the cup game of a week ago. the Todd
Shipyards soccer eleven defeated the
New York Football Club by the score OF
2 goals to / in n championship game of
the American Soccer League at Todd
Field in South Brooklyn yesterday af-
ternoon. Neither side scored in the first
half, IN which New York did most of the
pressing, and the home team owed much
70 the fine work of Renzulli, it's goal
keeper. The victory enabled the ma

delphia, with whom they had played a
TO / tie in Philadelphia on Saturday.
New York. playing against the wind
in the second half. was first to score
as the result of penalty given against
Whitehead five minutes after the re-

Baseball Trades Failed
Through Inflated Values
Here's One Question
Lands Won't Answer

TN a discussion about the draft

l. players Judge Landis was
asked the other day, Would you

sional baseball?'
Hold on, there--that's one ques-

exclaimed. with upraised hands. II
beg to be excused from telling any
young man what to do when he Sc
lects his profession or trade. That's

1t seems that many college players
have written to Judge Landis for his
opinion of professional baseball as a
profession-and he always declines
to commit himself. He's a wise

High Prices Paid for Minors
Sent the Market
Crazy.
BY DANIEL.

When major and minor league base
ball men began to gather here just a
week ago the outlook was for the
briskest sort of trading. The suspen-
sion of Ruth and Meusel forced the
Yankees to go into the market in quest
of at least one new outflelder. The
Giants were willing to acquire another
centerfielder, the Dodgers made known
the fact that they were out to land
a catcher and an infielder. the Tigers
served notice that they had determined
to eorganize-nearly every big league
club was ready to do business, and the
air hummed with reports.
But this morning we find that the
week developed just one announcement
of deal which sent player from one
major league club to another. Chick
Shorten was sold by the Tigers to the
Browns. In the matter of trades the
series of meetings here was the biggest
disappointment on record. And for
this there is an excellent reason.
The lack of action may be traced to
the fact that the player market was
thrown out of kilter by the series Of
sensational sales made by Pacific Coast
League teams to clubs in the big cir
cults. All old senses of values were
overthrow and the entire situation
was knocked out of balance.
Wooxy From High Prices.
Finding that the Giants really had
paid $4,000 in actual cash for Jimmy
OConnell, that the Reds had given
$4,000 in real money and four players
for Caveney, the San Francisco short
STOP that $40, 900 had been paid by the
hitherto tight Detroit club for couple
of Portland pitchers, one of whom was
reported to be suffering with water on
the knee, major and minor league lead
ers were hurled into state of woozinesS
and began to suffer from financial brain
storms.
"If a man like O'Conneli, who has
been in minor league baseball only two
years, is worth $4,000 what is Boz
Veach, a proven $50 hitter and ball
hawk worth in the open marlSet?"
uueried the astute Tyrus Cobb when We
discussed his three cornered deal with
the Yankees and the Red Sox with him
IF Caveney is worth $500 in players
and money what is Scott WORTH came
return query from Hughey Duffy
leader of the Red Sox, in a discussion
OF the Tigers offer for his shortstop.
And so 1t went all along the line
Jack Dunn, knowing that $4,000 had
