EXPECTING RUTH'S SALE.
Bostonians Are Prepared to Hear
of Transfer of Dissatisfied
Home-Run King.

BOSTON, December 22-Boston bas
ball fans whose ears are closest to
the ground are prepared to hear any
week that Babe Ruth. champion hitter
of home runs, has been sold to an
other club.
1t is no secret that the Red Sox
management is prepared for a lot of
salary again next year. despite the
fact that last springs controversy
with the player was ended by his
signing three-year contract at $10,-
900 a year.
Ruth has delivered his ultimatum
that much bigger money" must be
forthcoming. The management is pre-
pared to teach Ruth that his contract
is more than a scrap Of paper.
There is plenty of discussion as to
how much Ruth really is worth to the
club in helping it to a pennant. Many
are Of the opinion that he has become
too big for the club. which has led to
many an aggregation's downfall. Con-
sidering that Ruth slammed out twen-
ty-nine home runs, yet the Sox, with
a fine lot of fast players, finished
sixth. his value does not look so big
on paper.
Popular as Babe is with his mates. it
is undisputed that he tried the patience
of the management last season and
that it will not be repeated. Harry
Frazee'S statement last week that he
was willing to trade any man on the
team except Harry Hooper" carried
plenty of significance to those who
know the real situation.
Ruth's present attitude toward
Frazee is one of defiance, one that
calls upon Frazee to come to him. 1t
is very unlikely that the owner will.

YANKEES MAY GET ROTH
Much Travelled Outfelder Likely to
Go to Club on Friendly
Terms With Red Sox.

NEW YORK, December 22.-Bobby
Roth. hard-hitting outfielder Of the
Boston Red SoX. has shifted clubs
quite frequently in the last two years,
but there is IL strong likelihood he
will make still another change before
the season of 1920 begins.
Roth is not entirely satisfied with
his berth on the Red SoX, nor is the
management of the Boston team alto
gether pleased with his work while
on the club.
From Boston comes word that Roth
will go to the New York Yankees.
Miller Higgins has been after Roth
ever since he quit the Cleveland In
dians and went to the Athletics. Hug
gins made several offers for the hard
hitting outfielder but all were turned
down. Roth joined the Mackmen and
soon got tired of doing all the playing
for that lop-sided aggregation. Then
he was shifted to the Red Sox in a big
deal.
Now that the Yankees again are in
the field for Bobby and he is on the
Red Sox, with the owner of which
club the management of the fanks is
on friendly terms. it is highly prob
able Roth will wear New York uni
form next season.

CHAMPIONSHIP FOR REX
Wins Independent Grid Title Of
District and Northern Virginia
by Beating Dreadnaughts.

The independent foot ball champion
ship of the District and northern Vir-
ginia was attained yesterday after
noon by the Rex Athletic Club team
when it defeated the Dreadnaughts
of Alexandria, to 0. The game was
played at Federal Park and attracted
a good sized crowd, weather condi-
tions considered.
Both teams battled fiercely in the
first two periods. first one team and
then the other carrying. the ball
toward its opponents goal. only to
he halted before getting within
scoring distance. The Dreadnaughts
showed a slight advantage over the
Rex at the opening. but apparently
played themselves out in the matter
Of speed, the soft going making 1t
hard to cover ground for any length
of time.
In the third period Rex braced and
pushed the ball through the center
for five yards and then Harris tried
forward pass that failed. Right
back at the same play came Harris:
and this time it went through and
the ball was landed on the Dread
naughts' ls-yard line. Harris then
dropped back to the 20-yard line and.
on a nice placement kick, sent the
ball sailing between the posts Tor
the only tally Of the battle.
In the final period Rex played
strictly defensive game, and by con-
tinued kicking held the Dreadnaughts
at Q safe distance.

ATTRACTIONS
Hammond Will Have Stel-
lar Attractions for Sun
day and Labor Day.

Hammond fans viii have the oppor-
tuuity Of Witnessing two regular bah
games next Sunday and Monday. as
Manager Nagel has booked two stellar
attractions for these ? days, getting
Harry Cohen's Dodger Trainings for
Sunday and the famous Logan Squares
" Labor Day.
The Dodgers have st~rengthened their
lineup with the addition of Left Fielder
Harry Damn. who has just returned
from overseas service. Damn played
his first game last Sunday when he
helped the Dodgers to an ST win over
Jimmy Archer's Albany Parks. with a
double and a home run. Damn will be
remembered as some clouter when he
played here with the old-time Galligans
in h days of Pete Henning.
Aside from Damn there are several
other good men in the Dodgers lineup,
including Cronin at third base, Knyble
shortstop and first baseman Kropp.
Happy Rudolph. former Chicago Uni
versity star. plays centerheld and
Baude, who had a tryout with Ham
mond as an outhelder earlier in the
season. Is putting UP a VIA of a game
at second base. which is his natural po-
sition. According to Manager Harry
Cohen. Baude is the best second base
man that ever played on his club.
Dutch" Heilman. who played on the
Hammond team in 1917, is back at his
old job in right field for the Dodgers.
Elmer Maager. who used to be Pete
Hennlng's rival in the old days. will
do the pitching and Swede Olson will
be on the receiving end. Since his last
appearance IN Hammond. earlier in the
defeating some of the best teams in the
league and right at the present time
his one ambition is to turn IN = win
against the local team. so as to wipe
out his defeat at the start of the year.
That the Dodgers are coming out de-
termined TO cop is evidenced by the
fact that they nave improved their
club with five new men since the occa-
sion OF their last visit TO the Ham
mond park. The new faces will be
seen az shortstop. second and third base
and in left and center field. Harry
Cohen will probably be looking for
some side bets as he feels sure that he
will be able TO take Hammond with his
reconstructed lineup.
On Monday. Labor Day. the Logan
Squares will be the attraction at the
local park and IT is. expected that q
record crowd will be out to see this
team of stars IN action against the
Hammonds. Gibby Nelson will prob
ably do the pitching for the visitors and
Mike Heckinger the receiving. The bal
ance of the team is made up of several
stars. such as center fielder Harley, who
