RUTH, HORNSBY,
OTHER STARS TO
GO TO EUROPE
McGraw All Enthused
Over Trip to Europe,
Australia
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Dee. 26.-Babe
Ruth, Rogers Hornsby and G num-
her of other star ball players prob
ably will be invited to join the
New York Giants and the Chicago
White Sox when John McGraw
takes them to Europe next fall.
Following the suggestion of John
A. Heydler, president Of the Ma
tional League it may be that the
McGraw plans will be altered and
instead d, of the Giants and tho
White Sox, a team of picked stars
from the National and American
Leagues will be sent on the tour.
Believing that Europeans should
be the best of all the players, it is
certain that Ruth and Hornsby
will be asked to go, and Eddie
Roush, Harry Heilman and other
leading players will also be invited.
McGraw has become so steamed
up with the prospects of missiona-
ry work that he is now figurin.
not only on taking two teams to
Australia after the 1925 pennant
races but he has an idea he might
be able to promote a regular league
in Australia.
McGraw S plans for the European
trip next fall will have to be APP
proved by Commissioner Lands and
it is understood that the advisory
council will be asked to pass upon
the proposition.
There is no doubt that Lands
will not only approve the trip but
he will do some pushing himself.
McGraw wants to take the commits
sioner on the trip with him.
