HECKLE JACK DUNN
AT LEAGUE SESSION
Rochester Wants to Know
Why He Has Not Sold Two
More Of His Stars.

One of the features of the annual
meeting Of the International League
which was started yesterday at the
Commodore. was an inquiry by Walter
Hapgood of the Rochester club into the
reasons for tho failure of Jack Dunn to
obey the leagues mandate and sell at
least three of his stars. Dunn made a
start when he got rid OF Jack Bentley
to the Giants. but Boley. Bishop. Ogden
and other luminaries srill grace his
roster-and Hapgood wanted to know
How conner"
Hapgood's effort TO make an honest
to goodness resolution out of his inquiry
was blocked by John Conway Toole, the
president. who declared that Dunn had
until the opening OF the season Of 1928
to get rid OF the other two stars. Boley
may be sold to the Cardinals soon.
Toole declared that the draft is dead
This made It unanimous. He added that
he had been asked by the Southern and
Eastern Leagues as to ways and
means for quitting the agreement with
the majors and getting out OF the draft
1t seems that the Southern League got
a crick In the neck last eeason from be-
ing in the draft. Toole declared that he
had not indicated to these leagues how
to get rid of the burden.
The delegates debated long over the
relative merits of 154 game schedule
and a 1853 game card and decided In
favor Of the longer program with its
sparkling double headers. The season
will be opened on April IS and closed
on September 90. The opening days

President Charles A. Comiskey Of the

to-day intimated that such a deal wa
On. The "Old Roman" also disclosed the
fact that negotiations have been going
on for several weeks, but to date he ha
not been able to come to any agreement
with the owners of the Yankees.
Whether anything will come Of the
trade proposed is problematical.' said
the White Sox boss. THE desire Is strong
between. both the Yankees and myself
for an exchange. but somehow or an
other we don't seem to be able to get
together with clincher. Later we may
get down to the moro serious side Of the
giving and taking which will be involved
in the trade II II comes to pass. The
meetings scheduled for New York this
week will probably pop something that
will be advantageous to both the Yam

Comiskey, because of Ill health, will

son, Lou Comiskey. treasurer OF the

Colonel Huston Will Sell
Half Interest in Yankees
Continued from First Page.

stood revealed as two OF the shrewdest
business men professional sport. There
are no reports available. but it is quite
certain that in two of the big years the
two Colonels cleared over twice what
they had paid for the Yankees in the
first place
Up to that time the Giants had been
the spectacular team in the financial
way. But the sums spent by Coils. Rup-
pert and Huston made the biggest deals
heretofore made by John McGraw look
small. 1t is said that the Yankee owners
bought from Harry III. Frazee alone
about half a million dollars worth of
baseball players. Then came the news
that they were paying to Babe Ruth a
salary which, with bonuses. reached
something like $4,000 a year.
Rivals of Yankees.
The success of the Yankees became SO
pronounced that they became serious
rivals of the Giants. and Stoneham.
McGraw and McQuaid intimated that
they would be glad to have them vacate
the Polo Grounds as soon as convenient.
Col. Rupert and Col. Huston retorted
by building a new baseball park, the
stands of which will seat something like
$4,000. This park will be ready for the
opening of the season Of 1928. The
plans were drawn and the construction
started under the personal supervision of
Col. Huston. who Is an engineer by pro-
fession. The Yankee plant will be the
largest baseball park. in the world.
Il think that am entitled to a rest"
said Col. Huston. THE business of
baseball Is commencing to tire me a
bit. though Of course I shall always
love and follow the game. When We
took the Yankees they were nothing
much. They were losing money.
Il think that I can take little par
donable pride In what we have accom-
plished. We have built up the Yankees.
and in some measure / think that we
have built up baseball. If I leave the
Yankees. as ] intend to do, / will leave
them a championship team with ball
park of their own. They had no ball
park and no championship earmarks
when we bought them.
ut has been interesting work; it
has worn me out little. / have had
some fun in the building Of the Yankees
and have had n lot Of hard work and
a lot of worriment In it, too. 1t is a

