SALE OF GRQH TO GIANTS ONE , OF THE BIGGEST Outfielder Burns, Catcher Gonzales and SIOO,OOO Given for Star Cincy Red. BOOSTS M’GRAW TEAM BUFFALO, Dec. 7.—Trade winds started blowing here today as the baseball magnates got warmed up to their favorite winter pastime. TVlth the announcement of the deal that brings Ileinie Groh back to the Giants from Cincinnati for George Burns, Mike Gonzales and something like SIUO,000 In cash, other magnates loosened up with announcements. The Groh deal is the biggest pulled off in baseball sinee the Yankees bought Babe Ruth from Boston. The little thirdbaseman takes his place among the highesGpriced ball players In the history of the game. The deal was not unexpected. It had been talked of for manyTUontbs. Consensus of opinion among baseball men here is that it “makes" the Giants and will give rival clubs something unusually high to shoot at If they hope to compete with McGraw s team next season. The Detroit Tigers, still looking for pitching talent, will try out two l’aciflc Coast twlrlers in the spring. President Navln has purchased Pitchers Piliett and Johnson from the Portland team for cash ; and players. i President- Tom Hayden of the Joplin club announced that he has signed Juej Dunn to manage that team next season. He has also traded First Baseman Snedecor to Omaha for Infielder Spraucer j and li-fielder Krueger to Oklahoma City i for Infielder Shaniey. Jack Coffey, who resigned as manager of the Des Sloines club at the close of the past season, will manage the Hart- I lord club next year. The Galveston club ba3 traded Catcher Lapan to Little Rock for Infielder Moore. With the resignation of George Sic- | Bride as manager of the Washington Senators, Clark Griffith is casting about . for anew pilot. “I haven't any one in particular in mind." said Griffith toteday. Mcßride- resigned because of 1U ; health, but he will be retained as elut scout, it is said. Many of the minor leagues today were taking issue with M. 11. Sexton, president of the National Association, who laid stress on the need of retrenchment. Most of the club owner* said that baseball men made money las” season uli ov -r the “bush league' territory and that the game Is not on or near the rocks.

HAVANA, Dec. 7.—“ This is great news. It’s Just like returning home after o vacation in some foreign country.’’ commented Ileinie Groh, when informed today tlmt he iuul been traded by Cincinnati to the New Turk Giants. “I always did like New York and McGraw will never regret his action In securing my services,” slid Groin Groh Is spending a vacation here and playing with Otto Miller's barnstormers.

cation Into conference Tuesday afternoon i and It was decided to hold the regular winter meeting of the American Association at Chicago, Dec. 20, at the Sherman HoteL By a vote of five cities to three It was decided to retain the IOS-game schedule during the 1922 season, rather than go , back to the old 104-game schedule plan. Indianapolis, St. Paul and Milwaukee were the three cities favoring the shorter itinerary of 104 games, while those to 1 vote In favor of the retention of the 16!>game schedule were Louisville. Columbus, Toledo, Kansas City Minneapolis. President Hickey fa’, ored the shorter schedule, but the majority cities held to the point that the last season was a banner one for the organization and there was no occasion to go back to the shorter program. The headquarters of Manager John Me- ; Grave of the New York Giants are crowded during a greater part of the day with j American Association magnates os well ; as other baseball club owners anxious to ' get a line on some of the surplus talent , which the Giant boss expects to dispose of before spring. Manager Jack Hendricks *of the Indianapolis Club held a short conference with McGraw on Tuesday and was as ■ured that the Indians would get the pick of this surplus before any of It was traded or 6old off to otner clubs as payment for Ralph Shinners. It was announced that the New York Club had turned back its option on the services of Hank Sehreiber, star shortstop of the Indians, who finished the season with the Giants. It Is understood that a number of other major league clubs de- : sire Sehreiber and the new turn of events ! may open the way for another trade. which may strengthen the Indianapolis, team. * ..... i Another veteran outfielder who Is likely to go to the Cincy Reds is Zach Wheat, of tne Brooklyn club. President Herrmann had a talk with Charley Ebbets today and proposed a deal for Wheat. Sam Crane will be given In exchange for Wheat, for Ebbets feels that he must strengthen hts infield, as he figures Ivan Olson may not last much longer. The Reds will have to give another player In addition to Crane, but Manager Moran fells that Wheat will be worth it. Wheats hit .330 last year and he always is well over the .300 mark. The Clncv deal with the San Fran'-'sce club for Jimmy Caveny was completed late Tuesday. Caveny cost the Reds |25,000 In cash and four players, but all reports on him are that he is well worth the price paid. The St. Louis club has not waived claim on Charley See, but If he cannot be delivered an agreement for extra monev was reached with Pi*. Strneb, president of the San Francisco club, so that Caveny absolutely is soured for the Reds. He will be the regular Cincy shortstop next season. • The Red officials spent several hours with Manager Del Howard, of the Oakland club, Tuesday, but failed to r<-ach an agreement for the transfer of Third Baseman Pinellt Howard Insisted on plavers In exchange whom the Cincinnati club may not be able to deliver. It Is said that Catcher Gonzales, sent from the Giants to the Reds In the Groh deal, will be traded to Toledo for Pitcher McCullough.

