NEW YORK STILL HOPES
TO LAND VEACH IN DEAL.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER

NEW YORK, December 21.-Col. ia
cob Rupert of the New York Amer
lean League club announced today
that the Yankees had not abandoned
their intention of trying to make a
deal with Detroit by which they would
get Veach. the hard-hitting outfielder
of that team. who is known to be on
the market for trade.
THE fact that we have taken over
Scott, Bush and Jones from Boston,.
said he, "is only completing part of
the program by whiCh we intended
from the finish of last season to add
wnat strength we could to the Yam
KEGS for 1922. as we are anxious to
repeat our championship and play
again with the Giants. If they win in
the National League. l am not pre-
pared to say what we may give to get
Eeach but we have players who will
be desira BILE for Detroit
One of these players unquestiOn-
ably is Mitchell. the California short
and did not get into a championship
game.
The elimination Of Peckinpaugh
from the Yankees will be matter of
satisfaction to Higgins. because
Peckinpaugh is taken to be the play
er who headed whatever opposition
the manager may have had in his
plans last season. 1t was Peckin-
paugh who was constantly being
named as the player who was at the
head of the anti-Huggins faction.

HARRIS STILL INELIGIBLE,
BUT MAY Be RE|NSTATED

CLEVELAND, December II. Joe
Harris. who is included in the Cleve-
land-Boston player deal. Is on the in
eligible list, and whether he goes to
Boston is conditional upon his being
reinstated by Commissioner Lands.
If Harris is not reinstated it is under
stood Cleveland must give another
player, who already has been agreed
upon. but whose identity has not been
divulged.
Harris was drafted by the Indians
from Chattanooga in 1917. He was in
France the next year and did not re-
join the local team until midseason.
1919. That winter. however. he
jumped his reserve to play with an
independent team at Franklin Pa.
He applied for reinstatement last
August and his case still is under
consideration by Judge Landis. He is
a first baseman and a heavy hitter.
Elmer Smith. who has been on the
Indians roster since 1917, came into
fame in the world series of 1920 when
he knocked home run with the
runs last season and drove in eighty
four runs. His average was .290.
George Burns has seen service with
Detroit and Philadelphia. He came to
Cleveland in 1920. played first base
when left-handed pitcher was work.
ing against the Indians last season
and batted 1861 in eighty-four games
"Stuffy" McInnis, who comes to
Cleveland for the three players, Is
considered one of the best first base
men in the league. Last season he
had an unprecedented record of one
error in 152 games and batted 1907.

well defined impression that he is the
best hitter on the local roster by col
lecting an average of $3.50. Ed Char
rity was runner-up, with an average
of .310. Shanks .302 landed him third.
and Joe Judge finished just above the
coveted mark with .301. OF the regu-
lars Stanley Harris was next in line,

Harris Lost PiIfering Title.
The fact that with the athletes

dicated by the fact that Sisler carried

| thirtyfive thefts to his credit. stan
| Harris led in this department for

no official action on a communication
from Judge K. NJ. Lands, commits
sioner of base ball, urging that con-
sideratio be given to the draft plan
formulated at the meeting of the base

agreement. which makes the draft
optional with the small leagues still
has six years to run and that there
appeared no reason to break the con-
