 For the Seniors. Lackmond. Joe Travis. Bowers and smith were the stars. Laekmond gained most Of the ground and tackled savagely, while Travis and Bowers were hard to stop. Smith ran his team in ex- cellent fashion, and ploughed through for 8 neat gain.
 On the Senior line. Ransom. sholl and Mcintyre were defensive stars.
 For the Juniors, Bartlett was the best ground gainer. although McAr- thur and Guy Travis were also good.
 Bostick, Die and Jaffe played well on the line.
 The Juniors kept the ball in Senior territory most of the time, due to superior bunting. but neither team could gain consistently when in the others territory.

MUCH TALK ABOUT DEALS, BUT LITTLE ACTION IS RESULT
Big Deal Between Yankees and White Sox Said to Have
 Fallen Through

NEW YORK. Dec. 14-Major league club owners closed their 1923 con- ferenoes today after establishing new records for a maximum discussion of player deals and trades and a min mum of actual propositions consum mated. Three deals involving ac- quisition of highly touted minor league stars were the net results of practically continuous bartering ef- forts. No inter-league deals figured in the limelight
 Outstanding today was the intima tion by officials of both New York and Chicago American league clubs tkat the deal by which the Yankees sought to acquire Eddie Collins, star second baseman of the White Sox, had practically fallen through.
 It was learned, however, that Dick Kerr, White Sox southpaw, who is under suspension for failure to re- port 1ast year and playing With in eligibles, has been eliminated from any deal because he must remain an other year outside of ineligible com pany in diamond before obtaining reinstatement. Efforts to secure ieNleHcy III ms case DeCduSe or nlS previous record failed, it was said.
 No Deal For BOley
 Meanwhile, reports circulated that the Yankees, as an alternative, or possibly an adjunct to Chicago deal, had offered the unprecedented sum of s175,0O0 for Shortstop Joe Bailey of the Baltimore International league club, who is declared to be the most sought after performer in the minors. Manager Huggins of the Yankees deniedf any deal for Boley and reports that he would be dis posed of at all for at least year were put at rest by announcement in Baltimore that the infielder had signed a 1923 contract with the Orioles.
 This has been one of the most un- productive meetings, as far as deals are concerned, that I ever attended" declared Frank Chance, former peerless leader" of the Chicago Cubs and new pilot of the Boston Red Sox.
 Ty Cobb, when not smiling at in- quiries about his 1922 batting avec age, asserted he had failed to put through any propositions, although admitting he was looking for some new material for the Detroit Tigers,

are good New Workers. Songs and Indian dances comprise the routine. Two bows.
 No. 3--Dolly Grey and Bery Byron came without any particular an nouncement and proved real enter tainers. Miss Grey is a statuesque brunette who knows how to wear clothes, and as hard boiled flap per in search of a husband, was effective. Byron is what would be termed a "cute" chap and delivers hIs bits with telling "savoir faire.' This cast is easily the best, from a point of effort, on the bill.
 No. 4-Mons. Grant Gardner ush- CTS himself in with dark stage, flashing lights, and the "Clansman's Call' from the Birth of Nation" music. Then he gives it to you--in blacbface. He puts over some xcel- lent comedy, but inclined to force his popularity. Two bows and an encore.
