! Ty is hot after Mitchell, we may see
some business between the Yankees and
the Tigers.
If the Tigers do nothing with the
Yanks they are most likely to trade
with the Athletics Joe Dugan is on
the market, and Cobb could use Joe
very nicely. Doc Johnston, the Cleve-
land first baseman. is another player
who has been mentioned as being due
for a change of scene.
Branch Hickey of the Cardinals is
here with a strong desire TO trade Mil
ton Stock, and several clubs are
after him, among them Brooklyn, Pitts
burgh and Chicago. Hickey wants an
other third baseman and catcher
Clemons is fair, but Dilhoefer does not
shape up as a major league backstop.
hickey had an idea that he could do
something with the Reds, but now that
Heinie Groh is a Giant the leader OF the
Cardinals will have to talk with some Oh
the others. Stocks salary demands may
play big role in any negotiations whicn
Hickey may put under way. With Rog-
ers Hornsby demanding three year
contract at $4,000 a season it is likely
that Branch wishes that he had gone
through with deal he made two years
ago with the Giants.
May Trade Maranvftie.
Barney Dreyfuss is reported to be
ready to take over Stock and to be ready
to go high for the third basenan. Barn
hart did not live up to expectations
when the race got white hot last Sep
tember. 1t may be that Barney VIII
give up Maranville, who was not IN
the good graces of the owner late last
season.
George Gibson has very promising
shortstop in Pie Traynor. recalled from
birmingham last September. and may
decide to start with the Southern
Lacquer in place OF the Rabbit II he can
obtain a third baseman of the class OF
Stock. Pittsburgh seems to have more
trading material than any other ciup
in the league.
The Cubs are in need of quite Few
PLAYERS. They want a third baseman TO
take Deals place. They also seek a
second paseman for Terry's job. Bill
Killefer does not think that Zeb is fast
enough The Cubs went as high as
$50, 900 and some players in their ofrers
for Groh. but they never had chance.
There isn't a Cub with the exception
of Hollocher-and that includes Alex
ander-who would not be traded II
Killefer could gain strength for his
outfit thereby.
In the American League everybody
seems 70 be wanting somebody or other.
Washington needs a third baseman and
a few clubs need shortstops. Joe Schep-
ner the Louisville third baseman, VINO
once was a Giant, has been placed on
the market and may be sold this week.
He is quoted at $4,000.

No Joke Now for George.

The trading OF George Burns to the
Reds brings to mind an incident which
occurred at the dinner given by the
owners of the Giants to the players
after the world series in October. Pat
Moran, manager OF the Reds. was
among the guests.
Burns walked up to Pat and. slapping
him on the back, laughed, Want a
good centre fielder. Pat?" Burns took
it as joke and Pat laughed heartily.
But perhaps that remark made Moran
think. and made Burns a Red.

Ebbets Would Trade, but
Doesn't Want Gonzales
Brooklyn Owner Indicates That He Would Let Wheat
Go-Ready to Swap All Dodgers
Except Two or Three.
By DANIEL.

