Reds and Braves in Trade.

Two of the teams of the Nation
al league circuit have made a trade
that has big possibilities in the 1922
baseball race. Almost on the eve of
departure for the training camps,
the Boston Nationals have given
Scott, a pitcher, to Cincinnati, for
Vanguard and Kopf 1t may not
mean the championship for either
team. and probably does not, but
the transfer is likely to cut into the
winning probabilities of New York,
St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Both
Boston and Cincinnati seemed to
have profited. 1t is too early to
figure to what extent. Each player
must establish what result is to
follow. The trade looked over care
fully today seems to be one OF those
dickers in baseball by which one
club make sits stake the gain for
the moment-that clubs in this case
being Boston-while the other, Gin
cinnati, is counting on something
that may result advantageously

WALSH WANTS
TITLE CHANCE
FOR GRIFFITHS
the Same Kind OF Boat as
Dave Shade Was.
BY j. l. HI-GHES.

If Dave Shade, the young Cali
fornian, was entitled to a chance at
Jack Britton's welterweight crown,
why shouldn't Johnny Grif1ths, the
Akron Irishman, have the oppor-
tunity to try for that which Shade
failed in, asks Tom Walsh, who
with Nate Lewis handles the ring
destinies Of the Ohioan.
In letter to this department,
Walsh points out that Mickey
Walker. the Jersey City boy, who
defeated Griffiths recently, kayoed
Dave Shade in six rounds few
months ago, but it was such a good
scrap that the promoters decided
to give the young westerner an
other chance. The second time
Shade gained the decision and
stepped into the title bout with
Britton, which ended in a draw.
Griffiths is in much the same sit
uation as Shade, says Walsh. Give
him another crack at the hard-hit-
ting Jerseyite and he will be fore
most among contenders for the
wclter crown.
''Grifiths will fight Morrie Schl1i-
fer of Omaha at Davenport March
with all the power and agrees
siveness in his makeup. and after
he beats the Nebraska Hebrew we
want tri-city promoters to get eth
er Mickey Walker or Jack Britton
for him." writes Walsh
Remember that every great
fighter, including Dempsey. Leon
ard and Britton. has been defeated
at some stage in his career, and
this is the first for Grifffths. but
the fans of the tri-cities will see a
real fighter when Griff1ths steps
into the ring, for it often takes a
defeat to wake a man up, and the
Akron boy will be at his best the
night OF March g." concludes Waltz.

Jimmy Nuss Active.

Jimmy Nuss, former Moliner. is
active in Wisconsin rings at this
time. Jimmy fought man named
Frank Grace recently at MiIwau-
kee. winning by wide margin. A
writer for the Milwaukee Sentinel.
however, says that Jimmy would be
a champion in a free-for-ail scufle
but has much to learn yet about
boxing before he steps out in high
class company. The account of the
bout reads in part: 'Nuss decis-
lively defeated Frank Grace in the
semi-windup of eight rounds, but
he knows little about fighting. At
any rate. he soaks a mean waIlop.
For particulars ask Grace. He
caught plenty. 1t was a battle of
heavy artillery all the way and a
knockout seemed imminent at any
time. In the fourth round each
scored a knockdown. One of Nuss'
wild swings missed its mark and
the momentum carried Jimmy to
the floor. AS he was going down.
Grace whipped one to the head,
helping Jimmy on his way. He
was up in a second. fighting as
strong as ever. He backed Grace
to the ropes and brought up a left
to the jaw that tumbled Frank for
the count OF nine. Grace was
groggy for the rest of that round
but fought gamely the remainder
Of the fight"

CRITICISM OF
LANDS MADE
BY MAGNATES
Dignity of Bench No
Longer With Games
Chief.
BY JOHN B. POSTER.

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
1t is very well known in baseball
circles that Commissioner Lands
has been criticised by some of the
owners who chose him for his pres
ent position. However, there Is
nothing extraordinary about that.
No man ever has attempted to
serve baseball in an executive ca
pacity who has not been criticised
and some of it as bitterly personal
as the critics.
1t was drily asked today by one
of the club owners who has been a
staunch Lands adherent, whether
the fact of his resignation from the
bench will be seized upon by the
diSaffected to criticise the commits
sioner more keenly. HE is only
one Of us. now" this man said,
Just baseball, and you know what
that means"
Attention is called to the posi-
bility that with no draft law in ex-
istence in baseball, the commits
sioner, as Il federal judge on the
one hand, and as the head of base
ball and pleading its existence on
the other, probably found himself
in somewhat of a Quandary. With
the reserve rule in effect and con-
tracts being observed without the
draft, services of a ball player be-
long in perpetuity to any baseball
club which signs the player to d
contract. Its a hard nut to crack.

Endorsement of candidates may be
one of the principal issues before the
meeting of the State Council for Pro-
gressive Political Action, called to
meet here next Monday, according to

As to how many delegates will attend
is prOblematical- Since the call was

inquiries have been received from all
parts of the state. Mr.. PauIsen said.
1t appears there is little probability
that any attempt will be made to
launch new political party Taxes

discussion at the meeting. The in
tention is that the convention is to be
composed of delegates from various
organizations of farmers, labor unions
and civic and political associations
generally.

Premier Lloyd Georges hopes for fun
success at the Russian conference at
The Hague fell today when 1t became
virtually certain that France will not
participate in the meeting
From source close to Premier
Poincare it was Learned that after
communicating with Washington, the
French premier exerted all his influ
ence upon the French cabinet that
France should follow the lead of the
United States and refrain from par
ticipation in The Hague meeting
However, even if France does re-
main away from The Hague confer
ence, this may not prevent the meeting
from being held When arrangements
were made for the conference, the
condition was INTRODUCED that the alb
steutfon of one power would not pre-
vent the others from taking part.
Premier Poincare and Minister of
Justice Barthou are understood to hold
the opinion that Russ will employ
obstructiOnist tactics in The Hague
meeting that will prevent definite de-
cisions.
Possibility that Italy might follow
the lead of France was expressed to-

Premier Poincare's decision that the
French government should not be rep

President Harding and Secretary of

could come of the second conference

In connection with the newly an
