FOUR more graduates of the Cleveland sandlots will receive trials in the majors next year. They are Joe Kuhel, first sac’xer with Washington, up from Kansas City. Joe Vosnik, outfielder with Cleveland, up from Terre Haute; Frank j Doljack, outfielder with Detroit, up from Wheeling; Frank Leslie, catcher with the Athletics, up from Little Rock. George Uhle, Detroit veteran hurler, and Bill Sweeney, first baseman with the Red So::, are other well-knowns who learned their baseball on Forest City playgrounds. a a a Billy Evans, Cleveland business manager, says he offered 510,000 for Muddy Ruel before Washington passed the catcher to the Red Sox. ! It is presumed Clark Griffith did not care to help strengthen the Indians. 1 Evans is building up a squad of youthful pastimers and is out with the prediction his boys will win the flag in two years. a an Manager corriden of the, local A.' A. entry has twenty- 1 nine players on the roster, but it’s a good guess a few of the diamond tosscrs will be cut loose before i spring training. Several failed to i make the grade in previous trials, but are back under the Tribe’s ‘urisdiction. Here is the complete list filed away in Corriden’s desk in the Circle Towerfj tt tt CATCHERS—AngIey. Riddle, Marlow. PITCHERS— Burwell, Cveneros. Leslie Barnhart, Mulrooney, Holshauser, Smith. Boone, Daney, Hall. House, Jones, Olds. Van Alstyne. rarki. INFIELDERS —Montague, Narlesky. Andrus. Monohan. Bonnra, SVolfe, Freigau. OUTFIELDERS Tneker. Fitzgerald. Clyde Barnhart, Dorman, Koenecke. a ft a THE appearance of Danny Boone’s name on the Tribe list xSs a surprise, but the club officials listened to his plea for another trial Smd answered okay. He will be Jaken south. Danny went to BoneIfk’ter Reese for treatment and was to convince the Indians he feels strong enough to be of service. His arm refused to respond last season and he quit the game after drawing a release from the Hoosiers. a b a Burrus Marlow, catcher. will be given ♦he once over by the Indians to satisfy ♦he whim of Johnny Riddle. The lad Is a resident of Riddle's home town of Columbus, via., and went to the same nren school. His age is 20. Marlow wiU be iaken to Florida. ana William Andrus, who will try to fill Bud Connollv’s shoes at second, batted 324 in the Southeastern league last season. He used to be with Terre Haute. a b a IT’S a laugh the way the Pacific Coast League is acting up in the draft controversy. The latest hooey from California is the suggestion for the Class AA leagues to become independent and to elect a commissioner of their own and invest him with the same powers as Judge Landis. Thereupon California suggests that William McCarthy of California be given the job. a a a Brooklyn bosses put a fast one over o:i Babe Herman and he was heard veiling from coast to coast. It was one of the noisiest transcontinental yells of baseball h:story. Hs was offered SIS.OOO for neat season, a boost of $3.t100 over his 1930 contract. He rejected the offer tnd demanded $20,000. The officials then offered him $19,009. which he refused. This disturbed the bosses and as a Joke they mailed him a contract at the old figures, $15,000. a a tt Did Herman shout! Becoming hot under the collar and indignant. Babe told friends anti the press he was a holdout because the Robins wanted to cut him 54.000 after hitting .333 last season. Asa matter of fact he was offered a hike of $4,000, but demanded $5,000. HENRY BONURA, the New Orleans Italian first sacker who will be with Indianapolis next year, is coaching the basketball squad of Loyola university in the Crescent City. He is a former collegiate campus athletic hero. a a a Gene Rye. outfielder bought from Waco by the Red Sox. is the youth who smacked three home runs in one inning during a daffy game in the Texas League last season. His 1930 homer total was thirtysix. Ho is short on stature and weight, but takes a powerful cut at the plate. Del Pratt developed him and predicts he'll make the big league grade. Rye has been in league ball only three years.

SCHAAF GIVEN EDGE OVER BAER IN GARDEN BOUT

Talkative Californian Makes Eastern Debut Maxie’s Record of 24 Knockouts in 27 Fights Appeals to Gotham Fans and 14,000 Will See Coast Heavy Against Bostonian. BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Maxie Baer and Ernie Schaaf reached the awaiting-the-gong stage for tonight’s ten-round heavyweight bout with Schaaf installed as the betting favorite at odds of 6 to 5. Baer, fistic chatterbox of Livermore, Cal., who has been training and talking for one solid week, had nothing to do today except talk until he goes to Madison Square Garden to be weighed and measured. Schaaf, member of Johnny Buckley’s Boston stable which also boasts the garrulous Jack Sharkey, maintained his near silence. Ernie, apparently having abandoned hope of winning by a knockout, expects to outpoint the Californian. He laughs at any idea of being knocked His record is against such a development. In more than 100 fights Schaaf never lias been knocked off his feet.

The weight advantage will be held by Schaaf. He weighed 205 pounds a couple of days ago, while Baer scaled 199. Baer gained nine pounds in his two weeks of training and is now at his heaviest fighting weight. The fight may be a sellout. Baer’s extensive conversations and the apparently even hopes held by each boxer, have attracted the fans’ attention. Originally this was supposed to be a secondary fight, but the match has caught on and now the Garden people look for a crowd of better than 14,000. The records of the boys do not seem to mean much. Schaaf’s 100odd fights, for the most part, have been with relatitve unknowns. He holds two wins over Tommy Loughran and one over Johnny Risko. He lost a decision to K. O. Christner. Baer flattened Christner in two rounds, but Baer’s other fights have been against heavies of whom little is known in the east. Fans here, however, are impressed with his record of twenty-four knockouts in twenty-seven fights.
