counted for circuit clouts, 46 were

In the center field he made 444

Ten of the errors, however, were
made during the latter part of the
season when the manager of the
crippled Drillers placed him on the
second bag. Najo was "out OF his
element" so to speak, for a few
games. and the list OF errors led
up against him.

Grange May Be
Able to PLAY Saturday

Pittsburgh, Dec. 10-(AP)-Harold
Red" Grange was hopeful tonight
that he would be able again to take
the football field Saturday in the
game at Detroit despite injuries he
suffered in today's game between the
Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh
ALL Stars.
While Grange was confined to his
hotel room under the care of a ply
stefan, George Halas, manager of the
Bears, said he expected Grange to be
able to resume playing in three or
four days. DR.. Gustav Berg, physi-
clan of the Pittsburgh Baseball club,
was not so optimistic, stating a be-
lief that the star player would not be
able to again get into the game for
two weeks or a month.
Because of Oranges injury the
other players on the team decided to
remain overnight here for their first
nights rest in more than a week.
The Bears have played in seven
games in the last nine days and have
been travelling most of the time when
they were off the playing field. Z
The team win make a daylight trip
TO Detroit tomorrow and both Grange
and Halas insisted there was every
expectation that the red-head would
be in the. party. Definite plans, how.
ever, awaited physicians examina-
uon tomorrow morning.

High School Hoop
Squad to Try Out
New Basketball Rules

The new basketball rules will be
clearly demonstrated on Thursday
night, next at the Augusta Y. NJ. c.
A., when two teams composed of
Cony High school players put on a
practice game for the benefit of
players and officials who desire to
attend. Prominent officials will re-
fierce the game and will explain the
new rules so that all may get a clear
conception of their application.
In addition a denomination of
the most common fouls will be given
and particular attention will be paid
to an explanation of the way to
avoid making these fouls. After the
demonstration the meeting will be
opened for the purpose of answer
ing any questions pertaining to the
rules Of the game and to the avoid
ance of fouls. 1t Is believed that
such course will be appreciated by
the players of high school, indus
trial and other teams and by those
who referee such games, as It Is
realized that the majority of fouls
which are committed are not by de-
liberate intent, but rather through
an oversight on the part of the
player.

ton Herald tomorrow will say that
the disappointing showing made by
Red" Grange and his Chicago
Bears against the Providence Steam
Rollers was due to dissension among
The Chicago players, apparently due
TO their jealousy over the fortune

THE Grizzlies were growing
among themselves, the Herald will
say. They neglected to select their
words when they wanted to stir a
companion. There was nothing en-
dearing in their terms. 1t was
Grange this and Grange that.
That was your fault. Grange That

lection. Red wasn't given half a
