By Eddie Ash A. A. Well-Stocked With Star Managers m m m Hodapp Returns to League With Birds

JF THE American Association is able to match its standard of team play xvith the “managerial brains” in the league, all will be well. The Hickey loop has an array of high class talent directing the eight clubs, and the 1934 season is expected to produce plenty of smart baseball. Four teams changed pilots, all in the west, and every aggregation is ready to shoot the works now with the possible exception of Louisville, which is cleaned of financial support. Manager Bruno Betzt-I of the Colonels was not on hand at the Chicago meeting of the A. A. this week and no news was given out un that club. The big powwow held in the Windy City developed a lot of good fellowship that will prove of value to the entire circuit and moves were made that will put more American Association information into the hands of the sports writers. The league statistician will issue frequent reports and President Thomas J. Hickey will keep in close touch with all newspapers rather than leave it to the press associations to distribute. The press associations don’t always give the big minor leaguers the attention they desire. tt a a tt tt o RED KILLEFER. manager of the Indians, remained over in Chicago oday and will come to Indianapolis tomorrow to stay a few days. He is in the market, for a third baseman and also is giving some thought to making one change in the catching department. Killefer tried to ilrposc of part, of his surplus players at Chicago, but there was a shortage C>f cash Owner Norman A. Perry returned to Indianapolis yesterday and t 1 ted that the meeting was the best since he entered the game. The •nr v managers in the A A. lost no time swinging into action and Kansas 'cry, Minneapolis. St. Paul and Milwaukee all made player deals. The H c. Blues reached a working agreement with the Boston Red Sox and v >il have no trouble forming a strong team. The managerial lineup for 19;;4 follows—Columbus, Ray Blades: Toledo, Steve O'Neill; Louisville, H uno Betzel; Indianapolis. Red Killefer; Milwaukee, Allan Sothoron; 'Kansas City, Roger Peckinpaugh; Minneapolis, Ownie Bush; St. Paul, Hob Coleman. aaa an n Among the last American Association deals completed at Chicago was one that will interest Indianapolis fans. The Columbus Red Birds, the 1033 champions, rattled the chains on the St. Louis Cardinal chain store and obtained Johnny Hodapp to assist in bracing their infield. He was pulled over from the Rochester Internationals where he had been sent by the Boston Red Sox recently. Hodapp batted more than .300 this year, but was not employed as a regular. Johnny was developed by Indianapolis after being picked off the sandlots of Cincinnati. He brought a small fortune when the Indians sold him to Cleveland. The stalwart pastimer has seen .service with three major league clubs, all in. the American League. Cleveland. Chicago and Boston. Columbus thinks Hodapp is due for a comeback and that his swatting power will count heavily in the attack of the? Birds. tt si tt tt tt tt DAVE BANCROFT. 1933 pilot of the Minneapolis Millers, believes he stands a fair chance of catching on as new manager of the Cinri onati Reds. He organized strong support for himself in Chicago last iu 'ht and Larry MacPhail, Cincy business manager, said he would give serious thought to Dave's application. However, MacPhail prefers a playin' pilot Ownie Bush succeeded Bancroft at Minneapolis, and it will b( a strange twist of baseball if Bancroft succeeds Bush at Cincinnati. An army or veterans has applied for the Cincy berth, the only one left c; en in the majors. Jim Bottomley, first sacker. wants a chance at the task, but MacFliail has reached no definite conclusion. Larry is a smart tn blicitv man and may not announce the appointment for several days. The Rods failed to land any stars at the Chicago gathering and there is little baseball optimism in the Queen City.

American League Splits Up Athletics’ Machine Red Sox, Tigers, White Sox Buy Up Stars Connie Mack Worked Nineteen Years to Assemble; Majors to Adopt Lively Ball. By GEORGE KIRKSEY t'nited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Dec. 15.—A drastic realignment of strength in the American League and adoption of a livelier ball by the National League were the principal results today of the annual joint session of the major leagues. The Boston Red Sox. Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox gained in player strength at the expense of the Phinadelphia Athletics. Connie Mack dismantled the team he had spent nineteen years in building to one of the greatest in baseball. Mack completed the sale of most of the stars that carried his team to the American League championship in 1929, 1930 and 1931. His 1929 and 1930 clubs also won in the world series of those years.

