ankee Pilot Would
Strengthen Team if
Opportunity Offered

New York, Dec. 3-Miller Huggins,
diminutive pilot of the worlds cham
pion New York Yankees, declared to-
day that while he expected to stand
pat on his present lineup for the 1924
campaign, he was open to any deal
which might strengthen the club.
Higgins asserted he would bid for
the services of Urban Shocker. st.
Louis pitcher, if the Browns put him
on the market. but declined to dis
close what offer he might make.
Higgins traded Shocker to st. Louis
in 1918.
Waivers have been asked on Carl
Mays, it was revealed by Higgins,
who said that all American League
clubs had waived but that three Ma
tional League teams had filed claims
for the "submrine BALI twirler. 1t
is possible the Yankees may arrange
a deal which will send Mays, to the
senior circuit. where Higgins be-
lieves, he might regain his effective
ness.
The Yankee leader, who returned
to New York today for the first time
since the worlds series, said he also
was in the market for a right handed
hittin outfielder.
The Yankees probably will train
again at New Orleans where they
have conditioned for the past two
wears, Higgins intimated. He added.
however, that San Antonio and
Shreveport, La, were also being con-
sidered.
The Yankee pilot will attend the
baseball meetings in Chicago next
week and then go to st. Petersburg
Fla, for the winter.

on Two Charges
in Municipal Court

Charles Vashon was sentenced on
two charges in the municipal court
yesterday morning and his brother
Frank Vashon is on trial at the pres
ent time, his case having been con-
tinued until today as the result of
the street brawl Sunday afternoon
when it is alleged that both men as
saulted Officer Louis Rancourt while
he was arresting Charles Vashon on
a charge of drunkenness.
Charles Vashon pleaded not guilty
to assault of an officer and guilty to
charge of intoxication. Judge
Atchely gave him a hne of $40 and
costs of $779 on the first count and
he paid. On the second the Judge
gave him a straight so day Jail SEN
tence which he appealed and fur
nished 500 bonds for his appearance
In the Superior court at Augusta
next January.
Frank Vashon pleaded not guilty
to assault of an officer and his trial
started yesterday afternoon. All of
the evidence of the state was submit
ted but the trial was continued until
today in order that more witnesses
for the defense may be called. James
Boyle represented both respondents.
The case against Charles Vashon
was tried yesterday morning. Will
liam H. Murray, chief of police was
the first witness and testified to
swearing out the warrant and to be-
ing the complainant.
Officer Louis Rancourt was the
next witness and he testified to see
Ing Charles Vashon on the street
about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon
wearing a small boys cap and act
ing foolish. He told Vashon to get
off the street and he did for the time
being but appeared again about $50
and was ordered off the street again
and threatened with arrest. When he
appeared again about o'clock Off
Ger Rancourt arrested him and after
battle subdued the prisoner and
pulled the box for the patrol. Just
about that time Frank Vashon came
along and the battle started all over
again. and lasted until the patrol
wagon arrived with re-enforcements.
Charles Vashon admitted on the
stand to taking a few drinks but

| claimed that officer Rancourt jump
ed on him all at once. When Vashon

Rancourt in the shins, Officer RAN

court to disprove Cashon's belief.
Vashon stated his brother came

to go along and mind his business.
The case ended here and the Judge
gave out his decision.
In the afternoon at the trial of
i Frank Vashon for assault on Officer

witness gave the same testimony as
at the trial in the morning.

Berlin Butchers
Reduce Prices After
Threat Food Minister

Berlin, Dec. 3.-The first welcome
signs of cheaper living In Germany
became apparent today when the
butchers reduced meat prices from
20 to 30 percent as a result of the
action of the food minister, who on
Friday last told representatives of
the meat trade that severe measures
would be adopted If profiteering
continued:
The process of reducing prices
was partly assisted by the gradual
coming into circulation of more
Rentehmarks, the new paper notes
issued on a gold basis, thus enabling
the breeders to dispose of their cat
tie and receive in return a relative
ly stable currency.
Fish and vegetables also had a
cheaper tendency today and at
tempts will Immediately follow to
enforce lower prices for bread, milk
and other inland produce which is
unlikely to come down except under
dictatorial pressure. Foreign pro-
duce on the other hand. the experts
say. cannot be expected to follow
suit until German exchange shows
material improvement.

Petition Long Co.
in Bankruptcy

Boston, Mass, Dec. 3.-An 1nVoi-
untary petition in bankruptcy was
filed in the federal district court late
today against the r. H. Long Com
pany, of which Richard H. Long
of birmingham, former Democratic
candidate for governor, is head. The
petitioners were three creditors with
small claims-Emilie r. Poirler,
Salem. 1913 for insurance.; Saul Sill
YER, Beverly. $155 for merchandise:
and Sholtz G.. Dawson. Salem. $155
for merchandise. They charged
preferential payment of money to
another creditor last November.
when they alleged the company was
insolvent.
A creditors committee reported
last week that the affairs of the
company and its subsidiaries, the r.
H. Long Shoe Company and the r.
H. Long Motor Company, had been
placed in the hands of a firm of in
dustrial engineers. The report said
that lack of liquid assets was the
principal, difficulty of the company
and that the committee believed
creditors would fare better by avoid
ing q receivership.

Hurler ShOcker
Carries Free Agent
Fight to Lands

! Chicago, Dec. 3-(By A. P.)-Ur-
ban Shocker of the st. Louis Browns
one of the greatest pitchers in the
American League, today carried his
| fight to be declared free agent to
Commissioner Lands, declaring Of
! Iicials of his club had refused him
permission to have his wife accom-
pany him on their eastern trips.
Shocker was fined $1,000 and sus-
fused to join the Browns on their
last eastern trip after being denied
permission to take his wife. along.
Shocker asks that Commissioner
Lands have the $1,000 fine refunded,
his salary paid from September IL
to the end of the season and he be
declared free agent.
The st. Louis pitcher, who won 20
games and lost II during the 1928
season, appeared before Commission
err Lands with his attorney, Jerome
+. Dugan of st. Louis, while Attor-
ney S. w. Swarth, and Business
Manager William Freil, represented
the Browns. After two hours argu-
ment. Commissioner Lands request
ed the Browns attorney to file an
answer to Shocker's charges with the
understanding that the pitchers at
torney would be given time to offer
testimony in rebuttal.
Attorney Swarth contended for
the Browns that q rule was in effect
that no player could take his wife on
any trip. This was countered by the.
assertion that along the way the
wives of other players had joined
the team although they did not
travel on the same train as the
team.
Stripped of its legal verbiage. the
case simmered down to the question
whether a club had a right to dis
cipline a player as it saw fit.
1t was strongly intimated that
should Commissioner Lands rule
against him. Shocker would carry
the case into court
