GOLF CoHIMITTE TO TRY
 OUT STEEL SHAFT CLUBS

New York. Dec, 19-Asserting it's re- fusal to permit use of steel-shafted golf clubs in national championships had been misconstrued, the executive committee of the U. S Golf association issued a state ment today explaining it's attitude and announcing that official tests of the new style shaft would be authorized.
 When we were asked to approve its 1se," statement said. i've felt that 1t was distinct departure from the ac- eepted form and make of golf clubs, and that no one at that time knew enough about it's possibilities to be sure that its use was, for the best interests of the game
 "We,. accordingly, refused to permit its use in the national championships. Our feelings are still the same. The execu- 1 tive committee itself will try out the shafts and request that a number of the leading amateurs do the same and re- port their findings to the committee They also will request that all other play CTS who use the shaft and who desire to should submit their views to the commit. l tee"

Bates, Pittsfield sho:E@op, on whom wal vers have been asked by the Hillies. Bates has been with Pittsfie.d for sev- eral seasons and ranks as one of the best shortstops in the lee.gue,. his hitting making him especially desirable. Ut is not considered likely that Pittsfield will sell Bates at the waiver price, it being probable that the Hillies have a chance to get rid of him at a better price out side the league.
 Secretary Walter Hapgood of the Roch- ester club in a talk with the local club owners down in New York, said that Rochester had been trying to sell Ken meth King for s2,5oD but the deal had fallen through.

Red sox After McSillnn

Rumor ,sayeth that the Red Sox are casting covetous eyes at Norman McAdil- Ian, the young outfielder-third baseman of the last season. Franke Chance and Harry Frazee had a conference the other day and discovered that third base is one of the yawning gaps in the line up. McMillan was a cracking good third sacker with Rochester, and more than one critic believes that he will develop into @ hard hitter. As fielder he is al- ready there both ways from the jock, and he would be great addition to the Sox's inner efense. Frazee.s is un- ,derstood to have offered only cash for him.

ONE PLAYER HOLDS
TIP RIG DEAL

UP. RIG DEAL
 New York, Dec. 1s-The celebrated md long-awaited deal between the Yam Aees and White Sox hangs on the, Ques- tion. of one player, according to Miller Huggins, who left for his home in Cin- 1innati yesterday and reviewed the trad Ing market as he waited for train time to approach. The Tanks, he declared, naves agreed on the three athletes whom they are willing to ship to Chicago, but the Sox ba.k at handing over cesSaIn pitcher, and that little difficulty repre- sents the insect in the ointment.
 Higgins admitted that Kid Gleason has consented to pat with Eddie Col lins and leftfielder Bib Falk, the young Texan It is known on equally good au- 1 Ihority that the Tanks who will go-iI there is a trade-are Bob MeuSel and Aaron Ward. But the Sox demand a pitcher, Waite Hoyt, and HISz.ns balks at this sacrifice of the Brooklyn boy l unless he gets certain twirler in re- | turn.
 You'll have to guess at the identity i of this Chicago piuruer," said Huggins. I've already tod you about Collins and Faik. The White Sox also want a pitch er-moreover, pitcher whom I can't jet go without getting another to take bis place"
 If the Tanks are. agreeable to letting Hoyt go, they probably have demanded l Ted Blankenship, the nineteen-year old Texan, in return. Urban Faber is out of l the question, for more than one reason. l and Huggins probably would not want I charley Robertson, of no-hit ,no-run fame under the conditions. That leaves only | Blankenship and Gorham Leverettc, as ] possibilities. and it is likely that Huggins has insisted on B.ankenship, who is one Of the best youngsters in the big lea i gues. He is big and strong, with plenty of 1 stuff and a good change. of pace, and he is young. Chicago critics assert that Ire will be a great boxman before he has 1 reached his majority, and Huggins was vlsibly impressed by him last season the more so when the cowboy shut out the Yankees with handful of hits ;n the late stages of the pennant fight
 Wihing to Trade Heyt
 Lasteweex Huggins refused point blank to. part with either Hoyt or Sam Jones but he has now brought himself around to the point of letting Hoyt go if the pitching staff is not weakened too much With five veteran twirlers and two good | youngsters in George Murray and Jake May, it would seem that the Tanks could best afford to give over a little strength i in that department.
 The dickering for May is still in a. unsettled state also. Vernon has acceptel
 the Yankees terms and they have agreed
 on the four players who will be deliver.
 ed for the left5haHer, but the trouble
 lies in the fact 1hat other big leagut
 cubs have refused to waive on one ol
 two. of the quartet. Mike McNally, A {. Devormer and Camp Skinner have beer
 mentioned as three that may go to tht
 coast
 It is possible that the White Sox dea , may slumber until the league meeting in February. Higgins may do little SC cret work before that time. and ther ] is chance that he will run over to Chi } cago for another conference. before Feb : ruary