Brothei Paul Asserts Bad Advice Led Ruth to Br?ak Baseball Law

BALTIMORE. Dec. 7.—Connmnting today on the suspension and fin*' of Babe Hath by Judge Landis. Brother Paul of St. Miry’s Industrial School, Ruth's “alTja mater,” declared Ruth was badly advlc-d. Brother Taul has been Babe's friend and adviser for years. “ftrtb had been badly advised In deciding to make the barnstorming trip.” said Brother Paul “It was sentiment more than money that prompted his action. however.” He pointed out that the great batsman could have made more money in other enterprises. _ ~ “Fans In small towns wanted to se Ruth. Both Babe and I had received hundreds of letters from baseball enthusiasts In the small tnwn% who had no opportunity to see him. Their enthusiasm prompted him to make the trip.” Brother Paul said he was expecting a visit from Ruth within the next few weeks, when the situation created by the and fine would be dlionised.

PURDUE, DE PAUW, WABASH AND BUTLER NET TEAMS LOOM STRONG

This week will ge<> some of the otb’T fives making their debut berore enthusiastic audiences and another xveek will see every college basket quintette In the State up to Its neck in the schedules that each and aVery Hoosier team is hoping to convert Into t lie greatest record la Its respective history. S- veral teams look exceptionally strong. Over at C’rawfordsville Pete Vaughan has got his Inst year's team back with two exceptions, anil even Purdue will admit that the Scarlet quintette lust year wns one of iho very best In tho Middle West. The Boilermakers, who went into a triple ti for the Western Conference championship, were t" ice defeated by Wabash. Schanlaub and Adam, forwards, ar the only members of this team who are not working out now under tho tutelage of Coach Vaughan. This leaves the Scarlet mentor with such good material ns Goldsberry, nllIndlana college center, and Burns and Grater, the boot defense In the State last year, with tae exception of Purdue’s wonder guards. Iu addition. Crane, Goldsberry’s former running mate on the Wingate five, Is enrolled nt Wabash and It Is almost certain that ho will bo called upon to fill one of the gaps left by Schanlaub ond Adam. Besides this several mer who played tho utility role on last year's five are back again, showing more for n than ever before, and the freshman turnout is one of tbe best In a long while. Piggy Lambert had In Miller and White last year two of the greatest guards in the country, but that was about all. Practically alone these two men carried Purdue to a tie for Conference honors White was the highest individual scorer In the lilg Ten.

Indiana Net Five Takes on Hanover in Clash Tonight

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Dec. 7. —Indiana has two basket-ball games this week, the first of which is tonight on the local floor with Hanover College. On Saturday night the Crimson, will clash here with ludiana Dentals. Coach Levis has been xvorking his men every night and Is devoting much time to defensive play, on which his men were weak in the Manchester scrap. In the curtain raiser to the Manchester game the coach used three full teams ana will continue to give all his men a chance to show what they can do before the opening of Mm regular Conference season shortly after the Christmas holidays. Butler Takes Double Bill From Local Basket Teams Butler College took on a couple of opponents last night on the basket court anil did not have much trouble In wlnning both contests. The first garno with the Indiana Law School was won by it 35 to 14 count, while the second aetto was even easier, the Butlerltes piling up a 55 to 13 score against the FairlmnksMorso quintette. Hooker. Leslie and Harmeson played well in the first game. Itothrock for the Lawyers was the star es his lean). In the second gstne with the Fairbanks crow the former Tech players, Griggs and Black, starred for Conch Page's team. Griggs was high score man with 18 points as ills contribution to the evening’s entertainment. Butler was too strong for the electric five ami counted steadily all through the contest. The losers were forced to take most of their shots from ithe center of the floor because of the stiff defense of the Pagomen. IRISH ELECT HOCKEY LEADER. SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Dec. 7.

