K0NETCHY A GIANT
Traded for MerkIe, Snodgrass

DEAL NOT YET COMPLETED
Story of Big Deal Told in New York
by One Of the st. Louis
Players.

NEW YORK, October 22.-According te
a member of the ST. Louis Cardinals wht
was In town the other day. Edward
Konetchy, the noted first baseman, al
ready has been sold or traded to the
Giants while Third Baseman Mike Now
rey will be turned over by Manager Hug
gins to the Boston Nationals. The player
who made these statements did not wish
to be known, for obvious reasons, but he
insisted that when certain details had
been arranged between the New York and
St. Louis clubs the engagement OF
Konetchy by Manager McGraw would be
confirmed. The player also expressed the
opinion that Mowreys release to Boston
would pave the way for a new third base
man for the Cardinals, possibly Charley
Herzog of the Giants.
With Konetchey Giant, McGraw could
not use Fred Merkle, so that if the deal
has been agreed upon 1t is certain that
Merkle will figure in it. Higgins. SO the
story is told. opened negotiations with
McGraw for the sale or trading OF

ported to have asked McGra.w for Mer-
kle, Herzog and Snodgrass in an even
trade for Konetchy. Just what sMcGraw
reply was nobody seems to know, but q
week ago Konetchy is said to have told
several players in st. Louis that he would
be drawing salary from the Giants In
1914.
There isn't doubt that Konetchy has
been dissatisfied in st. Louis. He Is toe
great a player to be wasting his efforts
har IF a
Graw never has denied that he would
jump at chance to sign the big first
baseman and it is known that the Giants
manager believes that konetchy would
be a powerful factor in strengthening the
New York team. Last summer the own
ers of the Cardinals announced that they
would trade konetchy or any other men,

strength-another reason for believing

sell Konetchy to the Giants outright,

have been willing to pay the price asked.
But as Higgins wanted PLAYERS there
seems to be little doubt that McGraw
agreed to supply them.
Konetchy is one of the heaviest hit

near the top in fielding He has been a

last season he had some friction with
Higgins, who has been re-engaged as
manager. Should Herzog be included in
the deal Shafer would play third base
regularly for the Giants. but McGraw
would have to find an able substitute for
Snodgrass in the outfield. Blunders by

The track was lumpy and it just suited

could be had on him at the opening. but

test of forty rounds. There was just a
CLEAN of sadness in Bats eyes as he
made his exit from the ring, for In his
heart he realized that he was no longer
the durable Dane that had been able to
make all lightweights back up when he
went after them. The former stamina
was gone but the gameness was there as
strong as ever, and the willingness to
fight as long as he had leg to stand on
was also evident in chunks. The iron
frame of Nelson was there, but not Of
the same strength that served him when
he battled his way to the championship.
Many of the fans present sat and won
dered how on earth the Dane could go
through round after round at the pace
set without hardly breathing hard when
he took his minutes rest in his corner.
He would slug away and at the end of q
round he would be dazed, but after a
moments hesitation would get the old
fighting instinct ana trot Dacn 70 ms

but they knew 1t was forced one. As
the battler kept UP his wonderful work,
Ray Bronson. the Indianapolis welter-
weight title claimant, VINO sat near MS

Gee, it's pity to see poor Bat go
against it that way! How In the world
can he stand the gan? Why. the man
must have an iron constitution and
heart of steel to stand there and battle
the way he does. 1 never knew what
wonderful fighter he was IN the past until
tonight He must have been marvel or

Fans Are Dumfounded.
The above remark was along the same
lines of many more handed out 1t
was a case of the fans simply being
dumfounded at the remarkable powers
demonstrated by the one-time champion
Dane. No wonder he was able to fight
forty rounds at Port Richmond with VOL

Leo Houck, the Lancaster middle

again, and seeks matches with all the
leading boys in his class: Houck
claimed a victory over Dillon last
week in a short round bout, but from
friends who were present I have heard
that Houck could expect nothing bet

had the shade.
With half dozen middleweights
after the title the promoters should
be able to figure out some good
matches.
The claim Of the French promoters
that Georges Carpenter has put In BID

good for the reason that the French boy
cannot make the weight. In his match
with JEFF Smith Of New York the otner
night he weighed over 16o pounos. Sas-

however. when he meets Bombardier
