STOVE LEAGUE chatter: The Boston Red Sox have raided their Louisville farm club for’ the 1945 season. . . . Fretl Walters, the Colonels’ first string catcher last season, is almost sure to be retained since a the Sox lack backstop material. hs Catchers Hal Wagner and Roy Partee are both in the army : and Bill Conroy is expected to be called for service at any time «+. Thus, the only receiver besides walters is Billy Holm, former Cub, who was claimed from Los Angeles in the draft, The two heaviest stickers coming up are Third Baseman Nick Polly and Outfielder Steve Barath. . . . Both are rugged rights handers and possess the power to produce extra-base knocks. i. . Ben Steiner is a promising second sacker. . .. The 1944 season was his first at Louisville, . . . Previously, he had been considered an excellent prospect at Scranton, but suffered from a stomach ailment. . . . One of Ben's prime assets is his speed,

Deutsch and Wilson Bright Prospects ALSO recalled from Louisville by the Red Sox are Mel Deutsch and Jim Wilson, well-proportioned righthanded pitchers. Deutsch, who towers six-feet-two, is a control pitcher, but he surprised Manager Joe Cronin by his speed in the junior world's series at Baltimore. ... Mel fields his position smartly and owns a baffling curve, Wilson, winner of 19 games for the Colonels, possesses blinding speed, but is prone to wildwess, ,.. With more experience and slightly better control, he should make a name for himself in the ma jors.

Worked 20 Years on Park Site ASSEMBLING of the 13 acres of ground near Grand and Chouteau aves. in St. Louis, on which Sam Breadon plans to build his new Cardinal field, took 20 years of work by the real estate company which got the lots together for Breadon. The first tract of about seven acres at the northeast corner of Bpring and Chouteau aves, where the entrance to the park will be, was acquired in 1924. In the last two years, the remainder of the property was acquired from 15 owners at a cost of £07,000. , . . Eighteen deeds were necessary to convey all the property and some of them had to be sent to owners in India, Australia, England and Canada for signatures.

didn't know the answer yet,

it may be taken to New - York,

crowds of up to 100,000 could be acoommodated, The sports world—and a fair portion of the non-sports world, 00 had expected an answer when President Roosevelt met press and radio reporters this morning, But Mr. Roosevelt said he still didn't know where it would be played, either, It still looked as though there should be a definite answer some time today. If the game is switched to a larger city in the interest of selling war bonds, the move must be made right soon because of the hig job of printing tickets (present tickets are for Annapolis) and making other necessary preparations.

Fish Favors Change

Latest addition to the growing list of those urging that the game be switched was Hamilton Fish Jr,, once an all-American football player at Harvaard and now a veteran Republican representative Newburgh, N. Y. “It would be in the interest of both academies and the services for the President to authorize these two great teams to play in some large stadium in Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York,” Fish said, “I can see no valid reason why they should not be permitted to play in either of these cities, and if the.game results. in selling a large amount of bonds so much the better.” The issue already has been Kicked around more thoroughly than will be the football used in jhe game.

Mead Advocates Transfer Yesterday Senator James M. Mead (D. N. Y.), joined other con~ gressional and public leaders urgling the game's shift to a metro- | politan area, Mead predicted that | $100,000,000 in war bonds could be

With subways available, | handling the crowd would “be just another day's work,” he said, “A great throng of people would again be thrilled and inspired by the opportunity of witnessing this [traditional contest between the two | service schools of the country,” he |added. “One always comes away | from an Army-Navy game prouder [than ever that he is an American.” ODT Chief J. Monroe Johnson, who decides whether the trip is necessary, is opposed to the transfer, however, He sald at Chicago Wednesday that it would be an “outrage” to move the game from Annapolis, - which has a stadium with a seating capacity of 18,756, to New York or Philadelphia, Both James V. Forrestal, secretary of the navy, and Henry L. | Stimson, secretary of war, have refused comment. Both had press | conferences scheduled yesterday ‘and both cancelled them. Stimson, however, has been reported as against a change.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (U, P).— Coaches Earl (Red) Blalk of Army and Oscar (Swede) Hagberg of Navy think their high-riding football tPhms may run into trouble before they meet each other, but bookmakers pooh-poohed.that pessimism today and installed both elevens as 3 to 1 favorites to win their games Saturday. ; Blaik, pointing to Army 1943 game with Pennsylvania in which the Quaker held the favored Cadets to 13-13 tie, said his team faced “a natural let down” after its victory over Notre Dame and that Penn would be pointing for Army in a traditional battle. Hagberg said flatly that “Purdue is the strongest team Navy has yet faced” and that it had better balance than- Notre, Dame, or Georgia Tech and North Carolina pre-flight, the teams which upset the Midshipmen early in the season. ‘He also indicated that Bob Jenkins, considered the top Navy back, would be out of commisison because of a charley horse,
