MANY TRADES IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE

CHICAGO, November Lively times
are expected at the American League meet
Ing in this city in December. Today around
headquarters of both leagues the air was
full of runors of trades and 1t Is predicted
the December meeting will be the occasion
for many important swaps
The Boston American League club Is
said to be hot after Jake" Stahl, manager
of the Washington team the past two
years. Jake Is wanted in Boston to play
first base. Connie Mack is just as anxious
to get Jimmy Collins. ex-manager Of
Boston, to hold down the third base. De-
tro.t will doubtless bid against Boston for
a first baseman and St Louis wi l be hust-
ling for a man to fill that teams weak

of the Clevelands going to Detroit
for Mcintyre. Both are star outhelders
and great batsmen. The reason for the
is said to be dissatisfied on the team he
is now with.

trade or two will have to be made to
reduce the size OF the White Sox squad.
We have many players that not all Of
them can get as many chances to play as
they would like. The youngsters don't
like the idea Of warming the bench, as that
doesn't give them an opportunity to ad-
vance in the profession. have five catch
ers. Well, Of course, that's too many.
Those boys like to play bali, and in justice
to them one OF two will be given a chance
to get on a team that could work them
steadily"
President Murphy of the Cubs made
strenuous denial during the day of the re-
port that he had offered to trade Quite d.
ers Slagie and Holman and Pitcher Reul-
bach for Rightfielder Lumley Of the Brook
lyn team. II wouldn't trade Holman even
up for Lumley," said Mr.. Murphy. Last
winter I was after Lumley and made
Brooklyn a great offer for the player but
that doesn't go now. I never dreamed of
giving the three players mentioned for
Lumley. Lumey is a splendid player. but
no better than my own men. Manager
Chance thinks Holman is one of the most
valuable players ever on any team and
agree with him. Slagle is one Of the most
scientific run getters in the business and
winner every time. and as for Reulbach.

averages will show that he has the high

them be let go? The story is absolutely
without foundation

According to Information from Chicago,
Manager McCloskey of the Cardinals Is

They are certainly handing some hot
ones to Manager Duffy from Philadelphia.
Here IL an offering from Editor Frank
Richter Of the Sporting Life: Duffy u
quoted as saying that the Phillies cannot
be strengthened unless the club owners
loosen their purse strings. The less Duffy
says on this point the better, in view of his
princely treatment by the Philadelphia club.
Money was never lacking for anybody Duffy
recommendations he never recommended
anything but played-out veterans, for whom
money would have been thrown away.
Duffy had three years of carte blanche with
the Phiilies. When he retired there was
not man left whom he placed on the
team. That tells It's own story

turned to that city after visit to Homo

Chinese. Japanese. Hawaiians, Portuguese,
Americans and other nations. and the rival

Japs pick up the tricks of the game very
rapidly and there are several good BAH

to learn, but they are willing, and in the

The play at times resembled a regularly

busy combining the attention of the men
to the details of each play. rather than to

FOR THE FIRST TIME
JUSTICE GOULD CONSTRUCTS SEC
TON 1870 OF THE CODE.

In connection with the equity suit of Fred
erick vogelsans against Thomas F. America
and others. Justice Gould Of the District SUI
preme Court has signed an order overruling
the demurrer filed by the defendants to the
compliments bill OF complaint and giving
the defendants leave to file an answer in the
case within fifteen days. Justice Gould has
filed a written opinion setting forth his
views Of the questions of law raised.
The principal question presented for the
courts decision was whether the complain
ant belonged to the class Of persons intend
ed to be protected by the provisions of sec
ton 1120 Of the District code, relative to
fraudulent conveyances. The section pro-
vides that every conveyance of property
made with the intent To hinder delay or
defraud creditors or other persons having
just claims or demands of their lawful suits,
damages or demands shall be void as
defrauded"
The complainant had a cause of action
against the defendant America on which he
secured judgment for damages in the
Circuit Court. Before the Judgment was
rendered America disposed of all OF his
property.
Asked Sale Of Property.
Immediately upon securing the Judgment
at law the complainant filed a bill in equity
asking the court to declare the conveyance
of Americas property to be null and void
and requesting that the property be sold un-
der the direction Of the court and the pro-
ceeds Of the sale applied to the payment
Of the judgment
Justice Gould. constituting section 1120 of
the code for the first time, holds that the
complainant does belong to the class of
persons whom the statute was designed to
protect. In other words. that at the date
of the sale Of Americas property Vogel-
sang was a creditor or other person hav-
ing just claims or demands Of their lawful
SUITS damages or demands" notwithstand-
ing the fact that his claim against America
for damages for the tort committed against
him had not at that time been converted
into judgment.
Justice Gould says that the provisions Of
the code in question should be literally con-
strued. The court refers to large number
of adjudicated cases bearing on the question
involved, and declares, in conclusion, that
"the overwhelming weight Of authority,
both in this country and In England, Is
against the contention OF the defendant and
in favor of admitting to the protection Of
statutes against fraudulent conveyances
those whose cause Of action arises ex
delicto,"

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LAUREL, Md. November Z, 1906
The Laurel High School foot ball team
administered a crushing defeat to the
Warwick Athletic Cub of Washington yes
terday by the score of 80 to o.
The visitors were clearly outplayed in
every point OF the game and they found it
impossible to check the heavy rushes of the
home team. Brown of the High School
was easily the star OF the game, making
several fine tackles, scoring two touch
downs and kicking one goal. The playing
of Timanus and Phair was also very good,
while the playing Of James and Maurice
for the visitors was also good. The visi-
tors put up a much better game in the
second half by allowing only one touch
down. although 1t was impossible for them
to get anywhere near their goal. The
