REDLAND FANS FAVOR RECENT CLUB CHANGES Groh Affair and Deal for Coast Stars Approved by Cincy Rooters. ROUSH CASE UNSETTLED CINCINNATI, Pec. 10.—The opinion Is freely expressed by the best posted local baseball men that the Cincinnati Club has strengthened Its forces materially and may be quite a factor In the National League race next season. The acquisition of George Burns for Heine Groh is spoken of as one of the smartest trades ever pulled off by the Beds. In this deal the club not only, rid Itself of a man who had been anxious to get away for some time, but also filled the position of Koush in . center field and at the same time received so large a bundle of coin that several other purchases of players may easily be mads TWO OF COASTS’ BEST PLATERS. The purchase of Caveney and rinelli from the Coast League brings to Cincinnati the two most promising players in that section, and both of these deals were accomplished without giving mp a single player of value to the Beds, with the P***" slble exception of Pitcher Mitchell, who was Included in the trade for Caveney without having been given a trial in tne major league. . .. All of tne Western League men at tn. Buffalo meeting agreed that Mitchell has all the signs of a major league hurler. but he might have been a bloomer in last company, and, at any rate, the Beds retain a string on him, and if be umke. good on the coast next year he will be recalled for the Cincinnati Club In 19-3. The other players sent to the coast were all men who would not have been

Baseball the Leader PHILADELPHIA, Pec. 10.—Baseball is the most popular sport with University of Pennsylvania freshmen, Dr. R. Tait McKenaie, head of the department of physical education, said today In making public an analysis of questionnaires tilled out by the first-year men as a part of their phys--1,-aj examination. Tennis takes second place and football third. Out of 1,000 examinations, I>r. McKenzie said, 3#5 favored baseball, 310 tennis and and -93 football.

retained with the Bens, so are no loss to the team. The amount of cash money paid in addition to players was only *&>.- 000 so that the club still has the large sum of *65.000 remaining oTer from the amount of the cash consideration in the Groh deal. . ... President Herrmann says all of this money and probably more will be spent for players as soon as the opportunity arises to secure the men wanted by Manager Moran. TO USE MONEY FOR MORE STARS. “We did not make the deal for Groh in order to get money,” said the Bed chief. “Not a cent of the big sum received in that trade will be used for any other purpose than to strengthen the team for next year." Rumors circulating around New York that Eddie Roush will eventually come to the Giants were spiked by Mr. Herrmann, who said: “Our board of directors is unanimous in its decision not to stand for any more hold-outs. We have traded Groh because we thought it was vastly better for the team to do so. and this was done only on the advice and at the urgency of Manager Moran. But no deal will be made for Roush. We consider his demand of a three-year contract for *34,000 entirely out of line, and will have no further correspondence with him on the subject.” The Red Infield is now set, with Daubert at first: Bohne. at second; l’lnelli, at third, and Caveney, at shortstop. Manager Moran will also retain Louis Fonseca as general utility man, and he has Berryhill and Fowler, both of whom are college shortstops of much promise, and T ikely to be kept with the club if they show any real form at the training camp. Both Larry Kopf and Sam Crane will go to other major league clubs. The probable destination of Kopf Is Washington, although Miller Huggins, of the Yankees, is still in the field for him. Crane will go to either Pittsburgh or Brooklyn.

