MINNEAPOLIS is a leading contender for the 1940 minor league baseball convention and President Mike Kelley of the Millers is confident his invitation will be accepted. . . . He is one of the outstanding figures in minor league ball and is rounding out his 45th year in the game. Incidentally, Kelley played first base for Indianapolis in the old days and managed the Indians in 1913. Other cities in the running for next year's stove

league pow-wow are St. Paul, Toledo and Jacksonville, Fla.

Bill Meyer, Kansas City manager, is having a fine time this winter watching other pilots scratch for talent. . |. | His Yankee bosses will let him keep his 1939 infield of Sturm, Priddy, Hitchcock and Rizguto intact for the 1940 American Association race. On the other hand, Milwaukee will have a new infield all the way. . . . Les Powers at first, Barney Walls at second, Charlie English at third and Stan Galle at short. ’

Brewers Paid $10,000 for Johnny Hill

JOHNNY HILL, acquired from the Brewers by Indianapolis, cost the Cream City club $10,000 last April when purchased from the Boston Bees. . . . Erratic fielding is Hill's weakness but there's no question about his ability to garner base hits and keep his average well above the 300 mark. When Phil Weintraub, Minneapolis’ slugging first sacker was granted permission to make a deal for himself with a big league club

he was not made a free agent. , . , { And Phil has discovered the difference. . . . No major club has given him an audience. » = =

ZACK TAYLOR, the old catcher, is reported to have signed as Toledo's 1940 manager. . . . The Mud Hens and St. Louis Browns are expected to announce a working agreement after Judge Landis looks over the papers. . . . Just how the lowly Browns are going about it to supply Toledo with Class AA talent has not been revealed. . . . Maybe out of a crystal ball. ’ Last year the Hens “worked” with the Detroit Tigers and were left holding the sack several times when the Bengals recalled players just Risen it looked like the Toledo nine was on the point of moving out of the cellar,

Apostles May Take on Veterans

FOSTER GANZEL, St. Paul manager, is dickering with Pinkey Nijueay: veteran infielder, and Earl Whitehill, veteran Cleveland urler Whitehill and Whitney are 10-year men in the big leagues and have been made free agents. . . . Whitehill. who pitched for Detroit, Washington and before concluding his major league career with the Cubs last season, recently was turned adrift and Whitney was released by the Phillies. Ganzel believes Whitehill is still capable of pitching winning ball in the American Association and that Whitney would strengthen his infield and give the Saints increased batting power on using Whitney at second base if he signs the veteran,

Kelley had a fine season at the box office and wound up selling pitchers Herb Hash and Bill Butiand and Catcher George Lacy to the same Red Sox and Shortstop Jimmy Pofahl to Washington. In addition. the Athletics drafted Elon Hogsett, the venerable left hander, for $7300. . . . That is how tough it is for major league men like Connie Mack who have no chain stores. . . .

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 8 (U. P). — The odds were 6 to 5 and take your

choice as the New York Giants, champions of the National Professional League, held their final practice today in preparation to defend their title against the Greer! Bay Packers tomorrow in the world series (of football. | The champions will meet the | Packers, Western Division champions, at the State Fair Grounds before a sellout crowd of 31,316. The Giants were saddened by the death of Coach Steve Owen's mother. They had traveled from New York on a train running only a few minutes ahead of one on which Owen was returning his mother’s body to Kinsley, Kas. He will not be here for the game and Assistant Coach Bo Molenda and Capt. Mel Hein will handle the team.

Leaders Call It Tossup

If they are successful the club will be the first National League cham- | pion to retain its title since the playoff system was adopted seven | years ago. The wise money handlers were betting even but a few civic-minded Milwaukee speculators were offering 8 to 5 odds for the Packers. Molenda jand Coach Curley Lambeau of the Packers both predicted a close game.

Choice on Giant

It'll be the good right arm of Arnold Herber, Green Bay Packers’ star passer (left), against the good right foot of Ward Cuff. New York Giants’ great field goal specialist, when the two teams battle for the National Professional Football championship tomorrow in Milwaukee.

Times Special NEW CASTLE, Ind, Dec. 9— Taking the lead after three minutes of play the New Castle Trojans defeated Tech of Indianapolis here last night, 39 to 16. The North Central Conference leaders had things pretty much their own way throughout the contest and held Tech scoreless in the first quarter while hitting for 12 points themselves. At the half the Trojans were ahead, 14 to 4, and then the Trojans boosted their lead to 30 to 8 at the end of the third period. Big pay-off shooters for the winners were Warren Lewis who accounted for 17 points and Marshall Koontz whe made 11. Frank Buddenbaum paced the Tech forces with seven points. Summary:

Tilts Scheduled

The South and Far West were the battlegrounds of two importe ant football games today and sellout crowds were predicted at both. The Rose Bowl invitation was at stake as undefeated and untied Tennessee opposed the in-and-out Auburn Plainsmen at Knoxville, and University of Southern California met U. C. L. A. at Los Angeles, both undefeated but tied. Auburn is out of the Bowl running, which put it all up to Tennessee. The Vols were expected to come through and win the right to represent the “East” at Pasadena on New Year's Day. Winner of the Los Angeles tilt today will represent the Pacific Coast Conference in the Bowl. In the event of a tie the Trojans probably will be the choice, since they defeated Duke University in the classic last New Year's.

By TOM OCHILTREE It seems to violate all the laws of nature and the ancient superstitions of the race, but the truth of the

matter is that a right wing in hockey corresponds. in temperament to a southpaw pitcher in baseball. This startling fact was revealed rather hesitantly by Herbie Lewis, manager of the Indianapolis Capitals, who tonight will send his squad against the Ramblers in Philadelphia. Maybe the Romans started all this business about the difference between the left and right sides, They regarded all things left as sinister. At that, some of the guys who batted against Carl Hubbell a few years ago could have added some corroborating testimony to this theory. But in hockey it is just the reverse. The term left winger (as used in hockgy and not in politics) usually refers to a quiet, steady fellow with a lot of control. A right winger is exactly opposite. There is more of the poet, the hopscotcher and the vagabond in his soul. The side a man shoots from determines which wing he plays. A left side shooter plays left wing, and such a forward holds the stick with his left hand low and his right hand on top. The hand lowest on the

Right Winger on Ice Like Left Hander in Baseball

ral, 5. Referee—King. Umpire—Sprinkle.

Thus a left winger who is right handed in everything but hockey will have a great deal more control but not as much power as a right winger. In organized hockey there are a few ambidextrous players, but not many. All players, whether they are right or left shooters, also play back hands just as tennis players do. Lewis also explained that the hardest shot for any goal tender to save is one that comes in about a foot above the ice. Shots of this type are too low for him to catch and to high for him to kick out. A good offensive player puts a different pitch on all his shots. A lofted shot comes from a quick snap action of the wrists when the disc

Hitting the rubber from behind the body and dragging the shot makes it skim along the ice. One of a goalie’s big problems of judgment is when to stretch himself out full length on the ice. This is a final desperate maneuver to close up the rink surface in front of the net. If he drops too soon, the attacking side can loft in a high one to the corner, while if he waits too long he may not have any opportunity to get down at all, Just like baseball players study each other's weaknesses, so hockey
