WHAT do you think of the deal whereby the Chicago Cubs acquired Hornsby? Since the champion batsman of the National League was sent from the Boston Braves to the Chicago Cubs, in one of the biggest trades of recent years, that question has been put to me by hundreds of baseball fans. 000 “I wish he was coming to Cleveland instead of Chicago,” has been my immediate reply. o#o H<" V/EVER. THAT ANSWER HAS NEVER QUJ.TE SATISFIED. WHILE IT CONVEYED TO THEM MY OPINION. THAT ANY MAJOR LEAGUE CLUB WOULD MORE THAN WELCOME A PLAYER OF THE CAIIBER OF HORNSBY, IT DIDN’T QUITE ANSWER THE POINT AT WHICH MOST OF THE FANS WERE DRIVING. AS TO HOW HORNSBY WOULD FIT INTO THE CUB LINEUP. 0 0 0 BECAUSE Hornsby, within as many years, has been a member of four different major league clubs, there seems to be the impression in the minds of many fans that he must be a bad actor, hard to handle. I know Rogers Hornsby pretty well and it is my belief that never was there a more erroneous estimate of a player’s character or temperament. 000 I have always found Hornsby a gentleman on and off the ball field. In the heat of battle he is satisfied only with victory, one of the few remaining fighters, who figures no game a good game unless it ends In victory. The fighter, the player with strong convictions, always makes enemies. 00 THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO WONDER HOW HORNSBY WILL FIT INTO THE WAYS OF MANAGER M’CARTHY OF THE CHICAGO CUBS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE SOME FANS WHO FEAR THE TWO WILL CLASH AS TO AUTHORITY. I DOUBT IF ANYTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME AT ALL IF THE PUNCH ADDED BY HORNSBY MADE THE CUBS A MOST DANGEROUS CONTENDER. 0 0 0 INSTEAD of Hornsby clashing with Manager Joe McCarthy, I look for the two to work together perfectly. There is no question as to' the ability of McCarthy as a leader of players. He has demonstrated his ability in the majors and the minors. Teams managed by Joe McCarthy are always interestin?, because they are in there fighting, and usually in the thick of the pennant struggle. 000 I feel that Hornsby will relish p’aying under so capable and aggressive a leader and do his utmost to add further laurels to the many now held by Joe McCarthy. 00’ 0 • I REGARD THE DEAL THE CUBS MADE FOR HORNSBY A REAL TEN-STRIKE. TAKE IT FROM ME. I COULD IMAGINE NOTHING MORE PLEASING THAN TO BE ABLE TO ADD A ROGERS HORNSBY TO THE ROSTER OF THE CLEVELAND CLUB. Boston Nines in Spring Battles B.y United Press BOSTON, Dec. 7.—An item of interest to Boston baseball fans is that the Braves and Red Sox will meet for the first time in many years in exhibition games on the Saturday and Sunday before the opening of the 1929 major league season. They will play in Boston, where Sunday baseball now is possible for the first time.

