After a long conference between
Manager John j. McGraW of the
Giants and Branch Hickey of the St.
Louis Cardinals, an important base
ball deal was completed the other
day which may be the foundation of
other transactions Pitcher Ferdi-
nand Schupp. who has been with the
Giants for six years, went to the
Cardinals in exchange for Catcher
Frank Snyder
1t is assumed that as the Giants
now have four catchers-Snyder,
Gonzales, McCarty and Earl Smith
-McGraw intends to make a deal
with some other National league club
for a pitcher According to insiders
the Giants do not want either Pitcher
Frank Woodward or Pitcher Elmer
Jacobs, who were traded to the Car
dinals by the Phillies recently. 1t Is
a we'll known fact that the Phlllles
an dthe Pirates need catehers, so
that it may turn out that McGraw IS
preparing TO dlcker with either or
both of those clubs for pitchers
It is also possible that McGraw is
planning to include Dave Robertson
in some transaction with another Ma
tional league club, presumably the
Chicago Cubs. But the Giants man
ager declines to 20 into details or to
intimate what ne had up his sleeve.
McGraw certainly does not intend to
carry four catchers and it is reason
ably certain ne viii retain McCarty
and Snyder inasmuch rs the latter is
one of the estNbackstops in the Ma
tional league and a powerful bats
man.
The passing of Schupp long has
been expected. He made q wonder
ful record as a lefthander when he
helped the Giants to WIN twenty-six
straight games in 1915 and also when
he was a big factor in pitching the
New York team into the worlds Sc
ries of 1917. Schupp's last winning
game for the Giants was in the last
big clash with the White Sox, whom
ne shut out at the Polo grounds.
Schupp's arm suddenly became use

however. has insisted that if he can

control of the ball This control has
been impossible for him to obtain
because Of the infreQuert times he
has started in regular games.
Zeb Terry. who patrols the terri
tory between second and third base
IN the Pirate infeld is playing a
steady game for Manager Hugo
Bezdek. and his work is potent
factor IN the defensive play of the
can from the Smoky City. Terry
last season wore q Brave uniform
but he did not get into the box scores
very often. He took part in only
twenty-seven games, and at the end
of the season was credited with a
fielding average Of .977, having &C
cepted III chances out of q possible
It's. Wearing q Pittsburg uniform
this season, he did not have a chance
to break into the game until q few
weeks after the race started, wlfer
Buster Cation, the sensational midget
was forced out of the Pirates bat
ting order owing to illness.
Bezdek replaced the midget with
Terry. and he covered the post SO
well that when Buster was able to
return TO the game Bezdek refused
to bench the former Brave, and Ca
ton was given a seat on the Pirates
bench. Since he started playing
regularly Terry has proved himself
to be a fielder of high class, and al
though he is rot classed as a slug
ger he has come through with many
timely safe hits.

Associated Charities Workers
Report Generous Response
to Call for Annual AoIi-

A remarkable willingness to give
to charity has been experienced by
Associated Charities workers who
are busily engaged in raising enough
money to insure happy Christmas
for Omaha's poor, according to
Frank w. Judson.
Although the Associated Charities
is making no spectacular drive for
funds, there is more need for assist
ance among the poor at this time
of year than at any other time, MIR.
Judson says.
Experience has taught us that
there is more need among the poor
during prosperous times than at any
other time" said Mr.. Judson.
There is no overhead expense con-
nected with the work of the Asso-
ciated Charities. The workers OF the
Associated Charities are all well
trained and experienced in the work.
They assist the individual and FAM
lily to become self-supporting, and
not to become permanent charity
cases"
/. Contributions of fuel, food and
clothing are gladly accepted in lieu
of cash, Mr.. Judson said.
The disbursements of the Asso-
ciated Charities during 1919 totaled
$4,000, according to report made
yesterday. From $4,000 to $4,000
will be needed from now until Sep
tember 80. next year, it is estimated.

arose from across the sizzling frying
