Manager Huggins, of the Yanks, stated that he made this trade in order to securaSchang and Hoyt. He needs a fast cfftcher like Schang, and he believes that Hoyt is going to become one of the best right-hand pitchers in the American league. It is likeIv that he will trade Harper and McNally to Philadelphia for Infielder Joe Dugan, whom he will use as a utility man, as he expects Fewster to play second base for him next year. The deal for Marquard was made after two other offers for Ruether had been turned down by Manager Moran. Wednesday morning John McGraw offered $25,000 in cash for the Red southpaw and later Manager Rickey, of the Cardinal's, offered either Outfielder McHenry or Infielder Janvrin for him. Moran considered all three of the propositions carefully. Pat was willing to take either MeHenry or Janvrin for Ruether, but preferred a pitrher, and so decided to Heal with Brooklyn and thus secure

EARLHAM CLASH WITH BOILERMAKER FIVE WILL BE CITY'S GREATEST NET CLASSIC

Undoubtedly the biggest basketball classic ever staged in Richmond will be the Purdue-Earlham contest at the Coliseum, scheduled for Monday night, Jan. 3. Coach Ray B. Mowe states that he has been very lucky in securing Purdue, as several schools had been negotiating for the same date. The game here will form a part of the regular trip of the Lafayetts squad as they play in Cincinnati onw Saturday night, spend Sunday in Richmond, playing here Monday night and proceed to Indianapolis Tuesday where they meet the Butler aggregation the same evening. In seeing a conference team in action local fans will get a rare treat. The Boilermakers are being watched with Interest this year as they have a strong combination and are booked tor a stiff schedule. They have a team composed of three veterans and an abundance of new material. White is Star White, who holds down the floor guide position is rated as one of the best guards in the middle' west. Last year he was seleted as a member of the All Conference nve. During his

nigh school days he was a member of

a wise and experienced lertnana nur!-ilhe championship Lebanon ouintet and

box. Bids for Maranville The Cincinnati club made a very large cash offer for Rabbit Maranville. of the Braves, which Owner George Grant has under advisement. Manager Fred Mitchell would prefer players and is looking round to see if he can secure what he wants, but Moran is right on his heels and may secure "the Rabbit". If Pat cannot get Maranville or Terry he is ready to make an offer for Arthur Fletcher, of the Phillies, who played such great ball for the Giants for so many years. "Fletcher has a couple of good years left in him." said Pat, "and he is a winning player of just the stamp I like to have on my club. I will make an offer for him as soon as I can find Bill Donovan." Owner Frank Navln, of the Detroits, expects Ty Cobb here by Friday to sign up as manager of the Tigers for the coming year. -"The Job has been open to Cobb ever since Jennings decided to leave us.' said Mr. Navin. Last night Charley Herzog announced that he probably will go to Rochester with George Sellings, who has just leased the club there with privilege of purchase. Herzog realizes that h is through with the big

LEGION OVERWHELMS MUNCIE SPECIALS IN ORAGGY ENCOUNTER

The American Legion basketball squad defeated the Muncie Specials by the overwhelming score of 41 to 17, in their first home game of the season on the coliseum floor. The word "squad" is used because every man in uniform "for the local legion post was given a short trial in the game. Muncie was not quite up to expectations and failed to .show much fight. The game was a slow encounter. Muncie said their regular guards were unable to come with the team and there

seemed to be little doubt that

were telling the truth. They had a much stronger offense than defense. The local team displayed a good

is hailed by his schoolmates as a second Oliphant. One of his specialties is the javelin throw In which event he holds several records. Former High School Local interest in the game will center in the hope of seeing George Eversman, former R. H. S. star, in action again. It has been reported that Eversman is included in the varsity squad but whether or not he will be given a chance In the game is a matter of conjecture. In his. high school days he played the floor guard position and two years ago was a member of the team that went to the state tournament and won its first two games. Last season Eversman was a member of the freshman team at Purdue. He played also in the freshman nine and on the. whole made an enviable record during his first year. Expects Large Crowd Coach Mowe is anticipating a large crowd at the game and has announced that all seats except the second balcony will be reserved. Reservations may be made by mail order when accompanied by checks. Reserved seats will be 75 cents and general admission 50 cents. It is estimated that about 1,000 seats will be reserved. Mowe reports that he has already received inquiries regarding the game from surrounding towns. Tickets may be purchased at the Starr Piano Sales rooms after Dec. 27. Although the game takes place before the opening of Earlham after the Christmas vacation, it is thought that some students will return early in order to witness the contest. The basketball squad will return to school and resume practice on the Friday preceding the game. They will also keep in trim as much as possible, during vacation.

Gveensfork high school defeated Centerville in the curtain raiser to the American Legion contest at the coliseum Wednesday night, 26 to 21. The rhief feature of the contest seemed to be the closeness of the score which kept the rooters from the two towns on edge. However, the contest was not a hair-raiser, as both teams seemed lost on the coliseum floor. Bojh teams were short on pass work and the contest consisted of a man setting the ball and dribbling to shoot, the other side following suit. Plenty or good material was in evidence bu'. it was not developed. The game was close throughout. Greensfork maintaining a slight lead most of (he way and forging ahead in the final minutes. Fisher and Lindley scored the greatest number of points for their teams with eight and

but Porter and O'Neile dropped long

ones in from all angles. Ashinger Injured Ashinger, who was substituted for McBride in the second half, received a dislocated ankle. The injury was to the same ankle that was injured during the football season. Replogle, Muncie forward, was the star for his team, chalking up five field goals, all of them from difficult places. He covered the floor in good style, but was not in condition to stand the pace set by the locals. O'Neile, Porter and Simmons shared scoring honors, the first two getting 12 points and the latter 11.
