I ALKING It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Dec. 5. Gabby street who once caught a ball thrown from the top ol the Washington Monument with benefit of headlines, thinks that the present box score arrangement In' baseball should be amplified to include a department in which errors of omission are Included along with errors of commission. B B B An error of nmi**ion I* hat i known informally in thr du*out a* a bonrhrad or nonthinking plaT. The capably and reflnrd John J. McGraw of the Giant* commonly refer* to urh happenings a* well, perhaps It i* best not to mention in detail precisely what McGrow call* them. 808 In any event there is a sharp difference in technical characterization between a play which involves the loss of game through a ball that should have been caught and a base runner who attempts to steal a base at a time when said base is already duly tenanted by a comrade. b a b It is this differentiation between the mechanical and the mental which Street, Insists should be clarified in the statistical records of the pastime. Street recently has oeen made manager of the Louis Cardinals and in this capacity he is enjoying for the first time in a number of vears the privilege of gabbing for publication on subjects important and otherwise. g g Just how the gentleman’s suggestion will be accepted by the press bo* and the dav laborers of the diamond Is a matter „f sp. culallon. Os the former gentry there no doubt are a great number who mav feel that the addition of a eolumn In which all boneheaded plays must be recorded would entail a elertcal obligation of stupendous dimensions. As tor the athletes themselves. I am afraid there would be lively and violent resentment. since Street’s idea seems to imply the possible existence of faulty judgment, scrambled brains and a natural tendency to blundering. B B B STREET has been identified with the business for a long time and by now be certainly must know that no ball player ever committed what appeared to be the wrong play without being able to present, a perfect defense, no matter how imperfect it may have seemed to other observers. B B tt To be sure, the background of the game is not wholly larking in conspicuous examples of mental density. You still hear how Merkle failed to touch second In that game with the Cubs which cost the Giants a championship, and something akin to a legend of shame has been woven around the heedless dash of one John Anderson who tried to steal third with the bases full. B B B As matters stand now the most interesting part of the box score is the base hit column. Whether It. would be more Interesting to note that Arthur (Ginger Ale) Shires made three homers or three boners is a matter that time would have to work out. NATURALLY it would be necessary at the end of each season to devise fitting recognition for cerebral excellence. Possibly this would take the form of a diploma and the recipient would be entitled to be known as baseball's best brain. b a b It is of course an elemental fact that there is a wide difference between what t* loosely railed native Intelligence and book learning. George Herman Ruth, for example, never went to college and to him * bachelor or arts is an unmarried man who goes In heavy for g.audv posters. And vet. Ruth is one of baseball's best minds. I think it was Thomas Connolly, the umpire, who paid him the tribute of saying that he had never seen him make the wrong play In a ball game since he Joined the big leagues. B B B On the other hand your attention Is failed to the fact that Moe Berg, the White Sox catcher, is the best educated baseball player In either big league. Among other things. Berg can speak seven languages including of course the Scandinavian. Yet the difference between Berg's salary and Ruth’s is very marked.

Purdue Hardwood Prospects Bright With Three Veterans Coach Lambert Seeks Running Mates for Murphy, Harmeson and Boots: Grid Stars Candidates.

ference titles in the past ten years, seem headed for another season in which they will be dangerous first division contenders, for Stretch Murphy, Glen Harmeson and Herman Boots, three of the mainstays of last season's runnerup five, are ready for their fhird year of competition. Murphy, selected

Last season, the Marion youth broke the Big Ten individual scoring record with a total of 143 points in twelve conference games. Harmeson. stylist forward Os the squad, has earned the reputation of being the best floor worker in the conference. Boots, the third regular that Lambert is depending on as a cog in one of his perennial title contending machines, has developed rapidly as a backboard defender, and at the end of last season was recognized as one of the most capable back guards in tl circuit. Lambert’s main task in early drills has been uncovering sophomores and reserves, who will be

Allen to Manage Jersey City Bu Tnitcd Prrxx CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 5 Nick Allen, who piloted Tulsa to the Western League pennant last season, was signed today to manage the Jeray City club of the International League. Allen managed the St. Paul Ainericaji Association club for several years, and previous to that played in the major leagues as a member of the Chicago Cubs. White Sox and Cincinnati Reds. His contract at Jersey City is for one year.

