drew into a corner and there was
bun Of animated dialogue from which
escaped q few stray words on the sub
jeet Of buying Cap Huston new iron
boiler" 20 replace the famous ehapeau
that vas sold with bic share Of the
bali club. Finally Rupert advanced
az spokesman and answered; The

In three days, beginning on the east

al disabled soldiers wherever / think
IL can be spent 70 DO the most good.
That satisfied both Colonel Rupert
and Mr.. stonehan, and the judge was
rot asked 20 include concrete or steel
an hie supper menu. Perhaps Colonel
Jake merely agreed with the Commis-
sioner to save the new stadium from
che threatened attack In any case,
the owners OF the Yankees and Giants
tben announced that the s60,217 left
10 them 70 distribute would be handed
out 70 various New York City chan-
ties. Both the Judge and The magnates
stated that they would Try 10 have the
money out Of the bank trenches and
into the charity dug-ou.s before De-
csmbcr 20, which Is Wednesday OF next
week.
Auction Mari Deserted
n the meanwhile, the auction mart
vas practically deserted. The White
Sox outfit boarded q rattler for Chi
chgo uttsring rsucouS shricks against
Miller Hurgins. Ed Barrow and the rest
Of the Yankee outfit. "Huhl" says Hhr-
~ Grabiner. They wanted 10 trade Us
corpses for live ball players. We
wouldn't consider the acceptance Of
some Of the boys they mentioned IN
less an alarm clock and an Evinrude
motor we're tossed In with each one. We
know that kind-'they sleep while you
work" After witnessing the October
series some OF the Yankee rootere are
inclined 20 agree with Gardiner.
Miller HugGins withdrew into the Sc
ciusion Of his room AZ the Commodore
ana admitted that somebody had
thrown several hundred dozen hies IN
the clear amber Of the proposed trade.
higgins got the idea that he had bet
ter stop talking 10 the Chicago dele
gates Before they asked him for the
left wing Of the grHndstand at the new
stadium. The mite manager thought
he might satisfy Kid Gleason by offer
ing bis inheld. outheld and four or
Eve Of his pitchers for Eddie Collins,
but II seems ne was mistaken.
The deal IL not definitely OF. how
ever. IL never is. The respective
clubs are agreed on every point except
the players 20 be traded and the
amount OF money 10 be thrown into the
scales. While the Yanks and White
SoV we're going through these empty
gestures, Squire Charlie Ebbets stepped
out and made an Ofhand deal with the
Cubs by which Turner Barber, the
Chicago left-felder. comes 70 Flatbush
and environs, and Wallace Hood, re-
called by Brooklyn from the miners.
goes to Join the Cub outer garden.
Robins May Trade Wheat
u vas further alleged that either
Hy Myers or Zach Wheat was being
considered in a trade with ST. Louis
FOR Bill Pertiea, Jacques Fournier and
Doc LsvHn. Nothing definite Is de-
cided upon, but there is no doubt that
The Squire Of Flatbush viii be glad
20 trade Wheat 20 some other club II
he can get twice a. much in return.
Ty Cobb has the right idea in the
matter Of trades. Says Tyrus, "Never
ask another team 20 trade when things
are cold. Meetings are rotten places
20 get what you want. As soon as you
start 20 talk about n swap the other
fellow starts backing sway-thinks
you're after his Watcn arc chain and
maybe his life insurance. Get after
l them during the season when their
team Is slumping Then they're liable
y 20 sell you a couple Of stars for three
rubles and a cigar coupon"
Captain Huston entrained for Gin
eiruau yesterday IN company With
Captain Elton. adjutant- general Of the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars, for a con
ference on the general subject Of dis-
abled soldier relief, which will take
up most Of Caps time now that be is
retiring from baseball.

One of the best looking prospects in
the majors last year was Dar CLARK,

Squire Ebbets rises 20 state that