LANDIS REFUSES TO
REINSTATE WEAVER
Barred Chicago Player Makes
Futile Attempt to Re-
turn to Game.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Judge Lands has
denied the application for reinstatement
made by George (Buck) Weaver. for
mer third baseman of the Chicago
White Sox. The decision was an
nounced to-day by Leslie O'Connor, the
Judges secretary. The commissioner is
in New York for the baseball meetings.
Weaver was one Of the Chicago players
who were barred from organized base
ball as the result OF the world series
scandal of 1919. He always has main
talned that he was not one of the plot
ters and that he did not throw any
games to the Cincinnati team.
Weaver told Commissioner Lands In
his application for reinstatement that
he had been approached by Eddie CT
cote. pitcher of the White Sox, with a
proposition to throw the SERIES" He
said he told Cicotte the series could
not be thrown, and thereafter heard
no more about IT, Commissioner, Lands,
in his decision. said:
Indictments were returned against
certain members of the team, including
Weaver. On the trial of this case q
witness for the prosecution gave wha:
he claimed was a detailed account of his
meeting with the indicted men and ar
ranging with them for the throwing OF
he worlds series games.
THE report showed that Weaver was
present In court during the testimony OF
this witness. who most specifically
stated that Weaver was present at the
conference, and yet the case went to
the jury without any denial from
Weaver from the witness stand.
eff the discriminating evidence was
false. the baseball public had right to
weaver's denial under oath. OF course.
1t is true that n verdict of not guilty
was rendered in Weaver's favor. II was
also likewise true that the samo jury
returned tho same verdict In favor OF Ci-
cote. Claude Williams and Joe Jackson
each of whom had confessed his guilt.
Weaver denies he had anything ia
do with the conspiracy as alleged In
the confessions. which we're introduced
at the trial However. his own admis-
sions forbid his reinstatement"

CHANGE SIGNS TO
MANAGE RED SOX
Former Pilot of Cubs and
Yankees Back in Major
League Baseball.

The oft repeated rumor that Frank
Chance, former manager of the Chicago
Cubs and the New York Americans, was
to be the next manager of the Boston
Red Sox became fact yesterday, when
he signed contract to pilot that club
next season. Neither Chance nor Harry
Frazee. owner of the club. would reveal
the terms of the contract. but Frazee
admitted that one Of the highest salaries
ever paid baseball manager is in
volved.
Chance arrived here yesterday from
Glendora, Cal, where he disposed of all
his real estate and orange grove inter-
ests, and lost no time in coming to
terms with the owner of the Boston
American League club. II just couldn't
stay away from baseball" he said. 1T
has the same lure as printers ink"
Frazee radiated as much pleasure
over his capture of one of baseball s
most prominent and most able managers
as did Chance over his return to base
ball harness." The club owner declared
that not only would Chance have a free
reign In managing the club but that
the team by trade and purchase and to
bring the club back to a position of
pennant contender.
1t is nearly a quarter of a century
since Chance Joined the Chicago Cubs
with which aggregation he remained
until 1912-fourteen years-first as a
catcher. then as first baseman and
finally as playing manager and part
owner of the club. He led the Cubs to
four National League championships
and two world series titles and as a
player shone brilliantly both as fielder
and batsman. Chance was about to re-
tire from baseball In 1912, when the
New York American League club in
duced him to take over the managerial
reins of the Yankees under three year
contract In 1913 the Yankees failed
to finish better than seventh under his
leadership and the following year. owing
to some disagreement with the club
owners over team policies, he resigned
before the close of the season.
He then purchased an orange grove In
Glendora and apparently was through
with baseball for all time. But In 1916
he was induced to buy an interest In and
manage the Los Angeles Club. which
succeeded In winning the Pacific Coast
pennant, but failed to make any money.
That venture drove Chance out Of base
ball again. The old love OF the game
was soon rekindled, however. and ru-
mors came floating East that Chance
was anxious for a major league berth
again. Frazee and Chance held several
conferences during the world series here
last October and at the time the Boston
club owner remarked that the former
manager Of the Cubs and Yankees would
be Just the man to reorganize his tenn
II he could come to satisfactory terms.

Giants Send Hill Back
to indianapolis Team
Bespectacled Pitcher Re
placed by a Youngster.

Carmen Fiji. the bespectacled right
handler, who came to the Giants late last
season from indianapolis. yesterday was
returned to that club. John McGraw
said that he had so many promising
young pitchers coming up this spring
he felt that he could not afford the
time or the trouble Of experimenting
further with Hill.
"Hill got his chance last summer and
he did not show enough to make me feel
that ought to keep him. said Mac.
The release OF Hill will enable the
Giants to sign Guy Morrison, who was
purchased recently from Bloomington OF
the Three League. but who could not
be placed on the roster because 1t al
ready had forty names.
McGraw denied that he wa interested
in Eddie Roush. I'VE do not want him
now. Too late. even II Garry wants to
get rid Of him. and that Is not at all GER
TAIN" declared Mac.
Jim Tierney announced that at the
annual meeting OF the directors OF the
National Exhibition Company new Job
had been created for him. He Is now
not only secretary of the Giants but
assistant treasurer as well. G. A. Stone
