After Meusel Bu United Press JEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Negotiations were opened u.■ ■ today by the Boston Braves for the transfer of “Irish” Meusel, left fielder for the New York Giants. Several offers from other clubs for Meusel were turned down since the close of the season.

Bingham was found defincient in his studies. That would have been an honorable, even an admirable condition, in the era of the heavily - armored athlete, who/in frequent cases, spelled psychology with an “S,” physics with an “f” and drew his salary twice a month from the athletic director. But the reason for Bingham’s deficiency is said to be a most shameful one. Bingham according to undergraduate gossip, has been spending too much time playing bridge and this is a vice which in the code of the old heroes would have been regarded as lower than bean-bag, spin the plate or parches!. The old-timers played cards, it is true, but it was stud or draw with them or maybe blackjack or red dog and never bridge, the ladles' game. Both Bingham and Stanley Gill, ends on the team and the star holdovers for. 1925, had trouble wlt£ their mid year examinations, and Bingham’s standing was such that he was dropped from the university today. Therefore, he was forced to resign the football captaincy. He was reported to have failed In four subjects and Gill in three. Gill Is named as having been guilty of playing bridge with Bingham.