RING GOSSIP

Australian Tennis Stars Coming Again to Try for Honors Fine Work of Anderson Has Greatly Encouraged His Countrymen. NEW’ YORK, Dec. 10.—Australia is keenly interested next year's Davis Cup contest. This is evident from the fact that before its team reached home from this season's invasion of the United States plans were taking shape for the trip in 1922. The fine performances of J. O. Anderson have greatly encouraged his countrymen, and they anticipate entering a team next season even stronger than this year's representatives. Writing in the Sydney Referee, “Austral” offers the following comment: “J. O. Anderson's defeat of William T. Tiiden opens up a fresh vista for the Australasian team of 1922. It brightens the prospects of the men of the Southern Cross actually and morally. Lawn tennis leaders will now concentrate on the great objective, with renewed determination to relieve Uncle Sam of his Davis Cup. "Writing last week of Tilden’s magnificent performances during the last fifteen months, 1 said that some day G. L. Patterson or J O. Anderson might defeat him. One little thought that actually the next day one’s surmise would prove a prophecy. It is truly magnificent. We never anticipated, when our team of colts went uway, that they would return with such a fine record, and not one of us dreamed that any one of the team would have 'Tilden's scalp at his belt. “Anderson evidently played his own game and at his top. As to the strength of his strokes, there has never been much doubt. In 1914, after my trip around the world, I wrote in this column that there was not a forehand drive in the world equal to his. Os course, that of W. M. Johnston, as we saw It at Auckland, is superior to anything we ever saw from Anderson, but his drive on the forehand must have improved vastly. In addition, he must have improved out of sight all round.” After saying that due allowance should be made for the fact that Tiiden had doubtless “let down” after the strain of his championship ma.ches and that the importance of Anderson's victory should not be over emphasized, “Austral” continues: “This win has changed the whole aspect of the next Davis Cup match, if Anderson can manage to go across next year. That is just the rub. To go two years running is a big expense for a young fellow. Probably the difficulty will be got over, for with Anderson in such form and Patterson as he should be. and with Brookes and O'Hara, Wood and Hawkes and others to choose from for the doubles, we should gd close Indeed to even defeating America."

Independent Net Teams Urged to Keep Hands Off Players on College Fives j By TEDDER CARD. The sooner managers of Independent basket-ball teams learn that they are much belter off if they let the college ; player alone, the better off the great net game will be. After a player has given his years of service to his s- hool team I is time enough for hitn to turn to lndoi pendent ball. The money to be made in some Instances by college stars is quite a temptation because usually cash is far from plentiful around an Institution of 1 learning. It really should not be neces- ; sary for any college player to have to turn down such an offer. Independent managers ought not even think of offering an tndiiepmet to a player while that player is still in college. No matter how popular a sport is it can be given a flavor which the public 1 does uot n-llsh tha will eventually cause Its downfall. No such fate is predicted for the net game, but a word of warning is not amiss right at this time. The Independent teams throughout the ■ State should “watch their step,” for the game can be dragged down slowly by unscrupulous managers. Frequently a temporary gain may mean permanent loss. Another thing, all Independent players throughout the State should be careful in their attitude. “Strolling players” who one night may be seen with < :ie team and the next night with some other outfit, are doing the game nn Injury. Rasket fans want to Bee five men represent one team. A team that plays men who roam all over with different squads loses its drawing power as a distinct unit. At present there la no organization that controls to any extent the actions of the army of Independent basket-ball players and teams. It Is up to the individuals and the various managements. A bit of timely advice to net teams is this: j “Play the game on the square.”

Veeck-Killefer Rumor Merely a Coast Dream CHICAGO, Doc. 10.—Some gent out In Los Angeles conceived an idea yesterday and with the usual speed with which bad news travels, his idea went tearing across the country, only to fade out Into Just what It was —nothing. The Idea was that President William Veeck and Manager Bill KUlefer had resigned from the Cubs and that Frank Chance would forsake his Glendora, (CnL) orange grove to come East and assume the leadership of the north aiders. Tho story had it that Veeck and Killcfer had been forced to throw up their jolts ns the result of their failure to get Helnle Groh. Veeck didn't eveu take the trouble to deny the report. After finishing a hearty laugh, he said: “Well, if l had paid the Cincinnati Club *175,000 for Groh, I probably would have quit and I'd have done it before the club owners had time to chase me out. Killefer Is signed up for next season and the prospects are good for his remaining longer." Veeck had a conference yesterday with Bill KUlefer’* brother Wade, who manages the Los Angeles Club. Tlie talk Is supposed to have centered around Outfielder Arnold Htatz and Pitcher Vic Aldridge, and it is a good bet that the transfer of these players from the Angels to Cubs will be announced shortly.

