Both aré¢ un-

hands of Plymouth Tuesday took the edge off this match. In the highly respected North Central Conference the LafayetteRichmond game stands out. Richmond has lost only one game in five and Lafayette has the distinction of having halted Logansport’s winning streak at five straight. In the same loop Frankfort invades Muncie, Logansport plays Marion and New Castle meets Anderson. In the South Central Conference, Franklin, undefeated!in loop or any other kind of competition, meets a non-conference foe, Martinsville. - Fighting it out in circuit battles are Indianapolis Washington at Columbus, Rushville at Greensburg, and Connersville at Shelbyville. All beaten at least once in league play, they’ll have a chance to toss the South Central into further confusion as Franklin rides easily on the peak. Other standouts tonigh: Undefeated Huntington at likewise Wabash; Jeffersonville at Crawfordsville; Bloomington at Bedfords Ft. Wayne North Side at Ft. Wayne Central; Evansville Central at New Albany; Rensselaer at Michigan City.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Baseball has its haves and have nots, too. Mr. Larry MacPhail, {to the slaphappy delight of every right thinking citizen in Flatbush is in the

will ambassador from Roush Amer-

He’s trying gaily to prove it is possible to buy a pennant, the unhappy experience of Mr. Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. MacPhail is one of baseball’s haves in that he represents a group ‘which has given him the green light in purchasing material. This isn’t an altogether generous or altruistic gesture. Mr. MacPhail had previously demonstrated that the way to make. money in baseball was to spend money. Sooner or later Mr. MacPhail is going to have a profitable winner across the river, and from the looks of things it will be sooner. This isn't going to make the gentleman look bad, nor his manager, whose rating as a dugout genius jumps a clozen points every time a Medwick, go Higbe or an Owen is added to the roster. Cincinnati Example

Mr. MacPhail may resent being listed as a representative of the capitalistic party of baseball. If he wished to establish his liberal point of view, his tender feeling for the commoners, he would need only point to his Cincinnati record. There he was very much one of the have riots, working on an extremely thin bankroll, yet before he left he had assembled the solid makings of ‘a championship club. 80 it seems safe to assume that Mr. MacPhail can do it the hard way or the soft way, with dough or without. We have a private notion about his current splurge. He just

doesn't like Cincinnati and he’s determined to line up a team that will put a stop to the Red’s winning ways. You hear it said in baseball that Mr. McPhail left Cincinnati with a bleeding heart and a crushed soul. For him gratitude was a word to be found only in the dictionary. They paid him off in sordid cash: what he yearned‘for was credit, for the main guy to get up and say “chum, I sure give you credit.”

Money No Object

Behind all those spectacular deals, $150,000 for Medwick, (M. F., meaning MacPhail figures) $100,000 for Higbe, $60,000: for Owen, $50,000 for Reese, may run a feverish litany of revenge, with Mr. MacPhail, after each deal, cackling, “this will do it, this will do it, this will beat the Reds!” This would be a fancied close-up of the emotional Mr, MacPhail. > Another intimate tintype - would show the gentleman hard boiled, calculating the added boxoffice returns that logical and daring baseball deals almost invariably yield. The one positive practical thing we have noticed about Mr. MacPhai is that he ceases to be impracticable when it costs money. But we were talking about the haves and have nots of baseball. By contrast there is Mr. Bob Quinn whose position with the Boston Bees corresponds tqQ that of Mr, MacPhail’s with the Dodgers. Mr Quinn has a bunch of fine young players in whom all the moneyed clubs of the league are interested. Mr. Quinn needs money, hasn’t any money to spend and wants to hold on to what talent he’s got. To put it delicately, Mr. Quinn is in one hell of a fix. We think even Mr. MacPhail will agree that if Mr.

year would be the Bees and not the Dodgers. It makes a big difference when yofi are in a position where you can buy, and when you are in a position where sooner or later you must sell. And how about the managers who operate the have nots from year to year? Their chances of ever emerging from the purgatory of poverty to take bows in the great Landis fall dandruff festival, formerly known as the World Se-. ries, can never be bright. True, some of the men who are habitually associated with cheap clubs probably deserve mo better fate, but there is a certain element of luck in all forms of success and that goes for baseball managers. Some

wealthy and progressive clubs largely because they get the breaks. Others, just as capable, throw Shake eyes when they get the dice.

aseball people, for instance, willl to Bs there isn’t a better manager in the National League than Casey Stengel of the Bees. It was a laugh to all informed men in the league that the Chicago Cubs didn’t

of the Phillies. Well do we remember the day when Doc came to the majors. He had a fine minor league record back of him, He was sure the Phillies’ situation could be improved. At least there was one thing you could be certain of: the Phillies weren't going to sell any more stars. They were going to build. for the future. We haven’t seen Doc since the Phillies sold Higbe for $100, 000. Maybe he | hasn’t heard.
