BIG DEAL DEPENDS
UPON ONE PLAYER
Collins Trade Likely II Yanks Get
Blankenship

New York, Dec. 19.--The celebrated
and long g-awaited deal between the
Yankees and White Sox hangs on the
question Of one player. according to
Miller Higgins, before departing for his
home in Cincinnati.
The Yanks, he declared. have agreed
on the three athletes whom they are
willing to ship to Chicago, but the Sox
balk at handing over a certain pitcher,
and that little difficulty represents the
insect in the ointment.
Higgins admitted that Kid Gleason
has consented to part with Eddie Col
Inns and Left Fielder Bib Falk, the
young Texan. 1t Is known on equally
good authority that the Yanks who will
go--!f there is a trade-are Bob Meusel
and Aaron Ward. But the Sox demand
pitcher, Waite Hoyt, and Higgins
balks at this sacrifice Of the Brooklyn
boy unless he gets a certain twirler in
return.
You'll have to guess at the identity
Of this Chicago pitcher, said Huggins;;
1--WE already told you about Collins apd
Falk. The White Sox also want
pitcher moreover, pitcher whom I
cant let go without getting another to
take his place.
II the Yanks are agreeable to letting
Hoyt go, they probably have demanded
Ted Blankenship. the nineteen year -old
Texan, In return.

The Daughters of Columbus basket
ball team received a big surprise last
evening when Bobby Winskill, the we'll
known basketball organizer. took his
lockwood girls out to Knights OF Co
lumbus Hall and gave the champions
real battle. score II to 8.
Not until the second half did the
Columbus girls show any decided abii-
ity, and this good work was only after
Nell Dennehey, the injured captain, en-
tered the lineup. Without their star
center the team appeared to be lost and
at half time Rookwood led by a two
point margin.
Mary Conway, speedy forward Of the
West Philly maids, shot sensational
goal soon after the second half started
that tied the count and then accounted
for another two pointer that sent her
team into the lead, never to be headed.
Lockwood deserves considerable credit
for the showing made against the team
that only recently humbled the best in
New York. and for time it seemed
that the lassies from the Manufacturers
League would walk off with the game.
In the preliminary games First

second team lost to Daughters Of Phil

the famous Black Swan Records have

ed that many unfair tactics have been

Among the latest campaigns to be

The singer in question is Carroll
Clark, who has been with the Pace

ginning and two of whose records
had already been released on Black

a record or so for the Columbia but

WOULD PLACE NEGRO
TROOPS IN HAITI.
tAssociated NEGRO Pressl

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 12.--One of the
conclusions reached by the Senatorial
Committee recently returned from in
vestigating conditions in Haiti was
that 1t will be necessary for the pres
emit to keep an armed force in that
Renuhlic.
In view Of the excellent service rem
dered By the 2tth Infantry in the
PHILIPPINES and the service rendered
by the 25th Infantry in Hawaii. why
would II not be an excellent idea to
send a contingent of Colored troops
to Haiti.
If the Government took this step
it would meet with the hearty APP
prevail and cooperation of the fifteen
million Black people of the United
States. 1t would be guarantee to
The people of Halti that the United
states Government meant to do the
proper thing by them.
1t has been suggested that the 9Th
Illinois Regiment composed entirely
of Colored troopers be given this
duty since that Regiment has recent
ly been Federalized.
Another recommendation was made
by the Senatorial Committee TO the
effect that a Commissioner general
or Governor be appointed over the
isls nd and in view of the mess that
the Military and Naval forces have
made of things in the island
Let us suggest that such post
should be given to some Colored man
of standing in the Uunited States.
