Colonel Huston Explains That

NEW york, Feb. Major
league club owners no longer will
dispose Of anything or anybody for
a price," according to the views
of Col. T. L. Huston, half owner of
the New York Yankees, and he
gives this as one Of the reasons
trading and selling of bali players
has been anything but brisk during
the current off-season. To date,
precisely five deals, and those of but
slight Importance, have been con-
summated between major league
clubs, and the colonel thinks he has
the answer.
With the possible exception Of
consistent tail-enders, nearly every
club in baseball has made money
during the last three or four years"
he says. I'm consequence, they
are not harassed by financial obliga-
lions, and have become independent
Of what offers the richer clubs may
make them.
"It is harder to put over a trade
nowadays than it has ever been be-
fore. This is due to two condi-
tons. The first, Of course, is the
fact that all clubs, or nearly all
Of them, are making money. The

dispose of certain player. who Is
better than the average. He natu-
rally wants to get value received; in
fact, is so wary that when you Of
fer him a legitimate proposition, he
doubts your good faith, and thinks
there is a joker in. it somewhere.
Finally, he decides to let well
enough alone and keep the player
himself"
The coloners point seems to be
we'll taken. at least if one is to
judge from the results obtained
since the close of the 1922 season.
In almost an entire winter Of ru-
mored trades and deals the fol-
lowing non-essential transfers be-

If Jack Smith, of Eastern, had

written up" as q crack free-g0al

Ordinarily, Jack is a star at the
foul line, but was off form when
Central knocked off his team yes

four straight games. Young Smith
pitched one into the basket In three
attempts and then was replaced en-
the lob by O'Deaa
although Eastern had not been
aefeAted and Central had won only
one game in four, the Blue ana
Whites victory was not entirely
unexpected. Central has improved
steadily.
1T is general opinion that Gen.
trial could develop even greater
scoring strength by passing more
and laying off long shots.
Western : outclassed Business,
which last week was heralded as
the team that would give Eastern
its stiffest competition. George
Green evidently has drilled into the
Western basketers that more goals
can be made by working the ball
NJ close range than by shooting
from distance. even though the
latter style offers more opportuni-
ties, to heave for the basket.
Westerns style Is in contrast
: with CenfraE's. Frisby shot five
field goals and McNulty and
and none of them was from o dis

skill than its score would Indicate.
No less than five times an East
ern player shot successfully for
the basket just as the whistle blew
and each time the goal was ruled
out. Tommy Hook, the spirited
Eastern forward, was unlucky three
times I'm this respect.
What might have been discourag-
