NEW YORK, Nov. Although
che silence is rather deafening
right at this moment, there is
every Indication that trading viii
be brisk and somewhat boisterous
before the start Of another major
league campaign. In fact, condi-
tions are such in several camps
as to preclude the possibility that
all clubs will GO to the barrier,

The Giants, for one. are due for

1t Is no star chamber secret that
the man McGraw really Graves is
Eddie Roush. He needs q fast,
hard-hittfng outfielder. However,
he also needs several pitchers and
q catcher who can get or his own
tnstep. There WIN be something on
the fire here before the end Of the
winter.
An even earlier moment win

and Cobb probably will be pleased
to accept the best offer.
Then, also, there is all of this
1oose-hpped talk about the Senators
trading Peckinpaugh and Goslin to
Boston. Washington men deny
that the Senators feel the need OF
a new shortstop for 1896 Yet

gulp. He really seems to have
slipped.
About Goslin's case, the writer
knows little except what has

difficulties with the management.
As ball player, however, GosIin
has most Of his life before him.