It Is not so mow.; this fact that Is putting cheer Into the hearts of Page's followers as It Is the freshman turn-out that answered the cnll of the Blue and White mentor. Griggs and Black, ex-Tech stars; Ilurmoson of Manual, Colway, last year's hack guard on tho strong Muriels five: hA-ach, one of the greatest basket-ball pm.vcri ever turned out of Seymour High School, and Hall, the giant back guard friiin Logansnort, are only a few of the yearlings which page is looking over. In studying the personnel of the Butler team that did so well last year. It looks like there Is only one man who Is absolutely sure of his place. He Is Hooker. Tile Blue and White captain !s one of tho classiest goal-getters In Indlaua. | If tho Butler team really does come ■ through as expected Its efforts will not ! ho wasted on woefully weak teams, for | this year Coach Page has got his men I stepping through a schedule that Includes I the strongest teams In the Middle West. I The Page men will get their first real test j of the season next Saturday night when | they meet, the local Chamber of Commerce | five at Tomlinson Ilall. If they are able to produce enough stuff to send this team composed of Doc Campbell and Hinkle, ! All-Conference players; Hennessey and ) Stevens and Bushman, they should be I ready to meet anything In the way of eolj leglate competition. Franklin lias been rather down nnd out i In the way of athletics for the past few j years, but from the looks of tho basketball candidates this year the Baptists are coming back with a bang. Captain Os Pike, Gilmore, Rich, Campbell, Records, j Strohl, Weber, Ivuhny, Owens and l'rltch- ] ard are the veterans who answered Coach i Nelp's initial call. The freshmen candl- ! dates who are out to displace some of these veterans Include among their number men who have gained State-wide recognition on strong high school fives. Chief of these are Frlddle, center on the championship Franklin team of yenr before last; Gale, ex-Anderson floor guard, who was selected for an nll-State position; Rlebeson of Shelbyville, one of the best forwards in southern Indiana; Merrill ijf Crawfordsvllle and Colette of Au--1 burn. The Baptists will be given an opportunity to show their worth Thursday night when they tackle the Eui-Roes in this city. Hanover conclusively proved to nil who witnessed the Butler game last Friday night that they aro In for a great i season If they can keep up their starting j pace, nnd must be reckoned with by any I flvo In the State.

Powell, forward, they have a goal getter who in his work here appeared the equal of any in the State. The rest of the team looked strong and the whole outfit appoars admirably well balanced. Indiana and Earlham are two schools whose basket prospects at this time are more or less In doubt., but enthusiasm and confidence is said to be running high at both Institutions. Familiar names were lacking In the line up that Indiana used against Manchester and it may bo that 1 Coach Levis has received enough material from Lis last year’s freshman team alone to form a powerful aggregation. Marxson, forward; Thomas, floor guard, and Dobbins, back guard, are left from last year’s team with Dean nll-Conferenee center, and Dehorlty. forward, among i hose missing. If the new men come through as Crimson fans feel certain they will, Indiana is in for a big year and a high place in tho Conference race. Earlham at this time is assuming a mysterious aspect and no publicity is Issuing from the Quaker school. It znay be that tho Richmond mentor is holding something up his sleeve that will blossom out In a sensational manner. Several veterans of the strong last year’s five are knownfAo be back In haruess and they alone should make the Quaker outfit a strong one. A

B( FFALO, Dec. 7.—Listeners around the baseball lobby conference here today might he led to believe the National League pennant race next year is In. Bright lights of the majors and the high minds of the minors voiced the opinion that John McGraw's purchase of Ileinie Groh, the Cincinnati third baseuian. gave the New York Giants a heaillock on the next pennant. Wise baseball heads, however, do not agree on the business sagacity of the deal whereby the New York club gave a star outfielder, George Burns, a fair catcher, Mike Gonzales, and a sum reported around sloo,Dun for a player who has no more than four or five years ahead of him and no great drawing power at the gate. Some sentiment was expressed that the deal would not be good fur National League baseball. “There’s not much need to piny out the schedule now." one prominent National Leaguen said. In buying Groh, McGraw gave the greatest sum ever put up for a player whom he allowed to get him six years ago. No Heal Money, Says Frazee BOSTON.
