GIANTS FIGURED
IN MOST TRADES

The present baseball season, re-
markable for its many changes and
happenings, not the least being the
wonderful playing of Cincinnati,
has had as one of its features more
trading of players than any prev
ious year in the history of the
game.
John McGraw of New York, quite
naturally leads in the changes. He
started his picking April %. On
that date he picked up Jean Dubuc,
who had received his unconditional
release from the Red Sox, and the
following day he claimed Lee King
from the Pirates. Then he released
Bob" Steele to Indianapolis, and
Eddie Sticking, his young shOrtstop,
to the Phillies.
Pat Ragan was released by the
Boston Braves and claimed by New
York, but Muggsy reciprocated by
sending Jim Thorpe to Boston
Raglan was later released outright
and taken on by the Chicago
White Sox.
Mike Gonzales was purchased
outright from the Cardinals and

The biggest deal McGraw made
was to send Cecil Causey, Oeschger

change for Arthur Nehf. Later
McGraw sent Dayey Robertson, his
outfieIder. who refused 20
report to the Chicago Cubs for
Pitcher Douglas.
George Stallings, too. has been
quite active in shaking up his club.

BECKETT BOUT
Huge Crowd in London Arena Is
Disappointed When FaVOrite
Fails to Score Sooner.

London. Sept. 3.-Joe Beckett,
the British heavyweight champion,
knocked out Eddie McGoorty of
Oshkosh. Wis, in the seventeenth
round of their scheduled 20 round
bout at the Olympia last night. 1t
was one of the greatest fights ever
staged in England and the victory
of Beckett, while stamping him as
a great heavyweight, was rather
disappointing in that it took him
so many rounds to win.
Fred Fulton, the Rochester,
Mimi, heavyweight, appeared in
the semi-windup to the Beckett
McGoOrty bout and made an i'm
pressive start in England by knock
ing OUT Arthur Townley in one

Draws Big Crowd.
The battle between Beckett and
McGoorty was an attraction that
drew an immense throng to the
Olympia The British champion,
with the advantage of weight and
his string of victorious bouts which
won him the title, naturally was
boxer. However, McGoorty's win
ming streak displayed in England
in the later days of the war and
since the signing of the armistice,
gained him many followers, many
of these believing that Eddie, with
his cleverness, would be able to
outpoint the BritiSher. There were
some who thought that the Osh-
kosh boxer might be able to upset
Beckett for the count with left
hook. his best punch.
Beckett won because he was TOO
powerful for the American. He
was able to assimilate McGoorty's
hardest punches. and it was neces-
sary for Eddie to pay far greater
attention to defensive milling than
his opponent, for Beckett's blows
carried knockout force behind
them

PROPOSE WORLDS
SERIES OF NINE
GAMES THIS FALL

Chicago, Sept. 8. = A worlds
series of nine games instead of the
customary seven was proposed
yesterday by members of the Ma
tional commission, which held a
session here. Because of the I'M
precedented demand for seats for
the big series this fall, the COM
mission recommended that the
series be extended in length in or
der to give the public a better
chance to attend.
Chairman Hermann of the body
explained that the recommended
ton was made for no other reason
than to benefit the public by fur
nishing a greater number of
chances to see a game. Hermann,
who also is president of the Gin
cinnati Reds, now well out in
front in the National league race.
stated that already there have been
30, 500 requests for seats, all of
them coming from people outside
of Cincinnati. His park cannot ac-
Commodate that many alone, and
he said there are 100000 persons
in Cincinnati who desire to attend.
Inc proposal was sent out last
night to the club owners of each
major league for ratification and of
course will not be adopted unless
a majority of the owners in each
league vote in favor OF it. They
are expected to vote by mail i'm
mediately, so the plan may be
adopted or rejected within few
days.
1t is the plan in the recommen-
dation for the players of the con-
testing teams to share in the re-
ceipts of the first five games, in
stead of only four as in the past
Also the series will end when one
team has won five games.
