Those magnates Of organized base
ball who returned yesterday from Gin

ton. of the Yankees: Harry y. Hemp

Ebbets, Of the Dodgers. were of the
opinion that the announcement Of the
sale of Pitcher Earl Moseley to the
Reds was somewhat premature
Il do not believe any sale has been
concluded" said Captain Huston, or
that one will be consummated until
after the commission meeting" The
captain intimated that a gentleman's
agreement existed which bound the
powers of the major leagues to exer-
else patience until that time.
Captain Huston is very hopeful OF
obtaining the services of Lee Magee,
former manager and star second base
man Of the Brooklyn Tip-Tops.

will get Magee," said the captain
Certainly we shall land him IL those

tect The other fourteen clubs OF the
two major leagues have agreed not

ular player"
Captain Huston said further that bis
trip to Cincinnati proved most sue
cessful, as nearly as could be judged
at this time. He has every reason to
believe that the Yankees will obtain,
not only Magee. but several other
stars as well. from the material
thrown on the market through the
collapse of the outlaw circuit He
did not wish to discuss the names OF

President Hampstead, of the Giants,
declared there was absolutely no

TOUCHDOWN THROUGH ERROR.

When Minnesota scored against
Illinois few weeks ago and thus
managed to wind up in a tie for the
conference football title. il was a
hitherto unknown halfback who
crossed the line for a touchdown,
Bierman. the Gopher captain. had been
laid up with an injured side and at the
last moment Coach Williams decided
TO give Sprafka chance. This youth
had broken all strength tests at Min
nesota. and had shown some ability
as "a scrub end. But Williams be-
lieyed he had the goods as a half
back So while the Minnesota team
was riding down to Grbana that Sat
urday morning, Williams took Spraf-
ka aside and coached him mp on the
signals In other words. all Sprafka
knew about his position was what he
learned on the train the morning OF
the game That afternoon he APP
pesred on the field. and everybody
was asking who he was.
Sprafka made some brilliant slides
off tackle and. during the early part
of the game, surprised even his own
mates by his splendid work. Finally.
when Minnesota advanced to the Illi-
nois twenty -eight-yard line. Quarter
back Long, of the Gophers, called out
a signal, and the visitors made two
rapid shifts. Judging from appear
ances, some sort of a play was to be
shot at Illinois right wing
This was the case. Minnesotas back
field hinged off the Illinois right
tackle. Everybody piled up there with
a single exception. This was MIR.
Sprafka, who was charging around
Illinois left end with the ball under
his arm. Sprafkas long legs were
working like pistons, and as the tackl-
ers got after him he simply beat them
down. or lodged them with awkward
strides. Finally only Clark stood in
his path. Sprafka literally ran over
him and scored the touchdown. ILL.,
nois counted later. and the game end
ed. to 8.
Two weeks later several men were
interviewing Assistant Coach Sig Har
ris, of the Gophers Sprafka's name
came up and Harris agreed that he
was find and a conner.
But wasn't [. Il If his at lii
nois a peach" said one.
Yes exclaimed another. but
wasn't it funny he went around left
end alone?'
Then it was that Harris admitted
Sprafka had mistaken the signal In
stead of going with his interference
he had cut out the other way and, by
his mistake, had given Minnesota q
clean record and an equal claim to the
big nine title.
