Washington Gets College
Shortstop and Starts
Rumors Buzzing.

What may be regarded as a threat
against the Yankees came about yester-
day when Detroit made a trade with
Washington which made Ray Francis.
the promising young iefthander.
Ttger II seems quite likely that con-
siderable cash figured in the deal-and
that It went to Clark Grffith's ex-,
chequer. =
All Detroit gave to the Senators, ac-
cording to the announcement. was Chick
Gagnon. the '1Sjd" shortstop who came
TO the Tigers last July from Holy Cross
College. Ty Cobb planted Gagnon in
Rochester for a spell and then called
HIM back. Francis was one OF the most
promising of the young pitchers of 1922.
Cobb needed lefthander badly and
now presents a formidable hurting
array.
Griffith's giving up pitcher OF the
promise OF Francis for Gagnon started
the rumor factory buzzing. What is
Griffith planning to do with Roger
Peckinpaugh?" they asked along the
baseball Rialto. 1t was said that Peck
inpaugh would figure in three cor
rered deal among the Yankees. White

Huggins Losing Hope.
At a late hour last night Miller Hug
gins said that he had about given up
hope OF getting Eddie Collins from the
White Sox. He had another confer
ence with Kid Gleason and Lou Comis-
key and for the sixteenth time In two
days came away with a dubious shak,
Ing of his head. Those Chicago men
make me laugh. They are getting
worse and WORSE" said the Miller. IF
they hang around another few days
they will want Babe Ruth thrown into
the deal. I think that the thing is
hopeless"
Collins himself went to Tarrytown to
see his folks. The Chicago bunch re-
manned over last night and will have
another Of those conferences with the
Yankee officials to-day. Col. Rupert
said last evening. II am conferenced
groggy." Ed Barrow wore pessimistic
look. But deal bringing Peckinpaugh
into action may solve the problem.
Early in the evening a report was
circulated that the Yankees had paid
$4,000 to Baltimore for Joe Boley. the
shortstop. Nothing to it." said Hug
gins, Barrow and Rupert. I'VE had
some conversation with Jack Dunn about
Boley at Louisville. but nothing has been
said since" added Higgins Dunn is

Magnates Find Commodore
Corridor Carpets Soothing
on Royal Dogs.
ny w. o. McGEEHAN.

At the conclusion OF the joint meet
ing of the magnates OF the American
and National leagues yesterday. the
Hotel Commodore was unofficially in
dorsed as the perpetual site Of joint
meetings. 1t was discovered by ha-
bitual attendants at baseball mag
nates' meetings that the floors OF the
Commodore are easier on the feet than
any others.
This discovery was made by Cousin
Egbert Barrow, business manager OF
the New York Yankees, who has been
cooling his heels and other parts Of
his feet at various meetings of mag
mates from st. Louis to New York.
after Mr.. Barrow had parked his feet
on one Of the velvet carpets in the
corridors OF the Commodore This is
his fourth magnates' meeting in a
weeks time.
II was sure that my dogs could not
hold out" observed Cousin Egbert, as
he settled his weary feet "If this car
pet hadn't been here 1 would have
weakened. The other hotels may have
attractions, but the main strain of q
baseball meeting is on the feet and not
on the head" This sentiment was in
dorsed instantly by veteran habitues of
magnates' meetings and unless the other
hotels do something in the way of cor
ridor carpeting they will not draw the
meetings..
More UnfOunded RumOrs.
Rumors We're circulated TO the effect
that Charles Ebbets, the Squire of Flat
bush, and Mr.. Cornelius McGillicuddy of
Philadelphia were about to start a
spending contest to put their teams back
into their respective leagues. This re-
called the story of Federal League days
when Harry Sinclair offered to stand
beside Col. Jacob Rupert of the
Yankees and throw dollar for dollar
with him into the ocean.
The modern version was that Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy and Squire Ebbets were about
to start throwing dime for dime into
the bay. The canard was denied by Mr..
Ebbets.
The hour set for the meeting was
something Of a shock to the magnates

The Iron Hat Entrains.

Col. Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Hus-
toms was one of the faces missing
around the council table when the mag
mates finally were rolled into the meet
ing room only half hour late. Col.
Huston, dusting the SHOWS of New York
city from his brogans. boarded the train
for Cincinnati to avoid further fare
wells and to get out OF range OF the
obituaries that are being written on his
baseball career.
1t Is significant fact that the Colonel
was wearing an iron hat as he ned
through the Pennsylvania Station. This
leads to the circulation of a rumor that
he may yet return to organized baseball.
Otherwise why should he be wearing the
headgear OF offense? The iron hat Is
probably the most offensive headgear in
the game.
Mr.. Barney Dreyfuss. proprietor OF the
Pittsburgh Pirates, was looking bit
sad as' he assembled for the meeting.
He had been to see Hamlet" the night
before and the effect seemed to have
been depressing.
II don't care who wrote It," said Mr..
Dreyfuss. "But the fellow knew some
thing about running baseball club. In
the beginning everything is all right,
but in the end everybody is dead and
everything is shot to pieces. just like the
Pittsburgh baseball team at the end of
the series. / should be around getting
sorry for fellows like Hamlet when ]
am owning the Pirates"

