MEMS WEDDING RINGS.

IT. HE Brooklyn Eagle, which reports
Il most things accurately and well
published the news that in its city
the use of wedding rings for men il
gaining rapidly in popularity.
This is interesting and important II
1t means that men are coming to take
the marriage ceremony and its VOWS
more seriously and that the divorce
rate is as consequence TO cease in
its upward trend.
The wedding ring is a relic of saw
agery. II is probably descendant of
the metal bracelet and chain by which
| the earlier tribes of men assured them
selves that their spouses would not
wander away from the house dOmicile
while the master of the house was
away hunting.
Some more engaging wife, having
convinced her husband of unquestion-
able fidelity, was rewarded oy having
the bracelet replaced by the ring and
the chain done away with altogether.
The ring by itself showed that she
was married The absence of the
chain said, Here is an exceptionally
fine wife" That hattered and pleased
both parties.
But If the modern woman is ex-
pected to wear a wedding ring and
advertise her married position, what
good reason Is there why the husband
should not be marked in an. equally I
prominent manner and his limitations
of freedom equally advertised?
An old custom of the marriage cere-
mony consisted of putting the wedding
ring first on the thumb, then on the
first finger, then on the second. speak
Ing the names of the Trinity as the
ceremony proceeded, and, finally when
it rested on the third finger, It was
supposed to signify that next /, her
duties to God the wife recognized her
duties to her husband
OF course, it ought not to require a
ring or any other form of emblem to
make man or a woman hold sacred
the VOWS of the altar. If a thin band
Of gold or platinum is all that re-
strains either one of them from wan
1ering, then the divorce court is not
Tery far away /
To most women the wedding ring [
S very sacred thing. 1t is the last T
hing that goes to the pawnshop when
diversity demands its toll. Just how [
much it means to the men, who In
accordance with the new custom will !
wear it, is a question that only a test
will settle.
The question of divorce IN this coun.
ry is fast getting to be of such dimen- Z
ions as to demand serious corrective b

MAJOR LEAGUE MANAGERS
 EAGER TO MAKE TRADES

reserve lists of the big minor league cltIbs who would look well in major league uniforms.
 Veteran major league players who are said to be listed as trading mate rial are:
 Rube Marquard late Of Brooklyn now with the Reds.
 Fppa RiXey of the Phillies.
 Max Carey e Pittsburgh
 DOde Paskert Fred N(rk1e and Charley Herzog of the Cuhf
 Rabbit Maranvil1e of the Braves.
 Mike. Gonzales of the Giants.
 BobnF Veach of Detroit.
 Wal7fe Pipp of the Yankees
 Maranville is in demand. Brook lyn, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh all want him. So does New York. And according to the wise ones, the Giants have the inside track. Should New York land Maranville it is possible that Davey Bancroft will be used in a trade for some other players. Incl dentally there may be several deals in which three or more clubs will figure.
 Manager Gibson of the Pirates has several deals in the making and is expected to announce them during the Chicago meeting.

Federals To Play
 Crashoes Sunday
 For League Lead

When the Crashoes and Federals clash in a regular City league polo game at the Casino Sunday afternoon it should be hot battle between them because both teams have not tasted defeat sof ar this season and the real leaders of the league will be decided. Bowser, who has been tending goal for the Federals, has been given his unconditional release by Manager Hickey and the Federals will have a new goal tender on Sun day.
 Last night the Rosebuds won their first game in the City league race, defeating the Bengals, ' to 2. Tim mins, first rush of the Rosebuds, was the big scorer of the night with four to his credit, but he playing the wait ing game at the cage and not not get into the scrimna ges very much. He waited in front of the Bengal goal most of the time and when he ob- tained a shot it was usually a straight away one. He had some misses to be sure, but most of his opportuni- ties were made good.
 The Bengals, the best otftted team in the City league, were unable to get going very fast. Robinson, sec ond rush of the Bengals, made both goals for the losers. Barnes and Gabor, goal tenders, were kept busy at times. Tinmins beat White to the spot, ' to 5.

New York, Jan. 7.-Veteran play CTS led the felders in five positions during the 1920 season. according to averages, made public today.
 Morris Rath, who came back to the big show in 1919, just in time to cut a worlds series melon with the Cincinnati Reds, headed the second centage of. .977. Rogers Hornsby made the most putouts, 343, and also topped all others in assists with 524. while his total number of chances. 9O1, shows that Roger was a busy lac around second base. Rath's work, however, was dependable and cons1s- tent, if not hashy. and speaks well for a veteran who, once with the White SoX, had drifted into the min Ors only to be resurrected and help win a National Lea que championship.
 Charley Deal, who was a member of the Braves back in 1914, but who has been playing the hot corner for the Cubs of late, topped the third seekers of the old league with .973. Norman -Boeckel. of Boston, made the most putouts-219-and had the greatest number of chances, taking part in SIS plays. Since joining the Cubs, Deals playing has improved and the figures speak for themselves However, it is probable that players like Deal and Rath, methodical and
 consistent, stand where they do be.

New York, Jan. With nearly every major league manager eager to dicker for new players, trading is likely to be brisk during the big base ball meeting in Chicago next week.
 There are number of players in both big leagues slated for the mar ket. Some of them will go under the hammer because they do not fit in with the plans of new managers. Others will be traded or sold because they must step aside to make way for younger and more spirited talent.
 Ty Ccbb, new pilot of the Tigers, Fred Mitchell of the Braves, Bill Donovan of the Phillies, Lee Fohl of the Browns, Hugh Duffy of the Red Sox and John Evers of the Cubs will do some revamping in the personnel of their teams. Evers and Mitchell, in particular, hope to rebuild the Cubs and Braves in due course of time. And this means trade, sales and purchases.
 The trade-hungry managers will not confine their activities to the ma 1ors, either. There are a number of players now under contract or on the

Hartford Attempts

By giving Catcher Smith a bonus of $500 to sign a Hartford contract and an increase of $25 month over what he had signed for with Bridge DOT, Grandad Irwin, the new mana ger of the Hartford club did his best to pick up the catcher signed by Gene McCann, but the latter had Smiths contract promulgated through throuhg the office of Secretary John H. Farrell in Auburn. N. Y, and now the Hartford club is looking for it's $500 from the Bridgeport club.
 The claim was made at the annual meeting of the league moguls at Springfield and some of the club owners were puzzled over the meth ods employed by the Hartford club. Some of the owners believed Hart ford had made an attempt to get Smiths contract through the secre- tary's office before Bridgeport could

 When Hartford put in it's claim for the $500 advanced to Smith, the Bridgeport officials were surprised Smiths explanation was that his wife was sick and he needed the money. but was ignorant of doing anything wrong. However, the Bridgeport club has promised to pay Hartford the money when the player has earned that amount of cash next summer, but until then there will be mop ay- ment.
