Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—There was nothing the National League magnuts did Monday, the first da.’ of their annual meeting, that ap proached in importance vhat they did not do. Not that there was any-

thing unique or extraordinary about that, for when magnutr, meet mountains labor and moles come forth. But it had been promisee! that the mag - nuts would trv to do something about the Brooklyn situation and since this happens to represent the ultimate in situations there was an air of

expectancy and speculation about the cloistered corridors of the Wal dorf-Astoria where the great men gathered. Perhaps some sort of background of the Brooklyn situation should be. attempted. To arrive at the main point hurriedly, it is a fight between two controlling interests, each own • ing exactly 50 per cent of the properties, to kill one another off, ana as is usually the case in these bitter antagonisms, neither side seems tc give a good whoop in State street what happens to the ball club, which is worth only a trifling $3,000,000. tt tt tt Never in the long and comical history of the great national pastime has there been such a situation as this, where two appar-. ently normal-minded business groups openly invite commercial ruin in order to gratify a personal prejudice. tt tt n WALF OF THE BALL CLUB BELONGS TO JUDGE STEVEN W. McKEEVER. A VENERABLE OLD IRISHMAN. WHO CAME INTO HIS WEALTH BY RUNNING FISH BOATS OUT TO SEA, DOING ODD JOBS OF CONSTRUCTION. AND UNDERBIDDING LESS DESERVING TAMMANY HALL DEMOCRATS FOR THE EXQUISITE PLEASURE OF DISPOSING OF THE BOROUGH'S GARBAGE ON AN EFFICIENT AND SALUBRIOUS BASIS. tt tt tt THE other half belongs to the surviving members of the late Charles Ebbets and is actively represented in league and club meetings by Joseph GilJoandeau, whose official capacity in connection with the baseball outfit is that of secretary. tt tt tt THESE ARE THE TWO WARRING FACTIONS. IN BETWEEN LOOMS A LARGE. ELDERLY. JOVIAL PERSON, WILBERT ROBINSON, WHO SERVES IN Tt."?: DOUBLE CAPACITY OF MANAGER AND PRESIDENT, AND WHO OCCUPIES IN THE PRESENT CONTROVERSY THE UNHAPPY POSITION OF WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL THE BONE OF CONTENTION. THOUGH TO VIEW WILBERT FROM AN ANGLE OR, MORE APTLY, PROTUBERANCE. IT WOULD SEEM A LOOSE STATEMENT TO ASSOCIATE HIS BLUBBERY EXTERIOR WITH THE WORD BONE IN ANY MANNER. tt tt tt To the old judge, Robinson is about as welcome as any mention of Tnnney in the inner family chit chats of the Dempseys. And this is a strange perversion of hnman devotion because it was not so many years back that the judge thought Wilbert was, next to Jiggs and John L. Sullivan, the greatest guy on earth. n tt tt BUT that was a long time ago, and a great number of mud scows have steamed under the bridge since then. Today the Ebbets crowd demand that Robbie be kept, and with them the demand amounts to a bristling defi. To the judge they say, “If you don’t like this bird try and do something about it.” n tt tt There appears very little the old judge can do about it, and what he has tried to do so far has been so fraught with obstinacy and flaming anger that the only result has been to make a lamentable situation ludicrous. n tt n Meantime one of the richest franchises in the Nat'onal League continues to be a football, the fate of which is to be booted about with much venom and viciousness by two groups of gentlemen who laughingly refer to themselves as big business men.

Good Speed Accomplished in 1928 by Hustling Action on Field. LEGION GETS BACKING Boys’ Tourney Again Approved; Detroit Gets Uhle. BY DIXON STEWART, United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—With every manager in the league willing to trade straw hats for overcoats but none willing to 'consider swaps on an even basis, the second day of the annual American League conclave gave promise of little excitement. The only business scheduled today was a meeting of club owners, at which the draft proposal of the minor leagues was to be considered. The National League already has refused an invitation from the minors io meet at West Baden, Ind., for consideration of the project, and it is doubtful that the junior loop will take definite action. Except for the Detroit-Cleveland trade in which the Indians got Ken Holloway, pitcher, and Johnny Tavener, infielder, for George Uhle veteran pitcher. Tuesday’s gathering furnished little news. $25,000 to Legion At the afternoon meeting Tuesday the league transacted routine business, including the donation of $25,000 for promotion of the American Legion’s junior baseball tourament and $5,000 to the Association of Professional Baseball Players for maintenance of a home for aged players. The selective draft was discussed, but final action was deferred until today. President E. S. Barnard reported the success of a movement to eliminate unnecessary delay in the playing of American League games, statistics showing that every club, except St. Louis, had reduced its average playing time per game from that of 1927. Washington led with an average reduction of seven minutes per game. Chicago showed the second largest reduction —six minutes—and tied the senators for the best average time of 1:51, while Philadelphia and St. Louis had averages of 1:52 with Boston and Cleveland one minute behind and Detroit and St. Louis tying for last place at 2:04 per game. Rommeil in Lead Statistics showed Eddie Rommeil, Philadelphia, to be the league’s speediest boxman for the 1928 season, the average playing time of games in which the Athletic star pitched being only 1:29. All of the clubs were in the market for players Tuesday, but none were willing to give up the men desired. Both Chicago and Philadelphia were anxious to secure Uhle from Cleveland, but Manager Peckinpaugh finally did business with his former manager and playing partner, Bucky Harris. In securing Tavener, Peckinpaugh completed his infield for 1929. Peck intends to use Tavener at shortstop with Lind on second, Hodapp at first base and Joe Sewell covering third. NEUN GOES TO TOLEDO Hens Make Important Purchase From Detroit Tigers. By Times Special TOLEDO, Dec. 12.—Johnny Neun, first baseman, has been purchased from Detroit by the local club of the American Association, it was announced Tuesday night.

