‘Rough House on Ice’ Moves Into East

last night. This little hockey ‘drama which has no roles for men with weak shins, loose teeth or worn hip pads, will move to Springfield, Mass. tomorrow night for its Eastern showing. 2 There, it is feared, mayhem may take precedence over hockey, especially since last night's frosty turmoil ended with our Capitals on the lean end of a 3-0 score.

Big Leagues’ Trading Slow

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Major league baseball officials reassembled today] for what may be one of their quietest winter conventions in years unless some of those rumors hatched at Atlanta blossom into actual player trades. This was scheduled as sales-talk day. Officially, the convention opens tomorrow with separate meetings of the American and National Leagues to be followed by a joint session with Commissioner K. M. Landis on Wednesday. Meanwhile from Boston came word that sale of the Bees to Albert H. Powell, New Haven, Conn., coal merchant and one-time vice president of the club, may be announced this week. Charles F. Adams, chain store magnate and majority stockholder, said that he and Powell “had agreed on a fair value of my interest in the Bees which includes three-fourths of the total shares.” The sale price was not announced. Early arrivals at Chicago had little to offer but warmed over rumors. Almost all of them wanted something and had something to give out but shied at the asking price. : :

Kayoed in the Third

| Last night's rough stuff started lin the first period and reached its climax at the opening of the third {session after the visiting Indians {had rattled home two goals as good evidence of why they're leading the Eastern division. Referee C. S. Campbell objected to Eddie Bush's tactics around the goal and .ordered him to take a two-minute furlough. Whereupon Andy Brannigan, a Springfielder, said something or other uncomplimentary to Eddie, and Eddie answered wjth a quick poke to the button - that flattened Brannigan. Then in stepped Owner Eddie Shore with a you-can’t-do-that-to-one-of-my-employees and take-this-you-big-so-and-so. Bush's behavior, ruled Mr. Campbell, wasn’t of the best, what with ladies and kiddies present, so he ordered Eddie off the ice for the duration. Shore, he said, also was guilty of misconduct and could just cool off for five minutes in the box provided for that purpose.

“You, Here, Too?”

Hardly had the gate been locked on Shore before Jack Howard, working at center for the Indians at that time, was charged with hooking, a two-minute misdemeanor. That left the Caps a man to the good, with Connie Brown, Butch McDonald, Bob Whitelaw and Joe Fisher working. Eligible Springfield hands were Frank Beisler, Fred Hunt and Freddie Thurier. With this one-man advantage and plenty of room to skate in, Carl Liscombe punched a rebound into the Springfield cage, but ‘the referee said Charley Mason had committed a foul seconds before and the goal couldn't be allowed. The referee said he was sorry, but that was no solace to the Caps and 3581 hepped-up hometowners. After the game, Lewis filed a protest with league president, Maurice Podoloff. Lewis claimed that hockey rules permit the attacking team to finish its offensive play even though a foul is called on an opposing player. : Five Capitals continued to oppose six Indians, but ineffectively, and Thurier drove home the third Springfield goal with only a halfminute to go. In the first period the Hoosiers looked red-hot. Springfield's opening line didn’t once get past the. red line, while the Caps did war dances around the Indian wigwam: Jones, Kiirea, Behling, Liscombe and Franks showed themsel (Continued on Page 15) yes

Stengel on Prowl

Casey Stengel of the Boston Bees was on the prowl all day yesterday, but his activities may be curbed by possibility of the ball club’s sale. Negotiations were reported under way. Casey has three assets in shortstop. Eddie Miller and pitchers Dick Errickson and Nick Strincevich, each of which could bring a bundle of cash. ; About the only official fireworks may be in the American League meeting tomorrow. Last season, the St. Louis Browns, one of the league's. financial problems, were permitted to play 14 home games at night. All other clubs in both leagues were limited to seven and a proposal has been submitted to limit the Browns to that number next year. Also expected during the week: 1. A new contract for Landis, extending - his present contract from 1942 until Jan. 12, 1946, expiration date of the 25-year-old majorminor league agreement. Landis, now 74, became commissioner in 1920 and draws an annual salary of $50,000, Trade Rule Discussed

2. Removal. of the no-trade ban against the American League champions. Originally aimed at the New York Yankees, the rule now affects the Detroit Tigers. Only way the Tigers can acquire new talent is on waivers. 1 3. Further discussion of the status of a ballplayer called into military service. - : On the trading side, Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Chicago White Sox was threatening a deal of some kind, probably for a second baseman. He has catchers to spare. The Browns need catchers, but will offer only outfielders and Dykes may settle for a long ball hitter. Bill Terry of the Giants wants Hank Leiber returned from the Cubs and the Cubs want Catcher Harry Danning in exchange.

the Poor Redskins Can Only Grin and BEAR It

Joe Stydahar (13), Redskin one-yard-line,

By GEORGE KIRKfYEY United Press Staff Correspondent ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—For one cyclonic afternoon, the Chicago Bears, the mastodons of the Midwest, were the greatest collection of football players ever assembled.

Striking with a savage and relentless attack that crushed the oncepowerful Washington Redskins as a sledgehammer would an egg shell, the Bears yesterday captured the vod ’s professional title by the score of 73-0.

It was unbelievable, yet it happened. Operating at better than a point a minute, the Bqars made 11 touchdowns and left the field strewn with records. It was the greatest score ever run up in a playoff of league games, the most touchdowns ever scored in any kind of league competition and possibly the most crushing defeat ever administered in a championship game in pro or college football.

Keep Up Dizzy Pace

They struck in the first 45 seconds and kept up the dizzy pace which made the Redskins a pitiful

Eastern divsion championship. It was a stunning shock to the Washington fans, who on Nov. 17 saw the Redskins beat them 7-3. In the end even George Marshall, the Redskins’ owner, walked out. He couldn't stand it. In the deep gloom after the bame,

Marshall charged, “Those guys ott’

there quit,” but later in a cooler moment he salved it with, “They lost their heads.” Redskins’ mistakes helped the Bears, but not even time and tide could have stopped the bruising giants, who charged 68 yards in one breath-taking run for their first score, moved 80 yards for their second, and smashed 42 yards for their third in the first 12 minutes-of play. The throng of 36,034, which packed Griffith Stadium to capacity, were thunder-struck.

Vengeance Taken . i Once the Bears had the Redskins

Bears have run up large totals before this season, but they always became complaisant then and were usually on the run when the end came. Yesterday the Bears, with

vengeance in their hearts, kept the heat on for all full 60 minutes. Some of the Bears said they had been burned by a remark of Redskinskin owner Marshall about them having folded up in important games, Others said they were burned

by the bad breaks in their first game with the Redskins. Sammy Baugh, the Redskins’ passing wizard who pitched his team to the world’s title over the Bears in 1937, said “it was the most humiliating thing I ever went through on the football field.” Ten men scored the Bears’ first 10 touchdowns, and Harry Clark, West Virginia rookie, made his second touchdown and the Bears’ 11th and last. Four touchdowns were made on runs, three on plunges, three on pass interceptions and one on a pass. .

Two at a Time

Bill Osmanski’s 68-yard run on the second play of the game was something to make one’s hair stand on end. Sweeping around Washington’s right wing, the 197-pound fullback reached the sidelines and run the line until he reached the 30. George Wilson, Bears’ end, swept in from the side and cracked down two Redskins, Justice and Johnston, with one mighty block to let him go on. . The Redskins lost 12 yards on running plays. That's how good the big Chicago line was. r