Undefeated W. and J . Grid Team of East Coached by Neale Ball Player Makes Good as Football Mentor With Great Eleven. While we hear much of Charlie Moran and his success with that football team that halls from Danville, Ky., representing Centre College, friends of Earl (Greasy) Neale ask that he be remembered as a deserving coach of gridders, even if he’s not so much in the limelight as his “enemy,” the umpire. Neale Is coaching Washington and Jefferson College, located near Pittsburgh, and as near as his 1921 schedule allowed, he did about as well as even old Uncle Charlie Moran himself. Asa crowning feature to the W. and J. grid year, the Neale team will meet California in the Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena New Year’s day. Indeed he did so well this year as a coach of college football—and he has done so well in the past—that, one admirer boosts him as a prospective manager of some big league baseball club. This admirer is Charles J. Doyle of the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, who spins the following half column boost for tho renowned Greasy: Speaking of great leaders, which nearly everybody seems to be doing these days, don't be surprised, fans. If you see Greasy Neale at the head of a major league club some day. Pittsburgh people who have watched Earl on the baseball lot over the past few summers may have underestimated the remarkable qualifications possessed by the young man. It is only natural to get the wrong perspective on Neale from casual study at a baseball game for the good reason that Neale’s value Is not reflected in batting figures and the like which very often give the public an entirely wrong view of athletes who are considered topnotehers but who, sometimes, are more of a hindrance than a help. Neale's fame Is the result of persistence. In an athletic way Nealo recalls these lines: “The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, For they while their companions slept Were tolling upward in the night.” The light-hearted West Virginian is blessed with resourceful traits that work wonders when they are linked up with the two sports mentioned. In baseball. Greasy Is one of those “bad men In a pinch.” Give him something big to accomplish and he rises up to the emergency. the football fans of western Pennsjlvanta saw him trick the Pittsburgh team. The Pitt players were playing to offset a possible drop kick which, if successful, would probably have won the game. They appeared to be so absorbed on keeping Wash-Jetl from scoring by a kick that they could not recover when Kopf darted hack out of the lino of scrimmage Just us the ball was passed to take that now historic fling. Greasy's strategy is seen In the play. Greasy's baseball experience tells him that he lias a fine chance to win if he can pull the unexpected. The surprise attack is the winning factor In almost any line of competitive endeavor from sellng dry goods to winning foot ball games. Neale hns an essential tribute—he can and does handle men correctly. If lingo Bezdek had played ball in the majors, only a short time he stood to be one of tlie biggest figures In this sport on account of his other qualifications. Bez is stid regarded by National League players as a good manager, but they knew that he would be immeasurably better with the-experience of actual play. Hugo j is a wonder among men and boys; they know he will tight for them and they Just naturally like him. Neale also is universally popular. He would often have a field argument with Pat Moran about the advisabtlity of a eertain play, bur Moran made capital out of these verbal quarrels often bv taking Neale's advice. In other words, he courted controversies with. Neale, as he was smart enough to accent the constructive theories that Greasy offered toward the ultimate goal. The one big thought with Neale is to win. He encouraged Eddie Roush into making a dangerous catch that helped to win the 1939 flag. Roush might have been hurt seriously in the effort, but Neale wanted him to get that bull regardelss of injuries. He would an<! has taken the same chance himself. Greasy I loves his boys and in return he wants all j they have. 3’es, Greasy’s successful leadership j makes him a tine candidate for a managerial Job in the majors. He would be the youngest In the two circuits. But perhaps he would spurn the offer.

The result was a springing bunch of grasshoppers continually fighting around the basket. Shortridge, it must be said to its credit, played a stubborn defensive game throughout and with a little luck on some shots would have made the game closer. As It was, Coach Gorton’s boys played the visitors practically even in the second half. With Elmore in the contest toward the end of the Recond half Shortridge seemed to Improve because of the added advantage or his height. Many of the victor’s scores came ns the result of superior height combined with the jumping game that carried them above the beads of the Short- ■ ridgers for passes around the basket. Appleman, tho red-haired guard of the local team was a whirlwind but did not quite have the reach of hts opponents. Kilgore worked better at back guard in the last half, although he fought no harder than “Rea.” Everybody on the Logansport team looked good. Petit, the classy visiting forward, found the loop for eight bnsekets. His running mate, Corriden, got four. lIARMESON, MANUAL LEADER. Harold Harmeson. a member of the Manual football, track and basket-ball squads, was elected captain of the net five at a meeting of the basket, men last night.

