TRADE HOBE FOR JOHNSON?
Swap of Third Baseman for Pitcher
 Talked Over in St Louis.

A Providence paper reports a ru- nor from St.Louis that Hobe Ferris, who played star game on third last season for the St Louis Americans, may be traded with Washington for Walter Johnson, the speedy young pitcher, whom many look upon as the coming Christy Mathewson.
 It is a question, after all, if a champion pitcher, like Johnson, promises to be worth more than man like Ferris, reasons a baseball writer. Johnson would probably win ten games for the Browns that they would not win without him. Yet how many. games did Ferris win for the Browns last year? And win them with his bat alone? Surely more than ten.
 Not a doubt that Johnson would bring $15,000 cash in open market of baseball. It was said last year that Charley Murphy of Chicago placed value of s50.000 upon Ma thewson. Johnson is worth two Ma thewsons. He has 10 more years of service in him, and has finer natural qualifications than ever Matty did.
 Valuable as Johnson is. it is doubtful if St Louis would give Ferris for him. This would tend to make Ferris worth S15,000.

PoL0GAMEs
Reported Sale of the Bridgeport Team is Once More Denied
 Standing of Teams.

Bridgeport, Dec 30.-Though nhe Bridgeport polo franchise is once again on a good paying basis the r,i' mors have 1t that the team is to be transferred to some other city. Wa terbury was mentioned of late.
 Yesterday another story came to light that the franchise was to pc sold to Jess Burkett and Kit Brans- field, and the team would be trans ferred to Lawrence, Mass.
 No one seemed to know anything about any transfer to any other city at the rink yesterday. President William E. Smith of the league had heard nothing, while Manager Hanna was in New Haven and could not be reached.
 Manager Hanna stated when he ac- quired the local franchise and sold his New Britain club to the New Bedford syndicate that he would stick to Bridgeport as long as the fans wanted the game, and as the at tendance has been much improved of late 1t is doubtful if he would con slider selling or transferring the team now.
 It developed here last night that there was nothing in the reported sale of the local polo team. The team will be given a thorough trial here, then if it doesn't prove self-sup- porting it will be transferred to either Salem or Lawrence. Manager Hanna, however, will still hold the control of the team.

Nutmeg League Standing,
SUSPENDED MEN BARRED,
Sheppard Gets Afternoon Sprint at Plttsburg-Referee Acts at Night

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec 3O.-The in- door athletic meet held in Exposition rink yesterday and last evening near ly brought about a clash with the Amateur Athletic union. Melvin w. Sheppard and Harry F. Porter. Olympic champions, who were among those barred by the A. A. U. Monday. alleged they had not been notified officially of any suspension. They were en route from New York Mon day evening before the notice of sus- pension came out and wanted to compete. On reaching the Fort Pitt hotel they both refused to receive a communication from anyone.
 Manager Joe Thompson of the meet called to know whether they dared compete and they both answer ed that thew had no official knowI- edge of being suspended and until they were notified officially they would contest. Several messages were waiting at the Fort Pitt hotel for Porter and Sheppard but they did not call for them. Shepard appeared in the afternoon and ran a 220 yard dash against time in seconds.
 In putting the sixteen pound shot Sheridan of the Irish-American A. C. won with A feet ' E inches.
 Sheppard and Porter were barred in the evening by the referee. who received a telegram from the A. A. L. officials stating that the men had been suspended.

DoRANDO COMING MONEY.
Can Return to Italy With q Barrel
 of Coin.

About six weeks ago Dorando Pietri, or Dorando, as he is com- monly called, arrived in the United States, possessing only $10, and q reputation as Marathon runner gained by his race against Hayes, the American, in London. To-day DorandO is one of the foremost fig ures in the world of. sports and his $10 has grown to $7,000, made by running 52 miles and some yards, which he has tucked safely away in a New York bank. He is adding to that sum at the rate of S1,000 a week and will go back to Italy some day wealthy, as wealth goes in the sunny land"
 Dorando has run only 52 miles and several hundred yards to get s7,600. At that rate, when he has run 200 miles he will have about S2S,000. It means that for every minute he is on the track in New York Dorando gets about $23, or $l,oSU an hour. In Italy, as mes senger for baker. he ran Mara thon or two every day. That is how he tgot his start as a long distance runner. In year he made little more. than he makes in Madison Square garden in minute. Such Is fame in America.

WRESTLING
Swanson and Jim Barnes Are to Meet For tue First Time
 in Holyoke

Continual nagging by supporters of Alex Swanson of this city has at last resulted in arrangements for q wrestling match between that ath- lete and Jim Barnes of Springfield. The match is to take place in Monu- ment hall Holyoke, Friday night, and will be to finish, best two falls ill three.
 For some time Barnes has been importuned by HOlyoke and Water bury promoters to go against Swan son, but until recently he was in clined to believe the Waterbury man was not good enough to be an as- pirant for honors as middleweight. Swanson will weigh about 155 pounds, and he showed lot of class in recent matches, holding Wilfred Barrette without a fall on Christ mas day.
 Though Barnes hasn't done any public wrestling lately, he can be counted on to be in first class shape and if Swanson is as good as he is rated by his friends the match be worth seeing. The Springfield man says he doesn't know much about Swanson, but doesn't think there is any reason for fear of de feat on his own part.

Trouble in Hartford,

Hartford, Dec 30.-New Haven won two out of three and the teams are tied again for first place. In the second game Clapp of the Hartford team rolled 279, which is the largest score ever rolled in a match game here. Captain Mckinstry announced that he would protest the games on the ground that New Haven used q ringer. Tom Powell rolled in the last two games for New Haven and his name is not included in the list. of men in the New Haven club. At the beginning of the season each club furnishes list of players and this list cannot be added to. The New Haven players said that Tom Pow els name had been sent to the s3c- retary and it was the latter's mistake that 1t had not been included in the list. James Schlegle, the secretary, IS New Haven man, as is the prnsi- dent, Herbert N, French, who is the anchor on the New Haven team. CaD- tain McKinstry said he didn't care how many officers were New Haven men for he knew he was right and he was going to fight it out. The score:
 Hartford =. S20 1918 SS3-2771 New Haven. 903 S62 9S5-275O
