with Kiley aud Eddie Anderson, famous ends of the Irish grid combination, working at these posts for Notre Dame. On paper this looks like the "makings" of a terrific court struggle.

Caddock was defeated here y Monday by "Strnugler’’ I.ewie who squeeeed the challenger's skull in his giant heudlock, a grip developed by practice with a wooden “head” fitted with box car springs, which yield to the pressure of the wrestler’s great left arm. Joe Stecher, Dick liaviscour? and Ybyasko succumed to the same pressure Each 6' fforod partial paralysis as a result, according to physicians who saw the victims. ‘<bddnok probably will suffer some derangemrnt within the next few day#,” Dr. Leonard Hirschherg said today. “Lewis’ huld is little short of murderous. It should be burred from wrestling. Caddock was the winner Monday so far ns wrestling goes, nut he could not stand up against the terrific pressure which crushed his skull against the brala. Pressure of this sort causes a slow hemorrhage of the brain or restricts the spinal fluid. Tha pressure In Yliyzsko’s case was on the back of the head, paralyzing the optle nerve. •’Lewis’ victim# have recovered, or are re-covering, not because Lewis’ hold 1* not fatal, but because of their superior condition.”

Recently at Madison Square Garden, Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, was seut to the floor by Rlcbie Mitchell. Leonard Is the world's champion and quite proud of bis title, but pride didn't make him Jump up before his head cleared. There is where the champion showed his class. It was rather embarrassing to be floored by Mitchell, but the champion, Instead of jumping up with a trick sinlle in an attempt to impress the audience that it was a slip, stayed on his knee until he had fully recovered from the shock. He knew what a knockdown meant. Ha realized that a knockdown, whether you take a count of one or nine, is a knockdown Just the same. When he arose he was reudy to fight again. llow many other lighters have made the mistake of jumping up too soon 1 Freddie Welch lost his title to Leonard doing that. Freddie was dropped with a right bund that hit him on the side of the head. Ha was too proud to stay down and immediately Jumped up. Dazed and uncertain, he staggered about the ring. Leonard had a clean shot at him and finally knocked him out. Even then Welch was not on the floor. He clung to tne top rope, helpless, as he was counted out. Joe Weillng'did the same trick In his fight with Leonard. Joe was toppled over, and at the count of three arose like a drunken man. He had no defense whatever. He was Just a target. Wiliard at Toledo did the tamo. Billy Mlske at Benton Harbor got up punch drunk at the count of five and was Immediately dropped by Dempsey for the full ten. I.eonard showed Friday night that his noodle is used for aoinethiug else than a bat rack. His knockdown was the feature of the fight.
