SHAKEUP REPORTED AMONG BALL CLUBS
Investigation Reveals Another Gigantic Scandal, It Is Said

Chicago, Dec. 21 LP-Intimation that baseball has had a new house. cleaning as drastic as that which outlawed eight stars from the games several years ago, are given in a story published in the Chicago Tribune today.
 The action, the Tr Sune says, came after months of investigation. But the paper declared that details of the investigation, reported to have been carried on by corps of de- tectives, the names of the players in- volved. and the league in which the reported shakeup occurred, had not been given out.
 Reporters who questioned Kene- saw NJ. Landis baseball commission CT, were unable to obtain any com mcnt on the rumored baseball stua- tion, beyond statement that the baseball head might have something to say tomorrow.
 I'm sorry that I cant discuss this matter - now" the newspaper quoted Landis. "Six men, men from all parts of the country. have asked the very question that you have ask ed. They put the questions to me this week and l told them nothing"
 Reporters then told Landis, the account continued, that rumors were flying thick and fast. That they were bound to come out, and that there were reports that the baseball head and club owners had acted de- cisively.
 Again Mir. Landis smiled and was silent.
 This is against my whole nature You know I've always acted frankly. You know I'm not afraid to tell the truth no matter whom it hurts. But l cant talk now"
 This question then was put to the commissioner: "Mr. Landis, tell us, when will you release these facts?''
 'lll tell you whether I can do so tomorrow at four o'clock" Mir. Landis said, The Tribune related.

PROMOTERS FIGHT
Illinois Athletic Commission May Have to Arbitrate Over Heavy weight Wrestling Match.

Chicago, Dec. 21 LP)-The Illinois athletic commission may have to ar bitrate between two promoters seek ing to hold the first important heavyweight wrestling match here this winter, bringing together Ed (Strangler) Lewis and Wayne Mum, the Nebraskan, who once separated Lewis from his championship.
 Two January wrestling dates have been granted the promoters, and each has one of the principals signed. If they do not get together at their conference today, the state commission likely will be called upon to decide between them. Jim Mullen. boxing promoter, says he holds Lewis contract. and Captain Peshmalyan, another matchmaker. claims he has Mum signed. Mu1- lens date is January 3, and the other is January 10.
 Mum was the cause of a cham pionship controversy that has ragged for three years. Lewis insists Munn's victory at Kansas City in March 1924, was illegal, because Mum threw him from the ring. Mum was declared winner lost the title short time later to Stanislaus Zbyszko at Philadelphia, and in turn it passed to Joe Stecher, scissors king.
 Stecher and Lewis failed to carry through their plans for a match at Los Angeles last September, so the title controversy still rages.

GUARDS
 PLAY IN ABERDEEN
Locals Meet ElmW0Od EndeeS at
 State Armory Saturday Night

The National Guard basketball team will start in on a busy week tomorrow night when 1t journeys to Meriden to meet Jack Curry's Meri- den Endees. Saturday night the team will battle the Elmwood Endees at the state armory in this city.
 The Guards, after their victory over Sam Pite's Collegians here last Saturday night are optimistic be- cause they feel that they have re- turned to the form that they showed at the beginning of the season in de- feating the Bristol Endees last years state champions, two straight games.
 In meeting the Meriden Endees, the locals are going up against the toughest proposition in this section. The game is made doubly hard by the fact that the Guards will be playing on a floor that is different from the regular courts. The Meri- armory and this bothers a great many basketball teams when they play in Meriden. The members of the local team, however, have played in Meriden on several occasions and with the team working in the per feet harmony which it showed last week, there isn't any reason at all to worry.
 Saturday night. another New De- parture team which has come to the fore this year as one of the best quintets in the state, will invade New Britain to attempt to lower the high flying colors of the Guards. There Is intense rivalry between the three plants of the New Departure Co. and each team is trying to estab- fish an imposing reputation for it. self before tackling the other two plant teams.
 The Elmwood team is strong or ganization and one that is being counted on to trim New Britain Gi- raitis and Mantelli. two former stars of the state championship Dixie team will be at forwards. Both of these men are well known here. l. Barton or Carl Restelli will be at center with Larson and J. Barton at guards. All of these players have been seen in action by local fans and when they come here, the Guards are going to have a busy time keeping in the lead
 4 large number of New Britain people are planning 10 go to Meriden in action. The locals will not lack for rooters in the Silver City.

 Breadon announced that he does not know yet who will be the next Cardinal manager and that he Twill give the matter much thought. do not intend to rush into the mat ter hurriedly."
 Among those linked in gossip as possible successors to Hornsby is Roger Bresnahan, a Giant coach. But Breadon said that he does not have an inside track to the job" and right now is not being consid- cred above the other men who will come in for consideration"
 Couldn't Reach Agreement
 The club president was outspolicn in his announcement that failure 10 agree with Hornsby whether he should have a onc-ycar or q three year contract was the cause of the trade. Breadon had offered the
 
 tract with yearly salary of S50,000 but Hornsby remained firm in his demand for a thrce-year term with the same remuneration. His salary had been S30,00G year, and his old contract still had a year to run.
 He stood pat on this demand" the president said, and l realized then that l would be unable 10 sign Hornshy to a managers contract, and that to protect the Cardinals interests l would be compelled to trade Hornsby.
 All Right With Hornsby
 Hornsby said that Tit doesn't look right to be traded from a club he had piloted to the worlds cham pionship but If. they want to trade me, it's all right with me-
 He intimated that the trade would not be the "cnd of the matter" but would not explain what he meant by the statement. The trade, he said, might be a pretty good exchange, but I don't know"
 Breadon, however, was more op- timistic.

Lcaguc Standing

A basketball battle that should take on all the proportions of q championship game will be fought out tonight on the Y. M, c. A. gym nasiuu floor in the New Britain h. dustrial Basketball league between the P. tS F. Corbin team which last week was tumbled from the lead by the Corbin Screw outfit, and the Stanley Rule X Level team which has won it's last two games.
 The Stanley Rule quintet started the season off with a make-shift lineup because several of the mem- bers of the present team were incl igible to play. Since the teams ros- ter was augmented by the addition of Arburr and Al Sloman who is a star forward on the National Guards the Rulers have been on the win ming side of the ledger and needless to say they plan to stay there right through the final drive.
 On the other hand, the P. & r. Corbin five tasted bitter defeat last Thursday night. In a game that was critical one, the team went to pieces, flashing none of its old time form. Most of the spectators there who were in any critical form of mind, felt that the players appeared to be stale and this caused them to slump. The members of the team are confident that they have shaken off the lethargy which attacked them last week and tonights game will result in victory for them.
 With the two squads feeling the way they do, there is bound to be clash that will be well worth watching. This is the first night of the second half of the schedule and 8 large crowd is expected to turn out to watch the game. Games in the league will be played on Tuesday nights only Curing the second half.
 The second game of the night will find the Stanley Works battling the New Britain Machine. The Ma chiners are anxious to pull through with YictL v at least once during the year and they figure tonight will be just the time for them to break through the ice and register win. The Stanley Works has been play ing great game and is rated as one Of the best defensive teams in the league. Coach Jack Pelletier has been working hard with his charges to develop an offensive and he has succeeded to a remarkable degree.
