CBy Associated Press) -LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Dec. 6. Trade winds began blowing at the minor league convention today as a result of the sale yesterday of Sammy Hale, sensational batter and fielding star of the Portland, jOre. club .of the Pacific Coast league to the Philadelphia Americans for a reported price of players and cash approximating $7500. "Whispered conferences indicated that the major leaguers were in a trading mood and it is likely there will be some important sales before the close of the meeting tomorrow, Edward Bar row, business manager of the New York Americans expects to close a deal for the purchase of Pitcher Jakie May, aformer St. Louis Nationauls' discard who was a , pitching sensation with Vernon in the Pacific Coast league last season. May won in the neighborhood of 27 games. The preliminary negotiations for the purchase of May have been concluded and all that remains is the signatures closing the deal. The price i3 said to be 175,000. Third Record Sate. When Hale was sold to the Athletics yesterday the deal made the third Pa cific Coast league star to go to the majors within the last year at record' breaking prices. The White Sox bought Willie Kam, third baseman from San Francisco for $100,000 while the Giants purcnasea Jimmy McConnell, a sensational outfielder, from the Saa Fran cisco club for $75,000. Manager Ty Cobb of the Detroit Americans together with President Frank Navin, was in frequent confer ence with Manager Miller Hugglns of tne New York Americans and business manager, Barrow. Thfir conferences were supposed to concern Bobby Veach the veteran outfielder, whom' the Yanks have "wanted. Veach, it Is'said, is anxious to get away from Detroit. Kenesaw M. Landis baseball commissioner, is scheduled to address the major and minor leaguers at their an nual banquet tonight. Contrary to previous reports, Mr. Landis will not - discuss the draft. His decision to ignore the question is the result of a conviction that to do otherwise would be a waste of "words. -Makes No Headway. The commissioner declares he talk ed himself "blue in the face" at the minor league convention in Buffalo last year about restoration of th$ draft, trying to bring the five reca citrant leagues .back into the line, but he made no headway. Wtmt Commissioner Landis intends to tell the minors at the banquet i3 something, only he himself knows The commissioner is not expected to reply to the charges of President Tearney of the Western and Three I leagues that he favored the White So in the award of Eugene Elsh, outfield star with the SJoux City club, who after being sold to the Pittsburg club for $10,000, was awarded to the White Sox. The decision was based on a contract made between the White Sox and Sioux City, the latter club having represented that first choice of its players had been granted to another club. Sioux City failed to produce proof of this, Commissioner Landis ruled and Elsh was ordered turned over to the White Sox for $2,500 t Nashville, Tenn., has invited . .the minor league's to hold the 1923 convention there.

Two colored prisoners were confined in an army prison. One was doing a sentence of 20 years. "Ah robbed de house of ,de general," he mournfully admitted. "How long you in foh?" "Three days," says the other.. I killed a sergeant." The first man's eyes open. "Huccome dat?" he asks. "Dey somep'n about dig dat ain't right. I robe de Sande's Feats of Among By FRANK G. MESKB They've written the name of Earl Sande into the book of turfdom -which chronicles the immortal deed3 of Tod Sloan, "Snapper" Garrison,- Walter Miller and Isaac Murphy. . t An,d not without reason. For Sande has, performed feats of jockeyship through several seasons that make him not merely the greatest race rider of his day and his generation but one of the greatest of all time. "Whatever I am today," insists Sande, "I really owe to the fact that I -was raised with horses in my boyhood on an Idaho ranch, came to know them, to understand them and they have come to know and understand me. "It shall always be my belief that no matter how great may be a jockey and how great may be his mount, they'll never go far as a winning combination unless there is an almost perfect understanding between them. The man must know the strength and the' weakness of his horse; know how to rate him; know how to handle him to get every ounce of energy out of him. And a horse must have a love for and a faith in the man who rides him or he won't give the best that is in him." Gets First Experience Sande was born in 1899 in Groton, S. D. When he was eight the family moved to a ranch near American Falls. Idaho. And there it was that the youngster, destined to become one of the satellites of American turfdom, got his first riding experience. 