BY NEA Service
New York, Dec. 16.-Manager
Miller Higgins has definitely set to
rest rumors that Waite Hoyt might
be included in trade for Shocker
Of st. Louis.
"Hoyt, Jones and Pennock" are
veteran pitchers who will again be
with the Yankees" is the way Hug
gins puts it.
That would make it seem that
both Bush and Shawkey are on the
market. These two veterans are
slipping fast and didn't do very we'll
last season.
incidentally Higgins cleared up
another doubtful point in his lineup
by stating that Earl Combs would
positively start in center field if he
showed he had entirely recovered
from the broken leg Of last year.

UnquoStionably the brand of pro-

The professional teams as a re

If these players are properly con-

no reason why the standard of play

Both New York clubs have habit
of turning players loose and then
being willing to take them back at
fancy figures.
Urban Shocker, star pitcher of the
st. Louis Browns, is a definite case.
Handed to that team for almost the
taking, the Yankees are now anxious
to jar loose with lot of money for
his return.
Shocker is dissatisfied at St. Louis,
unable to give his best efforts and
is certain to be traded if any club
