BATTLE Of BIDS
FORbA[T|MORE
GIANT PITCHER
Tom Turner Hopes to Sell
Rube Walberg to Mc0raW
for $62. 900.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1s.-
Thomas Turner. the Philadslphian,
who is now acting president Of the
Portland Club OF the Pacific Coast
League. left last night for Pitts
burgh where he expects to sell Rube
walberg. the giant left handler Of
the Portland team, to John McGraw
for a fortune.
Turner said It would take a
genuine cash offer Of $4,000 with
out players for the Giants to acquire
the sensational southsider. who in
his first season in professional base
ball has caused forest fires in the
coast circuit.
walberg Is six feet two inches tall
and weights 1876 pounds. When he
reported to Portland last spring Tom
Immediately nicknamed him Rube
because he reminded him OF Wad-
dell. He came to Portland direct
from the independent diamonds OF
the State of Washington.
He Immediately made good and
every scout in the two majors have
put their o. K. on him. Bids came
In fast. The Yanks raised their
offer three times and then the
Giants intimated they would give
more than any other club in the two
circuits.
Turner. says he is not anxious to
part with Walberg even for $s2 900
because he believes he can get $75,.
900 or $100,0 for him next winter.
The Portland chief also said that
Gresset, who had a sl1nR tcial with
Connie Mack, had developed into q
star. He is big and strides over the
a left.handed hitter and the last
averages credited him with a per-
centage Of .346.
Mack sold Gressett outright to
Portland, but Turner will give the
Athletics the first chance to buy him.
Cincinnati already has made a big
cash offer for him.
Turner also added that other for.
mer Mackmen with Portland were
having successful seasons. Emmett
McCann, the young Philadelphia
shortstop, is strong favorite with
Portland fans. He had a poor start
but soon found himself and his field-
ing and batting make him one Of the
mainstays OF the team.
McCann is fifteen pounds heavier
than he was last year. He is thor,
oughly pleased with the climate of
the coast. Brazil and High are also
playing superbly for Portland.

Johnston Shows Good
Judgment in
Preparing

Bill Johnston seems to have
carried out his campaign Of
preparation for the big tennis
fuss this summer with better
Judgment than Champion Bill
Tilden. While the champion
was resting in the fastnesses Of
the mountains to prevent stale
ness, Johnston was playing close
to his best form in the Sea-
bright tournament.
He has worked up to the eli
max carefully, and evidently
with much success. The i'm
preston among tennis follow
ers that Johnston's ambition to
win the crown once more is
about to be realized is growing
stronger.

hitting team In the minor leagues
Nobody knew that Al had 1o-cent
rocket ball hidden under his arm.
He had taken 1t from kid who was
watching him in the bull pen. He
walked to the tee and regulation
sphere was thrown to him. He pitch
ed the usual five warm.up balls with
the legal apple. and then while pos
ing around the peak managed to
secret the real ball inside his shirt
and then get hold Of the 10-cent roc.
ket.
The first hitter was Bill Styles,
formerly Of the Athletics. Al split
the plate with the softest kind OF
pitch. Styles waded into 10 like
hungry man into an order OF fried
chicken. Styles thought he would
drive the ball into the next State,
he hit it so hard, but was amazed
to see the left fielder catch It.
The other Reading players were
wise. The ball was almost flattened
by the impact, and Al had to mold II
into shape again with his hands.
The next hitter was Pitcher Parn-
ham Al also grooved the ball for
Parnham, and he took a healthy wal
lop at 1t. He was surprised when the
shortstop threw him out at first.
Parnham sensed something was
wrong and demanded that the ball
be thrown to the umpire. Al yelled:
step up to the plate and get yours" !"
to the next batsman. but the UNI
pire called for the ball.
All the time Al was stalling and
trying hard to fish the regulation
BAN out OF his shirt, but IL only
wedged down deeper. Sheepishly
he rolled the 10-cent rocket along
the ground to the umpire.
The umpire gave one glance at
the ball and told Parnham to bat
over again. Then Styles rushed out
and yelled, What about me?"
The ump beckoned to Al to come
to the plate. Ibid you use that
rocket when you pitched to Styles?'
NO" replied Al, but I'll admit I
pitched II to Parnham."
AL laughed at the Baltimore bench
when he walked to the peak again
with a regulation sphere in his hand.
His trick had worked so far as
Styles was concerned. As Baltimore
did not protest at the time Styles
was being retired, the ump had to
take the pitchers word.

SOVIET RECOGNITION
BLOCKED IN LONDON
Moscow Unwilling to Accede to
Terms Satisfactory to Eng
land and France.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
International News gervfce-

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Negotia-
tions between Moscow and London
for British recognition of the
Soviet government have reached
deadlock. it was learned tonight
from official sources.
While the Moscow Soviet govern.
ment has revised it's communist
policy, adopting state capitalism" !"
1t is not yet ready to meet the
demands upon which Great Britain
and France insist before they will
recognize Lenin's administration.
In view of the growing intimacy
between Italy and Russia, it would
not be surprising II Italy is the
first of the European allies to give
formal recognition to the Moscow
regime.
The question of British recog-
milton Of the Russian Soviet came
up in the House of Commons this
afternoon. Premier Bonar Law
gave the following upon which
Great Britain would accord recog-
milton:
1-Recognition Of the entire
Russian national debt by the.
Soviet.
2-Restitution of private prop
erty nationalized by the. Soviet.
3-Cessation of Bolshevist prop
uganda outside of Russia by the
Soviet.
These conditions were similar to
those outlined by the old Lloyd
George government for Russian
recognition.
1t appears unlikely that . either
Britain or Russia will make an
other move in the situation involv-
ing recognition until some time next
year.