Jess Petty Back With Owen Bush Dodgers Give Veteran Lefty and Riconda for Wright; Statz Sold. By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—Two rational League players who had trouble last season will wear new uniforms next year as a result of the trade which sent Glenn Wright, shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, to the Brooklyn Dodgers for Jess Petty, left-handed pitcher, and Harry Riconda, utility infielder. The deal was completed Tuesday night between Owen Bush, manager of the Pirates, and Wilbert Robinson, manager of Brooklyn. Wright, who was rated the best shortstop in the National League in 1924 and 1925, failed to play his best at Pittsburgh last season and was in bad with the management. Wright’s play slumped toward the end of the season and he was benched in favor of Dick Bartell and Sparky Adams. Wright, however. finished with a batting average of .310. He is only 26, and has played but five season of major league baseball, all with the Pirates. The Kansas City club sold him to the Pirates in 1924. Petty was fined and suspended by “Uncle Robbie” at one time last season for breaking the training rules. He won sixteen games and lost fourteen in 1928. He came to Brooklyn in 1925 from Indianapolis for cash and Dutch Henry, pitcher now with the Giants. Petty has a reputation of losing more close games than any pitcher in the league. Ownie Bush, present Pirate boss, was Indianapolis manager when Petty won twenty-nine games for the Hoosiers. The Dodgers also sold Jigger Statz, outfielder, to Los Angeles, and gave Joe Harris, veteran first baseman and outfielder, his unconditional release. The Phillies released Jimmy Ring, veteran pitcher, to Los Angeles, but Ring said it was too far away from home and that he would not report to the Angels.

400,000 Short Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Attendance in the National League dropped off to 5,000,000 last season, a decrease of 400.000 from 1927, which was the league’s banner year. Presdent Heydler attributed the decrease to bad weather early in the season when eightythree games were postponed, 60 per cent of them in Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where Sunday baseball was barred. For the third straight year the Cubs played to the largest aggregate attendance at home and the Giants to the largest attendance on the road. The Giants grossed the largest total attendance.

Hackley and Allen to Top Legion Card Tracy Cox Beats Chicagoan —Norman Brown Stops Tut Seymour. Paul Allen, Chicago, will meet Jimmy Hackley, Indianapolis junior lightweight, in the feature event of next Tuesday night’s legion ring bill at the Armory. Both have fought here several times. Tracy Cox. the hard swatting Indianapolis 120-pounder, won the edge over Bobby Allen, Chicago, in the ten-round main event of last night’s fistic entertainment, the two little fellows going full blast to top off a great card in fine style. Tracy’s edge over the tough little Chicagoan was not very great, but it was clean-cut. In the sixth round Allen came out of a brief setto in the ropes in bad shape and cleverly kept away from Cox until his head cleared. Norman Brown, the hard-hitting Chicago welter, stopped Tut Seymour of New Orleans in the third round of the first half of the twin windup. Brown kept poking Seymour on the chin with stiff lefts and finally hooked one in to send the southerner to the canvas for the full count. Royal Cox, Indianapolis, had a good margin of victory over Windy Myers of Cincinnati in the top six. It was a good bout. Harry Memering, Lafayette, kayoed Eddie Dick, Indianapolis, in the third round of the first six. Dick was hopelessly outclassed and Referee Webber did the right thing in stopping the encounter. Young Nanci had the edge on Jack Coogan in the four-round opener. Coogan subbed for Eddie Roberts, who was much too heavy for Nanci.