Alms or Charity ? Do you give “alms” or “charity?” The difference is that alms merely relieves a need temporarily, and charity not only relieves the immediate need but removes the cause of the distress. —for instance: A father deserted his family just before another baby arrived. There was destitution and suffering. From several charitable organizations came food, fuel, medical and nursing care. Then one society traced the delinquent father, caused his arrest for desertion, got the sentence suspended on condition that he vvould support his family. In the long run the family again became selfsupporting and happy. These organizations, working through the Community Chest, extended charity, not alms, and thereby put an end to the need for public relief. Bea Good Neighbor Subscribe to the Community Chest

CERTAIN CLUBS YELP OVER BIG PLAYER DEALS Cubs, Browns and Cards Are Loudest Talkers Against Frenzied Finance. AIM AT GOTHAM TEAMS NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Frenzied finance of the recent minor league meeting will do baseball no good, in the opinion of many of the prominent major leaguers. However, opinion being expressed here as the majors gather for next week's meetings is influenced a great deal by the size of the club's cash roll. The Browns, tho Cubs and the Cards are among the loudest protestants of tha prevailing tendency to beat the excess profits tax by gathering in players for large outlays of cash. Some of the other magnates, without becoming too loud about It, object to a situation which makes it Impossible to buy any player that the Giants or Y'ankees want for their roster. This discontent may make a big issue of the draft in the coming meetings and cause the subject to be brought by Commissioner Landis before the committee of minors in attendance. Jt was clear at the gathering of the minors in Buffalo that the little fellows do not want ! the draft. Trades are still being talked of, tha latest being a move by the Yanks to get Howard Ehmke and Bob Veach from tha Tigers. Cobb is said to be ready to swap if the Yanks will include Johnny Mitchell in the deal. Regarding the reported demand of Rogers Hornsby for a three-year contract for ?75,0C0, officials of the Cardinals said that they would not discuss salary with their batting star until he conferred with them. Johnny Evers, It was learned today, is almost sure to return to the Giants next season as a coach and Cozy Dolan wllk ! go back with Jack Hendricks in la* i dianapolis. The “wind sessions” will go back t® lobby duty next Monday when the International League holds its annual meeting. There may be some changes in tha circuit. There have been reports that efforts would be made to break up tha Baltimore club, but it Is doubtful if they would be successful. Gopher Athletic Board Urges Complete Change in Coaching Department MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 10,—Complete reorganization of the athletic department of the University of Minnesota was decided upon Friday by the board of athletic control. As Its part, the board decided to terminate the contracts of all coaches at the end of the current college year, or as they exjiire in the interim, and it recommended appointment of a director of athletics. This action, if approved by the university board of regents, will mark the passing of Dr. H. L. Williams as head football coach, a place he has held for twenty-two years. It would be possible to retain him under the proposed directorship system, however. In the past two years Minnesota has lost ten of her twelve Big-Ten Conference football games, in tne twenty-two years Williams has been at Minnesota, the Gophers have won 112, lost thirty and tied seven games, with strictly Conference games showing forty-seven won, twenty-five lost and five tied. In that period it has a good margin of wins over Its principal rivals, except Michigan, which has won five and tied one, as against one victory for Minnesota. According to the new athletic plan, the director will have complete charge of all sports and will be subject to order only from the president of the university. Many names are mentioned, but they are ail guesses. Indications are that Sig Harris or Johnny McGovern, both famous Minnesota stars of the past, will have charge of football here next fall until a new director is selected. Students, alumni, and faculty announced themselves as strongly in favor of the athletic board's move, and it is expected that the board of regents, tha final governing power, will accept tha present plans at their meeting next Tuesday.