'In the. earliest days my great am bition was to be a cowpuncher" related Sande. "The wilder the horse the better I liked it for I figured that was giving me bronco busting experience. Some of the mustangs I straddled in those days were among the toughest of the tough. "Along about the time I was 12 or 13 I began reading about race horse jockeys. Then my ambition shifted. I decided I wanted to be a jockey. I got my-earliest practice racing kids from the neighboring ranches. .It was on those early duals that I began t6 study horses, their powers and their limitations; how to judge srJ&ce, how to nurse 4.heir energy. "It wasn't very long before I became champion among the kid riders on the ranches out near home. And then I began to look forward to the day when I could ride a real race horse." Goes To Meeting. Sande got his chance in 1917 in New Orleans. The kid, then 18, got permission to leave home and set out for the Crestent City where a race meeting was in full swing. "My first job was galloping horses for Joe Goodman," said Sande. "He kept me at it for two months. Then he decided to give me a chance in a real race. He put me aboard a horse named Liberator. With any other jockey but me aboard him that day, Liberator would have won by 20 lengths, with me on board he was lucky to finish second. "But the mistakes I made on that first race were lessons to me. When Goodman gave me a second chance I made good by driving Princess home a rather easy winner." That marked the real beginning of Sande's meteoric career in the saddle. Some months afterward his work had improved to such an extent that the racing combination known as Johnson and Kane bought his contract from Goodman. And not so long after ward J. K. L. Ross, the Canadian multi millionaire paid them a big sum for their contract. Achieves Recognition. Sande's brilliant riding in the Ross colors made fame for himself and a fortune for the Canadian. A marvelous judge of pace, blessed with a splendid pair of hands, instinctive riding skill and superlative gameness, Sande roll ed up an amazing score of victories for Ross and the Ross horses. Then came the break over the Sir Barton-Man O'War match race run In Canada for a $75,000 purse . Sande, who always had ridden Sir Barton for Ross, was slated to pilot the mighty racer in the classic, with the super-horse. But, for some reason still unexplained, Ross substituted Keogh for Sande at the last minute, "I don't know to this day "why he did it," declared Sande, concerning the Ross action. "But I do know that it hurt my pride. And I went- to' Mr. Ross and told him so told- him, too, that I no longer cared to ride for him,Mr. Ross released me from my con tract and I signed up almost immediately afterward with the Rancocas Stable." It's history that while Sande rode Ross horses he led the world on purse winnings; that as soon as Sande left his horses won fewer and fewer races

"Dass right, I killed de sergeant, and I'm only in here for three days. Dey gwine hang me next Saturday." Judge. Indianapolis Omars will .meet the Butler college quintet Saturday night in Tomlinson halL The Omars have a strong line-up consisting of Dos White, former Purdue star, Johnny Hennessey, "Chuck" Carney, Hinkle and Ray Miller. , Jefferson high school basketball team, of Lafayette, has scored a grand total of 210 points in its first four early season games. Mulberry was defeated 54 to 16. The team plays Anderson on the tetter's floor Friday. Their marginal wins will very likely stop this week. Crawfordsville high school defeated Ladoga at Crawfordsville Tuesday night, 42 to 20. The score was doubled most of the time. Teams of the "Y" Sunday School Basketball league -will swing into action Wednesday evening on the association floor. Last Tuesday witnessed the teams in their first games. The night of play was changed to Wednesday, by Sidney C. Peters, physical director of the "Y." Newsboys of the city are to witness the basketball games in the Coliseum Wednesday night free of charge. Jockey ship Greatest in World and now a Ross triumph is a rarity in the turf world . And likewise It's history that since Sande has been riding the Rancocas' wmzzers the Rancocas Stable has been topping turfdom on the matter of yearly winnings. "Any time that Sande goes aboard a horse it makes that horse just 20 pounds better" is the saying in the racing wona. And tacts and ngures pius past performances, prove it. Sande rides best around 113 these days. He has been nicking up a little weight each year for he past two sea sons. He takes excellent care of him self wage3 a constant fight against the advent of that day when he wifl become too heavy to ride. But when it does come, and Sande must pass into the vale of obscurity, he will not go along alone. For there will go with him a fortune, the youngster, rating as not only tne nighest paid jockey of today but one of the highest paid of any era of racing, is reputed to be worth in the neighborhood of $400,000. Which isn't o bad, ?s it, as the result of five years of working by a youngster who now is only 237 (Copyright 1i21 By Kin Feature Syndicate, lac.) PENNSY BOWLERS ON R. AND W, ALLEYS T. N. T.
