IN ADDITION to the player deals completed at the Cincinnati stove league pow-wows, many others were hatched and will come to light later after the magnates return home and give the propositions further thought. This is particularly true of minor league bartering. + « « The convention delegates don’t always have the final | say and delay official business until they consult their superiors.

The Nation- | lal League voted “yes” on five |amendments, and the American! | League “no,” thus creating a dead- a lock which Landis broke by casting i. | his vote with the American Leaguers. | On two other questions the Na-| tional League voted “no” and the] American League and the Commis- | sioner strung along together by voting “yes.” | Pawns of Majors
| Asked why he voted against legis- | lation which the minors -passed by a vote of 41-0, Landis said: | “That legisjation didn’t originate; {in the minors. It originated in the ‘majors.

LONG TOM SHEEHAN, Minneapolis manager, made the Trade of the Week in a night club and moaned low about it. ... But he did not even suggest it. . Tom hung his $10 hat on a nail and after the evening's festivities discovered a $2 chapeau was in its place. It looks like the Indians got something in Third Sacker Johnny Hil ,..4 At any rate there was a lot of eyebrow lifting by other A. A. club representatives when they learned of the deal. In discussing the makeup of an All-Time A. A. lineup the American Association scribes at the convention liked Rube Marquard, Indianapolis, 1908, as one of the pitchers. ... The A. A. was organized in 1992.
Kinnick and Harmon on Collier's Team
SELECTIONS FOR Collier's 50th annual All-America football team, a perpetuation of the All-America started by Walter Camp in Collier's in 1889, were announced today. . The pro-Kinnicks and pro-Harmons in this area will now call a truce, for the time being, at least. . Both stars were named on this one Collier's team: Ends: Frank Ivy, University of Oklahoma; Esco ‘Sarkkinen, Ohio State. Tackles: Nicholas Drahos, Coren Joe Boyd, Texas Aggies. Guards: Harry Smith, U. S. C.; Edward Molinski, Tennessee. Center: John Schiechl, Sania Clara. Quarterback: Paul Christman, Halfbacks: Nile Kinnick, Towa; Tom Harmon, Fullback: Banks McFadden, Clemson.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE'S 1939 pitching records in their autumnal accounting produce a platoon of 10 Ha art aces who SRichraien Baseball's Centennial Year as “League Beate Before the Oct. curtain closed the pennant race books they had beaten the league, a is, each of them had scored at least one victory over every opposing club. No National League pitcher succeeded in holding a percentage margin over all his seven enemy clubs, however. .. . The best that even Paul Derringer or Bucky Walters could achieve was a six-ciub edge on the rest of the league. . . . The dashing Dodgers didn’t taste the sting of a Derringer defeat at any time. . .. Bucky beat the Chicago Cubs twice, but the Bruins more than made up for that by beating Bucky no less than five times.
Veteran Warneke on Honor List
TWO REDS, two Dodgers, two Cubs, and two Giants, with a Cardinal and a Bee, comprise the 10-twirler galaxy each of whom had his name sigried to “Winning pitcher” in at least one 1939 box score against each of his seven rival clubs. . . . They are Walters and Junior Thompson, Reds; puke Hamlin and Hugh Casey, Dodgers; Bill Lee and Larry French, Cubs; Harry Gumbert and Cliff Melton, Giants; Lon Warneke, Cardinals, and Bill Posedel, Bees. Bucky Walters’ seven triumphs over Brooklyn constituted the season's high in one man’s mastery over a single enemy club, an imposing total, since the champions won only 12 from the third-place Dodgers all told. . Cincinnati's six triumphs over Hugh Mulcahy, Phillies, was high “for one club's mastery over an individual opposing moundsman,
|| Evansville Downs (Cornell Cagers
Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 8— Evansville College's basketball team stepped up the pace to hand the touring Cornell College five of Mount Vernon, Iowa, a 68-45 dee feat here last night. Wilfred Doerner, junior forward and southpaw hook shot expert, looped in 11 field goals and five free throws to lead the Purple Aces. Schnider took scoring hone ors for Cornell with a pair of field ers and five free tosses. Evanse ville led, 29-14, at the half.
Oaks Felled By Franklin
Times Special FRANKLIN, Ind., Dec. 8 —Franklin College's basketball warriors snuffed a second-half Oakland City rally to score a 46-29 victory over the Oaks here last night. Franklin led, 20 to 8, at the half, but Oakland City made a strong bid in the third quarter, drawing within five points of the Grizzlies, 25-20, Then Franklin pulled away. Bill Wilson was the big noise in the Franklin attack, scoring 15 points, while Center Spradley cone tributed 10 for the invaders.
Captain of the Bulldog cagers is Jerome (Gick) Steiner, a senior from Berne. He is a guard that makes up in speed what he lacks in size. The Bulldogs are seeking to retain their Indiana College Conference - championship.
Bob Dietz, a junior letterman, will be on the firing line for Butler when the Bulldogs open: their basketball schedule in the Fieldhouse here tomorrow night against Ball State. Dietz is a forward and was the team’s high scorer last season.

Giants Picked to Break Jinx, Repeat As Champs of Cash-and-Carry League
By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sports Writer |
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 8.—For the] second year in a row the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers play for the Nationgl Professional Football Championship, and as the experts gather here for the meeting Sunday, the consensus is that the Giants will retain the title they won a year ago and in so doing crack a jinx of long standing. he National Football League, like the Southwest Conference,| never has seen a champion repeat since the present playoff system be-| tween division leaders was inaugurated. The New Yorkers beat the Packers, 23-17, a year ago and we're tempted to give them a slightly better margin this time.

{time Marquette ace whe is just]
about Strong's equal. These two ‘scored all the Giants’
points in beating the Redskins, Cuff | {making good on two attempts, and intimidated, these gents.
|Strong on another. Both are dangerous from anywhere within the 40-yard line, and