Class A A Leagues Offer Plan to Get Majors Out of Minors

Dud Branom Going Back to Colonels Detroit Helps Louisville Club; Toronto Sticks to Swetonic Sale. By Times Special TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. 7. The Louisville Colonels are going to have Dudley Branom, star first baseman, back with them next season, it was announced at the baseball convention here today. Branom was drafted by Detroit, but the Tigers told the Colonel bosses he would be returned. Louisville also announced a star third baseman would be obtained to round out a great infield with Branom, Sicking and Olivares. Two outfielders also are being sought. Meyer With Millers Mike Kelley, Minneapolis pilot, signed Biyy Myer, former Louisville manager and catcher, and Meyer will help the Millers behind the bat as well as act as coach and assistant manager. St. Paul offered to sell Outfielder Bruno Haas to Louisville, but the Colonels passed him up and the veteran is now on the market, according to President Connery of the Saints. Hargrave as Manager It is said the Saints will obtain Catcher Bubbles Hargrave from the Cincinnati club and appoint him manager to succeed Nick Allen, who was released some time ago. Allen is dickering vith Nashville and Syracuse. It is said Pitcher Paul Zahniser or Pitcher Walter Betts will go to Cincinnati in the Hargrave deal. Hargrave was a star with St. Paul eight years ago and is very popular in the Apostle city. The honor of making the biggest deals of the minor league convention goes to Indianapolis and Toronto. The Leafs sold Alexander and Prudhomme to Detroit for players and a large sum of cash and Indianapolis sold Pitcher Swetonic to Pittsburgh in a similar transaction. It is said the Hoosiers will get the biggest part of a ball club for their ace hurler. The sum of money involved was not announced and President Perry even denied the deal had been closed, but other baseball men here said there was no question about it. It is true, however, that Ownie Bush doesn’t know if he can get waivers on all the players demanded by Indianapolis. The fact that Detroit got Dale Alexander from Toronto led the Tigers to inform the Colonels Branom would be returned. Alex is a good first sacker and a terrific hitter. Emil Yde. stalwart southpaw with Indianapolis. is wanted by the Chicago Cubs and another club, unnamed, but probably Cincinnati. The Reds missed out in their efforts to draft Yde. At one time the past season the Cubs were hot after Emil and> it is believed the subject has been reopened. The Indianapolis contingent left Toronto, Perry. Thursday night and the others today. Tha Tribe president went to Chicago and Manager Betzel to his home at Celina, O. Secretary Clauer, Coach Corriden and Harold Irelr.n, Quincy business manager, departed for Indianapolis. Walter Holko, new Quincy pilot, left for St. Louis. Outfielder Koenecke, of the Indians, will be transferred to Quincy for further seasoning, it was reported. He was purchased from Moline late the past season and finished out the race with the Tribe. . By ® vote of 15 to 8, Chattanooga won the 1929 big minor convention over West Baden. Ind. The Lookout city has been after the pow-wow for several years. West Baden probably will land the convention in 1930. Kansas City sold Outfielder Frank Wilson to the Milwaukee Brewers at the waiver price. Manager Betzel of the Indians announced Shortstop Warstler would not be sold or traded. All the Tribe bosses desire to keep the lad around another season. Barney (Mike) Kelly of Indianapolis, who has managed Spartanburg several years, may get the pilot bert at Mobile in the Southern Association, Class A. Mike is negotiating with Spartanburg for his release. Guy Sturdy, with St. Louis Browns and Milwaukee the past season, has been sold to Birmingham. Buffalo Sold Maurice Archdeacon, speedy outfielder, to Atlanta. “Arch” once was the fastest man in baseball. flabby Street, former battery mate of Walter Johnson, has signed with the St. Louis Cards and will be given a Job managing one of the Card farms. circuit HEAD VISITS Devereux in Thomasville to Watch Pastime Stable Train.

