Fireworks Cause of Several Blazes- Youth Risks Injury To Save Child Children Light Crackers on Papa's Cigar, One Hurt,

New Britain had a safe and sane celebration of Independence Day, with comparatively few accidents resulting from the use of fireworks and firearms, and only one serious fire over the weekend. Although there were the usual intermittent rackets in various sections Of the city on Saturday and Sunday, there was little disturbance until about midnight Sunday and even then the sleep disturbing noise of 'the good old days" was moi in evidence.
 Throughout the day and night yesterday, young folks enjoyed themselves to their hearts contest with their sons O runs," Roman candles, sparklers, sky rockets, cap pistols, blank cartridge pistols and various other implements Of noise making. and their elders, too. drop ped their dignified bearing for the day and took part in the celebration.
 Thousands of New Britain resi- dents were away over the week end. Automobiles and trains carried the caravan, beginning as early as Fri day evening. The greatest exodus was on Saturday afternoon. Despite the heavy traffic. there were few ac- cidents in this vicinity, and the str"nls of New Britain were unus- uaIly free from collisions.
 Fire Crackers Set Fires
 X fire cracker is said to have been 'he cause Of a fire yesterday in a r0o-family dwelling owned by Charles M Peterson at 3T-39 Linden street. Damage estimated by Chief w. J. Noble at $S,oo0 was done, much of it being by water.
 II is believed that a fire cracker found it's way into partition, as the entire upper part of the house was in flames before he danger was dis covered and when the tiremen ar rived in response to an alarm from Box PIT al 1:3S o'clock. it seemed impossible to save the building. Co. No. 3 was called by telephone, shortly before the alarm was sound ed.
 Five lines of hose were laid and water was poured in on all sides. James Wright, who occupies one of the tenemeDts, allowed his fire insnr- ance to expire about a month ago. His furniture was badly damaged by smoke and water.
 An ash box in the rear of 5o2 Elm street, owned by Edward Was, took fire yesterday afternoon. The dam ago was slight, but nearby houses were threatened for time. An alarm was sounded from Box 425.

THE REAL FACTS

Had a very interesting chat the
other day with K. E. Davis, gradu-
ate manager of athletics at Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh. No. one is more
puzzled than he at the rumors rela-
tive to Pitts slim attendance, also
the ballyhoo for the return of Glenn
Warner as coach.
pitt has played to 250,000 people
during the past season. 1 seriously
doubt if more than two or three
other teams have played to greater
aggregate total.
''It has appeared in print that only
1000 people attended our game with
Carnegie Tech. That was a real
blunder on someone's part, for the
paid attendance that day was close
to the 10000. mark.
Our smallest crowd of the year
was 10 900 with Westminster, while
our biggest was the Penn State game
which drew close to $4,000.
Certainly those figures do no.

sUrHERLAND,s RECORD

In these days of high pressure
football, when university having
a big stadium fails to draw the
crowds, there is always a demand for
change in coaches.
Coath Sutherland who succeeded
Glenn Warner, and who absorbed his
football under that learned gentle
man, has been doing very good
job of it at Pitt.
One year ago, he went through the
season with only one defeat, that at
the hands of Lafayette, where he
formerly coached.
He. decfsively defeated Pitts three
greatest rivals, Penn State, West
Virginia and Washington and JEFF
ferson.
Incidentally, the Warner stuff is ILL
timed, since it is understood he has
signed with Stanford for five more
years.

TRADE CONFIRMED


NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-(P-Secretary
James Tierney of the New York Giants
tonight confirmed announcement of a
player exchange with the st. Louis
Cardinals under which Rogers Hornsby,
star second baseman and manager of
the worlds champions. will come here
in exchange for Infielder Frank Frisch
and Pitcher Jimmy Ring.
The trade was accepted as the big
gest in the history of modern baseball
involving players estimated to be
worth more than $500,000. Hornsby's
worth was placed at 100000, both the
Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers having
offered quarter of a million for him
two years ago Frisch and Ring to-
gether were priced at the same figure.
Informed of the trade, Hornsby said:
IF they want to trade me, it's all
right with me, but it doesn't look right
that I should be traded from club
that 1 just managed to a world cham
pionship gave the Cardinals all L
had and I asked for a contract that
1 believed / was entitled to. However,
1 do not believe the mere trade is the
end of the matter"
He declined to amplify the last re-
mark, but regarding the trade, said:
II guess it might be a pretty good ex-
change; / don't know. I don't like to
comment on it,"
Breadon said he did not have new
manager for the Cardinals in mind.
"Right now 1 do not know who will
be the next { ardinal manager" he as
serted Before I sign another man
ager / will give the matter much
thought.
II do not intend to rush into the
matter hurriedly, as I realize the inn
portance of signing the right man."
Roger Bresnahan, Giant coach, men
toned in rumors as being considered
for the post of new Cardinal leader,
will be considered" Breadon said,
but so will many other baseball men.
Bresnahan has no inside track to the
Job, and right now is not being consid-
cred above the other men who will
come in for consideration.
Il always have wanted to play in st.
Louis Hornsby said after the confer
ence. "My friends and my FAMILY are
here and my home is here. | cannot
forget the great reception and support
given. to me and the Cardinals when we
won the pennant and the series ana L
still feel I would prefer to play in ST
Louis.
"However, do not think that one
year contract is fair contract to offer
a man who has done what I have done
and that is why have declined to ac-
cept it.
"Breadon said he was sorry we could
not reach an agreement, and am sorry
Also"
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-12-21

Breadon announced that the trade
was made because of his failure to
reach@an agreement with Hornsby over
a contract at another meeting today,
in which Hornsby asked for a three
year contract and Breadon stood pat
on a one year document. The meeting
was the second discussion over the
contract in two weeks.
No money was involved in the trade,
Breadon said.
II believe it to be- a good trade"
Breadon said I'VE get a star second
get a first string pitcher to fill first
string gap that has been on our club.
l closed the deal with Stoneham, presi-
dent of the New York club.
II realize that it is a sensational
trade, but it had to come. 1 did my
best to reach a contract settlement
with Hornsby, but I learned at the
conference with Hornsby today that a
settlement was impossible. I offered
what 1 considered a very fair contract
Hornsby still had year to run on his
contract, which was at 100000 a year
in 1925 and 1926. desired to combine
this contract with new terms to cover
the season of 1929 and to increase
Hornsby's. salary $4,000. from $4,000
to s5O,OOO.
"Hornsby turned down this offer. He
still insisted on three-year contract,
and he asked for $15O,OOO for three
years. He said he would stand pat on
this demand and l realized then that
1 would be unable to sign Hornsby to
a managers contract and that to pro-
tect the Cardinals interests | would
be compelled to trade Hornsby.
II am very sorry that I could not
come to terms with Hornsby but there
was no further use in dickering and I
felt the best thing 1 could do was to
make the best trade I could get for
him"

INJUSTICE TO PITT

+ Dame Rumor has been mighty un-
fair to the University of Pittsburgh
football team of late, particularly as
to attendance.
1t has been freely circulated that
Pitt hasn't been drawing very well
this season, due to the fact that the
the team has met with varying sue
cess.
While Pittsburgh was defeated by
Lafayette and Carnegie Tech, it in
turn defeated West Virginia and
Penn State was trimmed 24-6, while
Washington and jefferson.
The last three named teams are
bitter rivals of Pitt and success
against them such as the Panthers
attained the past season, in itself
makes everything thai has gone be-
fore all right.
West Virginia was beaten 17-7.
Pen nState was trimmed 24-6, while
Washington and jefferson was held
to a scoreless tie.
