Surprise Deal
Buck Paced Tribe at Bat This Year; Justin Stein Is Obtained.
IEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10 (U.P.).— . In a postconvention deal today, the Indianapolis ball club of the American Association sold Buck Fausett, the Indians’ leading hitter and base runner, to- the Minneapolis Millers. It was a straight cash deal, according to Leo T. Miller, Indianap-
olis president and general manager. |
The transaction came as a sur-
- prise, since Fausett had his best
season in 1938 by batting consistently during the campaign. :However, he is not a power hitter and President Miller and Manager Schalk explained that they must have sluggers to stand a chance in the 1939 race. E : Fausett is 27 years old and last season was his third with Indianapolis. : Coach Griffin Retained
3° The Indians alsc traded Outfield-
er Otto Meyers, a rookie who was farmed out last season, for Infielder Justin Stein, former Columbus player. Stein was on the roster of the Waterloo club. : President Miller also announced that Wes Griffin had been re-en-gaged as Tribe coach’ to assist Manager Schalk. Baseball men moved North today after one of the busiest minor league conventions in history—both in the meeting halls and on the “ivory market.” Dozens of trade reports echoed about hotel lobbies as the diamond brigade left for New York to continue discussions and bartering next week at the major league meetings.
Vie for Hutchinson
The latest big league rumor was that the Pittsburgh Pirates had outbid the New York Yankees for Freddie Hutchinson, sensational 19-year-old Seattle pitcher in the Paciilc Coast League. It was said the Pirates have offered $50,000—$20,000 more than the Yanks, Seattle had been asking $75,000 for its young, . star. One deal that seemed certain was! sale of Zeke Bonura, Washington first baseman, to the Giants. : Another late report was that the Brooklyn Dodgers are trying to get Pitcher Hugh Mulcahy from the Phillies. Oscar Vitt, Cleveland manager, said that his club signed Oscar Melillo as coach. The ccnvention, in its final ses-. sion yesterday, passed two amendments. One raised the player limit of Class B teams from 15 to 16 and lifted the salary roof from $2250 to $2400 a year. The other amendment allows B, C and D clubs to sign six Mayers after July 15 in any season for the following year without those six being cqunted on the player limit for the season in progress.

clubs, can afford to stand pat. All even the contenders. The Cubs won the championship, yet the first thing Manager Gabby Hartnett did after the World Series was to announce a complete shakeup. Here was a club that was good enough to win the championship but the manager was convinced it had too many weaknesses to repeat. Mr. Pie Traynor felt the same way about: the Pittsburgh Pirates even while they were leading by what seemed to be a comfortable margin. With not more than two weeks of play left the manager admitved he didn’t have a first class club. “Whether we win or lose,” he told me, “I'll. have to make several changes before next spring.”

For the most part the race was among* the Cubs, the Pirates and the Giants. The manager of the Giants gave up on/his club with still a month to go in a close race. Like the others he seemed to feel

National League Teams
to Stand Pat
By JOE WILLIAMS : Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The baseball trading season started on a high note at New Orleans, then subsided suddenly, The New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs participated in a gaudy exchange of ivory, three men for three, with the usual speculative result ‘Who got blistered? Undoubtedly there will be more deals when the traders move into the big town next week. None of the clubs, particularly the National League
of them looked too bad last: season,
he didn’t have a ball club, either. Later he was embarrassed to find himself back in the race. The front runners had gone intd a tailspin. A situation such as this, stressing widespread mediocrity in a league, screams for action. This action must be expressed in one or two ways. Capable youngsters from the minors or r al changes in personnel effected through trades. Since there appears to be a dearth of - capable youngsters, the clubs must deal with themselves. They can’t afford to remain static. Even old faces set in new frames are better than no changes at all. There is always the possibility a veteran will get himself a new hunk of life in new surroundings. This is the thing that adds piquancy to baseball deals and stimulates customer interest. Both the Cubs and the Giants insist they got the better of their deal. Very likely they honestly feel so, too. Otherwise why would they have made a deal? Of course it would be bad showmanship to admit anything else but it must be conceded the managers follow these things very closely, that they have a reasonably sound idea of player values. Personally I can’t see that either club benefited a great deal, there must be some reason why the’ Cubs wanted to get rid of ‘Shortstop Jurges and the same thing goes for Shortstop’ Bartell of the Giants. These were the key men in the deal.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (U.P. ~The «world’s Series” of professional
: | football, always & high-scoring af-
fair, seems likely to stay in character tomorrow - when the New York Giants, Eastern champions, battle the Green Bay Packers, Western titleholders, in the sixth annual playoff game, Some 50,000 will see the game. The Giants and the Packers are the two highest scoring teams in the National League. Green Bay has scored 223 points, a new league record, and New York 194 points. 1 Both teams have varied attacks, combining the ultimate in passing and running. On the ground the Packers have outgained the Giants, 1671 yards to 1550, and also have a slight edge in passing, 1466 yards to 1142. The Giants, however, do not pass as often as the Packers and have a better passing average — 48.9 per cent, a new league record. Although the Giants beat the Packers, 15-3, on Nov. 20, the gamblers rated tomorrow’s game a tossup. The reason was because: Don Hutson, the Packers’ star end, is back in shape. He didn’t play in the other Giant game. - This year he has scored nine touchdowns, caught 32 passes for 548 yards gained and
scored 54 points.

He addressed the luncheon meeting after which afternoon special sessions were fo end the two-day annual session. Members ‘today heard discussions of archeology and geneology and the movement to form junior societies in many countries. ! Democracy at Stake
Mr. Morgan said in part: “Ina day when we hear on every hand that the whole idea of government by popular will is at stake, teachers of the social studies are confronted with this issue: Can we teach so as to build a faith and a zeal for democracy which can prevail against the fanatical impassioned zeal which other nations are building for their seductive social doctrines, and can we build this faith and zeal with methods which are consistent with democratic philosophy and processes? “Other nations are building ailegiance to their political philosophy

‘crowd psychology knows. Entire populations are falling under the spell of political seducers who, with the trick of banners, and simply worded slogans, build a fanatical devotion which is beyond our usual concept of what patriotism is and should be. : “The penetrating, driving power of this mass emotion, which is being set abroad in the world, arising from such methods, is a terrifying

“Are teachers going to do anything about it? For my own part, I believe teachers have a definite responsibility now for teaching democratic philosophy, not merely as one of the social philosophies, but rather as our philoséphy—the philosophy upon which our institutions are founded, the political doctrine to which we owe every right and privilege which we possess. “This is not a day to debate about it, but to proclaim it, for we need faith in democracy, a zeal for it, which will withstand the impact of all the forces which now try to destroy it. : “In building our faith and zeal for democracy, we hope that we may not stop to use the same political tricks which dictatorship can use, for if we do, democracy ceases to be democracy. We can't use those methods and keep faith with democratic ideals, because at the heart of democracy is faith in the dignity, the worth and good sense of each individual. That

individuals’ emotions to such a degree that his political reasoning is fogged and beclouded.
Faith Is Needed
“Our trust must lie in a faith and a zeal for democracy which is builded upon reason, founded upon understanding, developing a people of calm assurance, with a faith so deep that it will prevail against fanatical devotion, built from psychological trickery. We have every reason to believe that a faith built on understanding will live on through many a test which a zeal built upon the play of mass emotions can not and will not endure. “Our educational program needs be concerned with molding of human beings in terms of the democratic idea, to develop a people, who, above everything, love liberty; who love justice and fair play more than they love gain; who love harmony