Two major league clubs, the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs, have purchased high-priced minor league stars here. Cleveland completed a deal today for Bob Seeds, 22-year-old outfielder, buying him from the Kansas City American Association club for a large sum and one player who must be satisfactory to Kansas City. Right-Hander Needed Billy Evans, Cleveland business manager, feels that inasmuch as Seeds is a right-handed hitter and seven of the eight Cleveland outfielders are left-handed hitters, the young outfielder will plug a weak gap in the club. “At any rate, the other clubs won’t be so sure they can southpaw us to death if Seeds makes good,” said Evans. Cleveland is anxious to land a shortstop, and Evans said he would try to make a deal for a first-class infielder. It is said he made a bid for Rabbit Warstler of Indianapolis. The Chicago Cubs paid a fangy price for Malcolm Moss, young southpaw pitcher. They gave a sum said to be $35,000 and one played for Moss, who won less than he lost for the Louisville American Association club last season. However, A. A. men here seem to think Moss will make good in the majors. Penner Mentioned Manager Joe McCarthy believes Moss may be the southpaw the Cubs have been looking for for several years. Pitcher Ken Pener may be the player sent to Louisville in the deal, if he can be worked out of the majors. The Cubs obtained Penner from Indianapolis the past summer. Dan Howley, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, is one major league pilot ready to entertain any kind of an offer for players. Wednesday he sent Outfielder Bill Zitzmann to the Newark Internationals in exchange for Shortstop Westcott Kingdon, who in turn was shipped to the Reds’ farm at Columbus. Outfielder Pid Purdy of the Reds was turned over to the Buffalo team. Hens Sell Two Three Southern Association clubs were involved in player purchases today. Birmingham bought shortstop Eddie Taylor from Toledo; Atlanta acquired outfielder Eddie Brown from the same club, and Nashville purchased pitcher Harry Bennett from Independence, Kan., of the Western Association. Bill McKechnie. who has moved from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Boston Braves, told the United Press that he would trade any player on his team, including George Sisler, Lance Richbourg, Freddy Maguire or any of the others, if he could get what he wanted in return. “All I can say about our team now is that we’ll have nine men out there when the season opens,” said McKechnie. “I don’t know who they'll be, but we’ll have a fighting nine.” VOGLER CUE VICTOR Lewis Vogler, with high runs of seven and five, ran up a 50 to 22 victory over Louis Spivey, Wednesday in fifty-eight innings, setting a new time record for the state threecushion billiard tourney at Cooler's parlcr.

Waivers Asked on Matty

t .: .. t Wid Matthews PM Times Special (CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 5. J* —‘According to information gathered around the edges of the big minor league convention here, Indianapolis has asked for waivers on Wid Matthews, the flashy cen-ter-fielder of sensational play fame. It seems the Indians have decided Matty has lost his skill at the plate and intend to send him to another league by sale or trade. Matty is a wonder on defense, but his batting mark the past season was about .286, and he drove in only about thirty-four runs.

Shotton Predicts Big Things for Phillies in Next Race

‘We’re as Good as Anybody,’ Burt Says at Chattanooga: Notes and Gossip From Convention.

By United Press CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 5. Manager Burt Shotton of the Phillies, attending the big minor league convention here, is seeking a catcher to replace Bill Lerian, who died as a result of injuries received in an automobile accident several months ago. “I’ve got as good a club as anybody in the National League and We’ll be up there fighting for the pennant this year,” said Shotton. Gabby Street, new manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, believes that the acquisition of Sparky Adams bought from Pittsburgh, will materially strengthen the Cardinals’ infield considerably. He plans to play Bottomley at first, Adams at second, Gelbert at short and Frisch at third. * The Cardinals are one of the many big league clubs on the lookout for additional pitching strength. Stories that Burleigh Grimes is in bad with the Pittsburgh management, and will be placed on the trading block, are erroneous, according to Manager Ens, who said he expected Burleigh to be one of his mainstays. “We are pretty well fixed and could open the season on a few weeks’ notice,” he said. Ov nie Bush, new manager of the Chicago White Sox, believes that two. minor league players, outfielder Smead Jolley, from San Francisco and pitcher Vic Frazier from Dallas will add strength to the White Sox. Bush said he didn’t have any deals in the fire, but expected to sound out several clubs in New York next week. Vice-President L. C. McEvoy, of the St. Louis Browns, said his club was open for a deal. “We are clearine the decks here and expect to iret some real action In New York next week,’ ’he said. Bill Killifer, new manager of the Browns, Is here. The New York Yankees are here In full force, with Colonel Jacoo Ruppert, Secretary Ed Barrow. Manager Bob Shawkey and a couple of scouts on deck, and may be preparing for a big trade.

Big Ten Has No Power to Suspend lowa Board Can Only Blacklist Hawks, Griffith Says, Before Session. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. s.—Officials of the Western Conference began gathering here today for their annual meeting, at which, among other things, they will decide whether they are to continue athletic relations with the University of lowa. The faculty committee of the conference, generally known as the Big Ten, announced last May that on Jan. 1, 1930, lowa would be suspended from the group. Wednesday Major John L. Griffith, conference commissioner, sprang a mild surprise by announcing that the committee did not have power to suspend a member, but merely could blacklist the lowans and order the other nine schools to cancel all athletic contests with them. The lowa officials. Edward Lauer, athletic director; C. C. Williams, chairman of the athletic council, and Bert Ingwersen, football coach, will arrive tonight and early Friday, prepared to make a formal plea for reinstatement, basing their plea upon the claim that they “have cleaned house.” In .their latest move for reinstatement, coming just seventy-two hours before the conference is expected to rule on lowa’s standing, the Hawkeyes ruled ineligible Virgil David, basketball captain, for alleged scholastic deficiency. TURNERS FACE TESTS Meet State Champs, Rail Title Holders and Noblitt Sparks. South Side Turners have turned in impressive victories in their first two contests, and already show signs of a championship combination.
