Little Trade Talk Heard as National League Magnates Hold Spring Meeting

Ratify 1924 Schedule and Transact Business —Reds and Braves Launch Feelers for Bill Terry. By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Shortage of trade talk at the spring baseball market when the club owners gathered here today, indicated the eight National League teams are now lined up as they will start the season. As the magnates gathered to ratify the 1924 schedule and transact routine business, there wasn’t much conversation about deals. John McGraw, boss of the champion Giants, who has money, players and a habitual hobby of trading, was not on the scene.

The owners of the St. Louis Cardinals assumed a bored air when the name of Rogers Hornsby was mentioned. They had a stock answer of '"nothing doing” as a reply to ali talk of trading the champion batsman of the league. The Case of Hollocher The Chicago Cub bosses, said Charlie Hollocher would play with the Cubs or he would remain in retirement and that he would not be handed a lump of cash for salary earned while he was nursing aches for half of the 1323 season. Cincinnati and Boston admitted they would like to get Bill Terry, the hard hitting first baseman who on the Giant farm at Toledo mist year. Dave Bancroft, new manager of the Boston Braves, said be might be induced to part with young Tom McNamara, but that he would laugh off any attempts made to pry Joe Genewich or Cooney off his roster. Card-Brave Deal Off The long discussed St. Louis-Boston deal for one of the Brave catchers was said to have foundered when it was learned that Jeff Pfeffer could not be delivered to Boston. It ia understood he is going to quit the national pastime. The club owners may pass a resolution knocking bonus clauses out of contracts and the suggestion of the St. Louis club that the league provide some kind of a prize for the player voted to be most valuable on each club may be adopted.

GOLF SERIES NO. 0 Miss Collet Lacks Militant Mood By JOE WILLIAMS XEA Service Staff Writer

G - LENNA COLLETT does not fall many shades short of i- being the first woman golfer ever developed in Amertea, not excepting Alexa Stirling, three times winner of the national,

or Edith Cummings, present champion. The Providence maiden has one weakness, an u n and e r • and e veloped comb at i v eness. She doesn’t stick her jaw out and cry "let me at ’em,” as does Miss Cummings, for example. Glenna Is indined, in her play, to be sociable rather than savage. This is probably why she Is often beaten unexpectedly by inferior players. Twice Glenna was beaten by Mrs. Caleb

Fox, aged Philadelphia grandmother, in Florida tournaments. Mrs. Fox is a splendid golfer, but no Collett. Glenna lost not / through inferior play so much as repressed aggression. If that phrase explains the mood. This year, however, the Rhode Island girl seems to bo in a more militant stride. She started the season by winning an Important tournament in the South, defeating among others her persistent nemesis, Mrs. Fox, and clicking off two rounds In 75, brilliant golf for anybody. Glenna Is perhaps the most gifted brassie player among the •women. Bhe wields this club

DEMPSEY TRIES TO AID HERMAN; RAID FOLLOWS Jack in Cabaret When Dry Squad Performs and Finds Wet Stuff in Blind Boy’s Kitchen, By United Nesrs NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12.—Little Pete Herman, once a champion, but now a has-been and blind as well, is being clouted in the dark by an unkind fate. Pete’s cabaret was raided while Jack Dempsey was present for the generous purpose of giving the place a bit of a boost with the fight crowd, and charges are to follow which may cost Herman his grub-stake.

The raiders said they found liquor in the kitchen. Perhaps they did, but the sport crowd attending the winter races and patronizing such fights as j the promoters put on in New Orleans, j thought the raiders might have raided some other place them Pete Herman's. Other Places Passed Up There are said to be plenty of other speakeasies in New Orleans, whose owners aren’t blind and haven’t the brave record of the former bantam champ. | Some of the customers at Pete’s tables when the raiders dashed In had been at the ringside in Madison Square Garden that night a few seasons back when Herman lost his title to Johnny Buff. Pete had one blind eye at the time, but he didn't let many people know It, because his opponents would be sure to hammer his one good eye and put it out of commission. Whether or not Buff knew Pete’s secret, he did start potting at Herman's good eye and soon had it swollen shut, after which he whacked and pounded a game little champion who could only hold up his hands, make 1 instinctive gestures in the dark, and pretend that everything was all right. Again Hurt by Smith After that Herman fought Midget Smith, who followed the same plan and banged Pete on the good eye so persistently that the light in it went out for good. Pete returned to New Orleans and hung up his gloves. Pete started “The Ringside” cafcaret some time ago. so he could be back among 'em again and earn a living without having to spend his savings. The very name of the place was to be an appeal to the sport crowd who would know him and recognize him for the great man he had been, in climbing to the very top of his chosen game. But now little Pete Herman has been struck once more^ Hahn and Palmer Win By Times Special HUNTINGTON.

FERRARIS SHADES BLOOM IN CRACK BOUTOF EVENING Columbus Lad Gives Soldier Hard Fight, However— Main Go Is Tame, Fighting Ferraris, who realty deserves that first handle to his name, and Louie Bloom, a clever, cool little fellow from Columbus, Ohio, gave the fans the best bout at the Tomlinson Hall boxing show Monday night. The main go did not have a great deal of class. Hugh Ross of Louisville was a big. awkward fellow, all arms and legs, who never once swung those long mitts with any force. He was content to jab and then fall into a clinch. Gill Smacks Colonel His opponent, Johnny Gill of York, Pa., a veteran at the game, was far too wise for Hugh, and although the stocky Gill was far outreached by

the lanky Southerner, he smacked the “colonel” all around the ring. However, Gill did not do any great amount of damage except in the fifth round when he sent Ross to the canvas just six seconds before the bell rang. Ross was getting up as the round ended and so had a chance to sit down and think it o\sr for a minute. He wasn’t hurt muefy. Gill easily won all the way. Ferraris deserved the shade in his eight-round bout with Bloom, but It was only a shade earned by his usual aggressive tactics and windmill swings. Bloom appeared slightly outweighed. but put up a fine defensive battle against the rushing methods of tiie tough soldier battler. Jab Bothers Ferraris Bloom continually jabbed Ferraris with a left as the Ft. Thomas battler rushed in. The Buckeye lad was cool throughout and the crowd gave him the biggest himd of the evening as he left, the ring. In the semi-wind-up Willie Sullivan of Cincinnati outpointed Happy Atherton of Indianapolis. The local boy danced around a lot, but could not make much impression upon the rugged little scrapper from Cincy. Eddie Reynolds of Louisville outslugged Kid McCoy of Cincy in a sixround prelim. At times both of the boys were all in and put on the slow motion picture stuff. In the first four-round affair Kid Rozelle of this city was stronger at the end than Jack Harding, also of Indianapolis. It was another slugging match.
