BOSTON RED SOX
 SECURE M'INNIS
Last of Famous Athletics Inheld
 SWapped by Connie Mack

Philadelphia. Jan. 11.-John Stuff fy' McInns first baseman, and the last of Connie Macl<'s famous worlds champions, goes to the Boston Americans in a trade for players. The names of the players and how many will come to Philadelphia Sn the trade was not announced.
 Word that McInnis was to go to the Red SoX was received in a tele- gram from Connie Mack, who is at Jacksonville, Fla, arranging for the spring training trip. No one in au- thority at club headquarters here has any information as to the details of the trade. It was said that Mack will pick the players he wants later, and that the number will depend upon the men he selects.
 Before leaving for the south Mack said that Mc1nnis and other players would have to stand a reduction in salary if kept by the Athletics. Local baseball experts were sceptical as to tho Athletics getting any players of ability for McInnis for the reason that it is known the Boston Red Sox man. agement is in the market for all the star players obtainable and therefore would hardly release any good men in q trade.
 The additional fact that the Red Sox paid cash to Mack for Schang. Flush and Strunk, is regarded as evi- dencc supporting the belief that Me Innis was purchased with dollars and not players.
 In some quarters the opinion is ex- pressed that McInnis was included.in in the original deal with the SOx and that Mack decided it advisable to withhold the first sacker's name until Q later date.
 'Stuffy" McInnis has been star on the Athletics team almost from the day he arrived in 1909. He was 27 years old last September. A
 Prior to coming to the Philadel- phia Americans he played with the New Bedford and Haverhill teams. McInnis succeeded Capt. Harry Davis as first baseman and at once fitted in with Macks star infeld, the others being Eddie Collins, Jack Barry and Frank Baker. 8
 In his first year with the team he batted 239 and in every succeeding season, ,1 with the exception of 1ad6, when his average was .2S5, he hit for more than 300.

One of the greatest screen novel ties of the decade is going to leave the Auditorium theatre after today. All For a Husband" has had big run, and the crowds which have attended every showing have tempted the manage ment to retain the feature.
 Mad women, scheming sisters, and political intrigue figure prominently n the story, which reaches a point Of continuation where one can scarcely tell who is sane and who is lunatic.

 This time he appears as a most low able, rolicking young Irish. lad in love with a pretty Irish girl. Never has Dustin seemed so likeable. It is a screen story that draws with an un- usual charm and fascination.