weather conditions for world series COM
petition before game/is started shall
be decided hereafter not by the umpire
but by the commissioner after consulta-
ton with an accredited representative
of the home club.
The drafting and waiver rules were
amended. The draft will be started
hereafter on the day before the first
game of the world series in the city
where the contest Is to be played. The
leagues kept hot on the trail OF cut
ting down travelling expenses. The
waiver rule was changed so that any
club which claims player must take
him If the request for waivers Is not
rescinded within forty-eight hours after
the claim is made. Heretofore both
clubs had five days leeway. and club
which claimed man could refuse to
take him.
A fixed salary for umpires in world
and city series was adopted. The four
men who work in a world series will
receive $4,000 each--that as against
$1,000 which was paid to the umpires
of the 1922 series. City series umpires
will get $500 each.
On behalf of the Eastern. Southern
and Texas leagucs-all class A-Dan
O'Neill presented a plea that the draft
price be raised from $4,000 to $4,000.
Naturally this was refused. However, a
concession was made TO the minors.
Heretofore the major league club draft
ing a man paid half the price at once
and handed over the other half or the
player himself by May !. The full
drafting price now will have to be paid
Immediately.
No Agreement ON Opening.
The Joint meeting reached no agree
ment on the date for opening the season.
The National League has fixed 1t at

1t will be up to the joint schedule com
mittee to iron out that difference. The
question of abolishing the fluke home

tance at which four bagger may be

which will meet before February 10

[ of an international memorial of greater usefulness than that which has been planned by the nations of the world to commemorate the great Humanitarian work of an Alabamian, Surgeon General William Crawford Gorgas, physician to the world.
 South More Interested
 Tt is fitting that a great memorial should be erected to him by all the nations of the world. The south more than any other section of the United States, will be interested in this memorial to General Gorgas. because our people have profted most by his achievements, and we Will receive the greatest benefits from the memorial which will be es- tablished in his honor. The people of the south will never forget that it was an A1abamian who for the first time freed Havana and the canal zone from yellow fever, be- cause those who can remember two or more decades will recall the all most yearly epidemics of Yellow jack that visited our gulf and Att lantic cities. paralyzing the com merce of the south during the sum mer and autumn months almost every year.
 We of the south shall not forget what Gorgas did for us, and as a matter of simple gratitude we should do most to establish a great memorial to him; and we should be interested in the proposed memorial because if successful 1t will do more for the agricultural and industrial development of the southern states than anything which has been done since the eradication of yellow fever from Cuba and Panama. General Gorgas himself saw this when he said, With the elimination of trop- ical diseases the tropics will become the future centers of industry and population of the world Before this comes true. as it surely will be- come true In the centuries to come. the south will be the agricultural and industrial center of the United States. General Gorgas proved his assertion that it Is cheaper to live and protect ones family from trop- ioal diseases than to buy fuel and against the cold winters of the north
 "The proposed Gorgas memorial will consist of two complimentary institutions. i. C., the Gorgas Me moriai Institute of Tropical and Pre- ventive Medicine In Panama and the Gcrgas School of Sanitation at Tus- caloosa. The institute in Panama, which was the scene of his greatest achievement, will be largely for re- search work in tropical diseases, place where men from the medical schools and laboratories from all over the world may go to study the life history of and develop methods for preventing tropical diseases; while the school at Tuscaloosa, the home of General Gorgas, and near the spot where his father and mother arc buried. will be for the purpose of training practical sanitarians for which there is great need at this time.

RUSHTON TOFIGHT
 FOR STATE RATES
To Assist Attorney General to Preserve Alabama Intra-
 state Rate Fabric
] dnv the rates authorized under

The day the rates authorized under the Interstate Commerce eommis- sion's recent decision are published. that day the state of Alabama will file injunction proceedings in tho federal courts seeking the prever- ton of their application and asking postponement until the case can be heard on it's merits.
 Ray Rushton, capital city lawyer, will act as special counsel for the state, assisting Attorney General Harwell G. Davis.
 The decision will be attacked from many angles, including Jurisdiction, discrimination and the like.
 Decision to take this step was taken following conference at Mont gomery yesterday between state of ficIaIs, including the public service commission. and representatives of Birmingham Traffic bureau and Chamber of Commerce. 0. l.. Bum, E. A. Porter and E. Wilkinson pre- scented the Birmingham shippers view, which favors the injunction.
 The decision in this celebrated case Is that rates from Meridian to points in Alabama within two hundred miles from Meridian shall not be higher than rates from point to point In Alabama in the same territory. Alabama's intrastate rates are lower than those from Meridian, hence the decision allows the raising of the in- trastRte rates and thus attacks the entire Alabama intrastate rate fabric.
 Decision applies only to the South ern and allied lines, because they only, are parties in the case, hence other roads could continue charging intrastate rates within the prescribed territory. The decision creates aa endless confusion, declare traffic bureau officials.
 "I believe In fighting as long as we have fighting ground" said o. L. Bum on return from Montgomery. If we lose after exhausting every effort we shall have at least the satisfaction of not having quit until there was nothing else to do.'
