NEW YORK. Dec. 21 Omitted

The desire for more Sunday dates

great gate attraction. az he Is very
popular in New York and Il would

infeld 10 compare with the Giants.
Erin Ward isn't the worst second
baseman IN the league and consid-
ering that he has time to come
along while Collins is about through,
the deal would not seem logical.
we're It not for the fact that Miller
Huggins doesn't like Ward and Ward
doesn't like 10 play under him.

champion, expects to start practic-

amputation OF the upper portion OF
the middle finger OF his right hand.
Undaunted by the fact that his
finger has become very stiff. Bill has
decided to build up an entirely new
grip 20 conform with the limitations
OF his manned hand.
Il am now certain that what is left
OF my middle right finger will be so
stiff II will be virtually useless in
gripping the racquet" Tllden told
the United Press.
This means 1 will have TO re-
model my game on orthodox lines
and tho trick shots that have meant
much to my game will be a total
loss. My backhand drive and my
forehand drives probably will be the
only strokes that will not be affected
by my injury"
Tilden's finger was injured in a
tennis match early in the autumn
when he ran into wire netting.
The finger was slightly scratched
and infection spread so that he lost
the finger from the distal Joint.
In diagnosing his own game Tilden
claims he will retain the two great

champion continued.
Il know that the volley shots and (
the delicate little cut shots that I
have depended on 20 much are lost .
to me, for I make all those plays ,
with my fingers.
What 1 have 20 regain now is
In my play. In the last /

Meanwhile Big Bill is working