Last year he sent Jimmy Dykes, A1 Simmons and Mule Haas to the White Sox. and this year pitcher George Earnshaw joined his former teammates.. Mickey Coc rirane was sold to Detroit, where he will man- j age the Tigers next season. Rube Walberg. Robert Moses Grove and Max Bishop went to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for pitcher Bob Kline, shortstop Harold Warstler and cash, reported to have been $150,000. With the sale of his stars, the gaunt Athletics leader was back from where he started after wrecking his 1914 team.- The wholesale transfer of his players, by which he realized $250,000 or more, was necessary to satisfy his bankers. Other American League deals included the trade of Carl Reynolds J bv the St. Louis Browns to the 60s- !

Butler Ready j to Quit Loop Butler university officials have definitely decided to withdraw from the Missouri Valley conference at l the end of the present school year, j it was reliably reported here today. Rumors that the school would withdraw were substantiated recent- j ly when Butler scheduled only one Missouri Valley conference football team next. fall. Butler has been a member of the conference only two years but the j venture has proved a financial loss.; The Bulldog football teams were not | strong enough for other members of the league while its basketball teams were too superior. Buter won the Missouri Valley i conference basketball championship ; last, year and is a favorite to repeat this year. BAILEY HOLDING OWN By United Press BOSTON. Dec. 15.—Irvin (Ace) Bailey, injured ace hockey player, was holding his own at noon today, more than seventeen hours after i a delicate operation performed as a | last resort to save his life. Mrs. > Mildred Bailey was permitted to re- : main at her husband's bedside alone j for fifteen minutes, and later she j again visited him, accompanied by 1 Manager Connie Smythe of the Toronoto Leafs.

ton Red Sox for pitcher Ivy Andrews, and the exchange of outfielder Jonathan Stone by Detroit to Washington for outfielder Goose Goslin. The nearest the National League came to an exchange of players was when a joint conference of Boston Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs officials broke up with the announcement that no agreement was reached. President William Harridge of the /merican League and Fresident John Heydler of the National l eague will meet in Philadelphia next month to agree upon specifications for the standard major league ball. The ball to be agreed upon will be much livelier than the ball the National League used this year and r*'ll be nearer the American League r":' 'cations, Heydler said. i leagues voted at the closing scsrl n to place a ban on synthetic c'c” .lc-headers prior to June 15, me? to continue the annual interleague all-star series initiated in C hicago last season. The game will fce Feld in New York next year, and rotated among other major league cities thereafter. Heydler and Harridge both were re-elected presidents of their league and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was re-elected as baseball comsioner for seven years. PING-PONG MATCH SET An intercity ping-pong match between the Indianapolis Padclle Club and the Fluntington pin-pong team will be staged Sunday afternoon at the Paddle club, eighth floor, Test building. Huntington players are: Robert Fetrie. John and Joe Manoski, Robert Hiner, Richard Dalton, Ralph C’rdfrey and D. O. Crittes. Local playotr, are: Jim McClure, Joel Inman, Dick McDowell, Jerry Jacobs, Fob Rowe, George Cottrell, Bob Crawford and W. C. Whipple. BUSH BACKS CLUB Guy Bush, the Chicago Cubs' pitcher, extends his baseball influence beyond the National League during the summer, for he has a club in Chicago known as the Guy Bush Gassers, named after his oil stations. The team won twenty-five out of thirty-eight games against the better semi-pro clubs of that city and others in northern Illinois during 1933.

Freedie Pence

In those days Freedie was rated as one of the best goalies in the game. Sunday afternoon he will be seen in action when the Indians take the fleer in Tomlinson hall against the Ft. Wayne club. Freedie's greatest rival in the old days, O'Metz, will be at the goal position on the Ft. Wayne quintet. The game starts at 3, with a prelim carded for 2 p. m.

matches. White and Martin will be making their first local appearance. Carter hopes to obtain an outstanding opponent for the colorful Zaharias, who is known as one of the "bad boys" of the mat game. Several well-known grapplers, including Gino Garibaldi and Jim McMillon, turned down offers to tackle Zaharias, according to Carter. The Colorado Greek is rated high in professional wrestling circles and is recognized as a real "gate" attraction. He is of the rough and tumble type.
