passing -of-the-cowboy theme has been
a little overwritten- There is still
great deal of open range in the west,
and there are still thousands of men
who can throw a rope and hog-tie a
steer as well as ever it was done. The
western cowman still knows how to
drive cattle long distances and get
them to the market in good condition,
too. Unless freight rates drop there
will probably be many long drives in
the next few years.

How fair life was, but then we didn't

We lived it thru, dreaming that we should

 Wrapped Up
 In Trade Talk
BY aAw vEIOGK.

Buffalo, N. r., Dec. s-Trade winds started blowing he92 today as the baseball magnates got warmed up to their favorite winter pastime.
 The Detroit Tigers, still looking for pitching talent, will try out two Paci- fic Coast twirlerS in the Spring. The writer is informed that President Navain has purchased Pitchers Pi1lett and Johnson from the Portland team for cash and players.
 Kansas City has several deals on with minor league teams and Indiana polls expects Manager McGraw to name the players he is going to send to Jack Hendricks team in the deal for Outfielder Shtnners.
 President Tom Hayden, of the Jop- lin club, announced that he has sign ed Joe Dunn to manage that team next season. He has also traded First baSeman Snedecor to Omaha for 1n- fielder Spranger and Inf1elder Krueger to Oklahoma City for Infielder shan ley.
 fielder Moore and there are many ether deals in the making between the Merrie Macs many of which will take some time for completion.
 Griffith Seeks Manager.
 With the resignation of George Me Bride as manager of the Washington Senators, Clark Griffith is casting about for a new pilot.
 "I have not any one in particular in mind" said Griffith today. But it's a long winter and there is plenty of time to decide on a field manager"
 President Jim McCaffery of the Toronto Leafs announced that Lena Black burne would be his manager for 1922, and that his team is in for a real shaking up.
 Ernie Landgraff, president of the Syracuse club, has received such an attractive offer to take his franchise to Montreal, where J. K. l.. Ross stands ready to sponsor it, that the team will probably be moved before the first of the year.
 Routine business for the most part was the order as the National As sociations convention got down to its second day session today. The absence of a rival candidate for the 1922 meeting of the association Hamilton, Ont, apparently had the plum in it's hip pocket today, awaiting only the taking of a vote by the as sociation.
 Tex Erwin, once a star catcher with the Brooklyn Dodgers, who now makes his home in Rochester, is another veteran player who wants a berth as manager and has several prospects Bill Clymer, the Derby days boy and Dick Hoblitzel, are also on the waiting list.''