Association and Mates Have New Proposition for Big Circuits. DRAFT TOPIC DELAYED Baseball Convention Winds Up at Toronto. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. 7.—A proposal that all major league clubs sell their minor league franchises within three years—one of the most radical suggestions yet offered to organized baseball—may be made by representatives of class AA circuits at a meeting at West Baden, Ind., Jan. 15, the United Press learned today. In return for. this concession the largest minor leagues now exempt from the draft would grant the majors the "right to selection” on a universal basis. This is the newest impending development of the seemingly endless dispute over the draft, the principal bone of contention in baseball. It arises from the fact that the class AA league and some of the minor circuits feel that the domination of the majors through their ownership of “farm” franchises is even more a handicap to the minor leagues than some acceptable form of the universal draft. Toole’s More Effective Through the efforts of John Conway Toole, president of the International League, the larger minor leagues effectively blocked any discussion of the draft at the annual meeting of the national association, which closed here today. President Toole succeeded in persuading the smaller minor leagues to postpone action upon proposed amendments to the major-minor agreement pertaining to the "right to selection” until a committee from the International and Pacific Coast leagues and the American Association had had an opportunity to take up the matter once more with the major leagues. The three large Class AA circuits are appointing committees to meet at West Baden, Jan. 15, and confer with representatives of the majors and with other minor league men most interested in the draft problem. Wants Majors Out Instead, however, of throwing further obstacles in the way of the universal draft as applicable to all minor leagues, the Class AA magnates, the United Press learns, are prepared to offer a radical compromise solution. They are prepared to grant the majors the right to select players from the leagues at present exempt, if the majors will | agree to sell their franchises and get out of minor league baseball. An announcement that the New York Yankees had purchased franchises at Syracuse and Chambersburg, 'and might even buy in at Nashville and San Antonio, precipitated the decision of the larger minor leagues to open a fight against such control. The argument advanced by the Class AA owners on behalf of all smaller leagues is that when a major league club owns a franchise in a minor league, the circuit becomes unbalanced. Clubs owned locally are unable to compete with those in the same league controlled by major league money for the latter have every advantage in the way of obtaining players, and invariably win the pennants. Meanwhile, at Toronto, the only remaining problem before the national association is that concerning the suggestion of the advisory council of baseball that major league clubs be permitted to purchase minor league franchises upon payment of a fee of $75,000 plus a “fair price” for the property. This proposition naturally conflicts directly with the new one of the Class AA clubs of which the United Press has just been informed. -MUST BE PRETTY G<!>OD Bur Sprague, 1928 Army captain, is fast enough to run the hundred in ten seconds and strong enough to put the shot on the track team and box on the Cadet boxing team.

Famed Pennsy Quintet Looking for Center to Complete Roster Last Year’s Eastern Intercollegiate League Champs to Invade Indiana Camp Dec. 13.

By Times Speeial PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.—ls Eddie McNichol, head coach of the University of Pennsylvania basketnail team, can discover a center among his many candidates, he will have a team that should be the favorite for the Eastern Intercollegiate . League championship. The Quakers play Indiana at Bloomington Dec. 13. . Last year McNichol molded a quintet that surprised the intercollegiate world by winning the championship. Monty Chapman, the elongated center of last year’s combination, has graduated ang in his place McNichol has been trying three youngsters who show considerable promise, but as yet have not developed the finesse necessary for the ideal tap-off man \ Gilfillan May Get Job Jim Peterson, who played center and guard on the freshman team of last season, has been alternating on the first team with John Bonniwell, who saw action in several games as a substitute last season. Another entrant in the race for the center post is Robert Jilfillan, who last season was pivot man on the junior varsity quintet. Gilfillan with game experience may solve McNichol’s dilemma. At the other positions Pennsylvania is fortified better than in some years. In A1 Brodbeck, who two years ago was a star on the freshman team, McNichol has a find. His work in practice gives hope that he will prove a high scorer from the floor. He is fast, agile and has one of the best basket eyes in the squad. Paired with Brodb’ck at forward will be the veteran Ed Lobley. Guards Keep Berths The guards, Schaaf and Lazar, are fixtures. Both were stkrs last season. The coaches have other players who from time to time are certain to break into the lineup. Joe Hartnett, until illness laid him low last season, was a regular forward. He is back again in excellent shape and making a determined bid for the first team position. Don Noble, whose last minute goal in the playoff game with Princeton

Aggressive Lads Mix Tuesday in Legion Features For next Tuesday night's legion boxing show, four fighters have been engaged to perform in a doublewindup of two ten-round matches, and when Major Greene announced from the Armory ring Tuesday night that Tracy Cox and Bobby Allen would meet in one of the features, with Tut Seymour of New Orleans clashing with Norman Brown of Chicago, in the other, there was a good response from the customers. Allen and Cox met two weeks ago in a fast eight-rounder, which Coxie took by a slight margin. Early in this contest Allen had one of his glims closed, but despite this break, made a real fight of it. Norman Brown crashed into the favor of the Armory crowd recently when he knocked out Cecil Hurt in three rounds.
