WANTS PLAYERS
FOR TERRY
By EDDIE HURLEY

BOSTON, Dec. 29.-Bfll Terry,
first baseman Of the New York
Giants, will be ratified off to the
highest bidder.
But McGraw wants players in
exchange-not money.
In fact the boss of the Giants is
so desperate in his search for an
outfielder that he has been forced
to put Terry on the auction block.
Judge Fuchs, Of the Braves, al.
ready has entered the bidding for
the player. The Pittsburgh Pirates
and the Cincinnati Reds also have
made flattering offers for the srnil-
ing first sacker.
Here's the story:
George Kelly, the Giants great
versatile player, is losing his EFF.
fectiveness, being shifted here and
there every other day. Kelly wants
to return to first base. And Nc.
Graw wants him at the initial sta
tion, too.
And when Kelly returns to the
job, Memphis Biz Terry Is simply
out Of work, for Terry can play
first base but that let's him out.
He's too valuable slugger to be
allowed to loaf on the bench and
II McGraw lands an outfielder. 1t
means that Terry viii go.
Terry's batting would make him
more valuable to the Braves than
Dick Burrus, for Memphis Bill Is
considered a sweet hitter.

BUNNEL[ BACKS
YALE COACHES

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 3s.-
Decision by Capt. Phil Bunnell, Of
the Yale football eleven to name
the same coaches which developed
the eleven Of last fall has fore
stalled as acute discussion of
football coaching an Harvard has
just passed through.
Critics of the last season were
preparing to launch attacks at both
the coaching system Of 1926 and at
some of the coaches, and to demand
an investigation into Yale's loss Of
the Princeton game ana the tie de-
cision with Harvard.
Bunnell's determination to reap
point the coaching staff that
handled the eleven the past fall has
headed off all these flank attacks.
It establishes the fact that the
movement to install an associate
coach OF the rank Of Jack Owsley
would fail.
Some Of the graduates who feel
this should be done wished to OBJ
tain the return Of Owsley. who
successfully handled the rather in
different material at the Naval
Academy in the past season, and
who may return there, although
several other colleges are bidding
for his services. Other alumni
wish to see Bill Mallory, Yale's
most successful captain since the
world war, at Yale as coach.
Bunnell's decision to stand pat on
his coaching squad has stifled a
Of criticism.
Until the plans Of Ray Pond are
known for next fall 1t cannot be
certain that he can return, but he
will probably obtain the consent Of
the Hotchiss School at Lakev1lle
again to return to Yale to aid in
Myron Fuller will decline q fiat
tering Midwest offer to become
head coach to return to Yale as
line coach. Charley Comerford
wished to give his entire attention
to business, but will instead again
handle the Yale end squad.
Winslow Lovejoy will direct the
center candidates. He will be In
the Yale law school two years more.
Ted Blair and Marvin Stevens
are in the medical school and will
be available, Blair for tackle and
Stevens for the halfback coaching.
Pond will be given charge Of the
scrub squad.
Head Coach Tad Jonesrwill again
be in general charge of the strategy.
For three seasons, until last fall,
Owsley was his chief lieutenant.

The inimitable Walter Hagen,
king of the professional golfers of
The world, may be seen in Wash
ington as a steady fixture within
the next few months. The svelt
car of the professional world is
headed for the berth formerly occu-
pied by Jimmy Crabb at the luxu-
rious Congressional Country Club,
according to Dame Rumor.
Club officials today said that
they knew nothing definitely Of
Hagen's reported offer to the
club. They did say that in the
event he wanted to come here he
would be welcomed with open
arms.
Hagen, who has held every golf
title worth a hang, is now in
Florida where he is president Of a
gof club. His rumored prefer to
take over the golf affairs of Con-
Gressional Is conditional upon Just
two things: He Is to receive all
the money he can make teaching,
and he Is to get the profit from ali
golf sales.

heving the club Of the burden of

that he was unaware Of any Of.

Next June a hundred years will
have passed since Michael Faraday
announced to the Royal society his
discovery of benZine.
Faraday made benzine for the first
time in the laboratory of the Royal
institution. where today Sir William
Eragg continues the great search
after truth in other directions.
Benzine has been one of our
greatest benefactors. but the chemis-
try of the new compounds it intro
duced has proved the curse of civili-
zation. Benzine is easily converted
into carbolic acid, the valuable
antiseptic that saves thousands of
lives, but turn of the wheel in
the chemists laboratory will convert
carboic acid into n dangerous eX-
plosive. and the study of such explo-
sive compounds. in many of which
benzine is the starting point, has
led to the methods of destruction
which form the great tragedy of