with two or three exceptions we
would trade any player on the Brook
iyn club" said Charley Ebbets yes
terday in reply to a query as TO
whether he had entered into negotia-
tions with Cincinnati looking to the
exchange of Zack Wheat, the star left
fielder, for a catcher. II know that
we need a catcher, but primarily we
are after an infelder," Ebbets con-
tinued "And let me say that we are
not considering any deal involving
Mike Gonzales. He is not the type of
backstop we want.
Garry Hermann and I had quite
a conference at Buffalo and he
broached deal for Wheat. He said
something about Gonzales, but l would
not listen to any such proposition. If
we give up a player like Wheat we
will have to get at least as much as
we give. AS for Gonzales, without
disparaging his catching ability, will
say that in so far as the Brooklyn club
is concerned he is not worth the
waiver price"
How about Ivy Wingo?" we asked.
would you talk trade for Wheat if
Hermann wanted to let you have his
first string catcher?"
"Well that's another story" laughed
the Squire of Flatbush," and it's Wingo
the Dodgers no doubt want. But it is a
question if the Reds could afford to give
up the backstop to plug up that hole in
right field made by the release of Earl
Neale, who will not return to the Reds
It's Up TO Robinson.
you know that can talk trade, but
when it comes to doing the actual trad
ing Wilbert Robinson is the boss" En-
bets resumed. I'VE are out to do consid-
cradle strengthening. and / expect that
there will be quite a little doing with Us
MS soon as Robbie comes up from Balti-
more tomorrow"
What do you thinS of Judge Landis's
Recommendation that the world series be
reduced to seven games ?" we asked.
81 am opposed to the change, AMI [
do not think that it has a chance to be
adopted" he came back quickly. Let
It be understood that am considering
this question from a sporting standpoint
I am not making the revenue issue para
mount. No doubt, il we decline to re-
duce the limit. there will be some talk
about the gate first
But l think that a seven game series
best four out of seven--is not n real
test and that it makes possible tri-
umph by a single pitcher. Nine games
make a better sporting proposition"
Everybody whom we have queried on
that subject, with one exception, was op-
posed TO the Judges proposal. The ex-
ception is Col Houston. who declared
that he had not yet made UP his mind.
But he appeared to veer against
change.

1t looks like the biggest baseball week
New York yet has had. There was quite
a bit of trading and selling UP in Buffalo
last week, but from what we have heard
the next five days here will put the But-
falo doings in the shade.
John McGraw would not be averse
TO acquiring another outfielder to take
the place of George Burns. Mac will
have Cunningham, who came here from
Seattle last season: SINNERS. a new
conner from indianapolis who cost the
club more than s25. 900; Ed Brown and
Spencer. who has been recalled from
Toronto. Cunningham looks like the
best bet. but there may be an expert
enced centre fielder on the roster before
the week is out.
Yanks Seek Action.

other first class outfielder and another

STORY AND PLAY
HOUR FOR k|DOIES
THIS AF TER N0ON

The second of the story and play
hours for children up to ten years of
age to be conducted by the Palatka
Community Service will be held this
afternoon on the city hall grounds.
at 4:30. Mrs. Fred 7. Merrill is in
charge this afternoon. All of the
children of the city are invited to
come, and the mothers are invited to
come and see just what kind of play
is being developed for the little folk.
The object of this work is to devel-
OPP at the right time the instincts and
characteristics that appear in every
child's life. From foor to six years
of age there is great deal of physi-
cal activity, active imagination, Gu
riosity and questioning, guessing,
interest and many other. The play is
with other children but there is little
cooperation. Between the ages of
seven and nine there is a transition
with a tendency to heart weakness
and fatigue Some skill and compe-
tition appear in the play but it is rath-
err individualistic rather than cooper
ative. There is interest in swimming,
climbing. The dramatic interest is
strong and they initiate nearly every
occupation. Games of hunting, chas-
ing, throwing are Of especial interest
and are adopted to the peculiar needs
at this time; they introduce competi-
ton, require skill, and in develop
ment of coordination of muscular ac-
ton, with sense of judgment. The
play with other children is increas-
ing.
To fill this need with the children
of this age in the city there has been
conducted class to train local lead
ers in games for this kind of recrea-
ton for them. AS a result of this
class twelve ladies have volunteed to
carry on this work under the follow
ing program: Every Thursday after
noon at 4:3O there will be story tell
telling in each of three neighbor-
hoods. The one for the children of
the west end will be held on vacant
lot on Dodge street across from Mrs.
Walter Tilghman, Mrs. John Camp
bell, Mrs. T. E.. Mobley, Mrs. Geo.
Lansing. This district includes all
the city south of Lemon street
The north side will include all the
city north of Lemon street. The
meeting place for this district will be
the yard Of Mrs. Fred Merrill, 400 N.
Fourth street.
All the children living nthe Bun
galow Park district are invited to
meet at the home of Mrs. Howard
Gardner, 316 S. Ninth street.
The story hour for Saturday will
continue each week and is for all the
children of the city each week.
