LANDS REFUSES TO DENY
RUMOR OF DRASTIC STEPS
Judge Says He May Have Something Today in Re.

Taken After Long Investigation.

By the Associ ated Press.
~ HICAGO, December 21.-Inti-
nations that base ball has
had q new housekeeping as
~ drastic as that which out
lawed eight stars from the
game several years ago, are given in
story published in the Chicago Trib-
une today.
The action, the Tribune says came
after months of investigation, but the
paper declared that details of the in
vesigation, reported to have been
carried on by a corps of detectives:
the names of the players involved, and
the league in which the reported
shake-up occurred had not been given
out.
Reporters who questioned Kenesaw
M. Lands, base ball commissioner,
were unable to obtain any comment
on the rumored base ball situation
beyond the statement that the base
ball head might have something to
say late today.
I'm sorry that 1 can't discuss this
matter-nOw," the newspaper quoted
Lands as saying. six men, men from
all parts of the country, have. asked
the very questions that you have
asked. They put the questions to me
this week, and I told them nothing"
Reporters then told Lands. the ac-
count continued, that rumors were
flying thick and fast. that they were
bound to come out and that there
were reports that the base ball head
and club owners had acted decisively.
Again Mr.. Lands smiled and was
ilent.
This is against my whole nature.

After q second conference yester-

AS to a new manager, Breadon

The club president was outspoken
in his announcement that failure to
agree with Hornsby whether he
should have one.year or three-year
contract was the cause of the trade
Breadon had offered the playing man
ager one-year contract with a
yearly salary of $4,000, but Hornsby
remained firm in his demand for a
| three-year term with the same re
Enumeration. His salary had been
| $4,000 a year. and his old contract
still had year to run.

Sorry to Lose Hornsby.
II am sorry that / could not come
to terms with Hornsby, but there was

that the best thing | could do was to

him."
Hornsby said that cit doesn't look
right to be traded from a club he
had piloted to the world championship
but 'if they want to trade me, it's
all right with me-
He intimated that the trade would
not be the lend of the matter" but
would not explain what he meant by
the statement. The trade, he said
might be a pretty good exchange
but l don't know"
Breadon, however, was more opti
mistic.

N Y EW YORK, December IL
M Trading of Rogers Hornsby.
VI star second baseman and
4 manager of the champion ST.
Louis Cardinals, to the New
York Giants for Frank F'risch and
several years of effort on the part of
the Giants to bring Hornsby to New
York.
Back of the Hornsby trade lies a
story of friction in the st. Louis club
and an attempt by the Giants to an
mex Rogers as a counter attraction to
Babe Ruth in the metropolis.
The New York club has denied that
any deal was in the making to trade
Frisch, but 1t is absolutely certain
that negotiations for Hornsby began
some time ago, and the man most
likely to go to St Louis would be
Frisch. The Giant second baseman
now goes to st. Louis as captain of
the Cardinals. The presumption is
that Branch Hickey, one of the part
ners in the St. Louis club, will be-
come manager of the Cards again.
Friction I'm st. Louis.
Friction in the ST. Louis club be.
gan at the time of the world series.
Possibility of bringing HornSby to
time, and there is reason to believe
that he knew quite a little about 1t.
Since then Sam Breadon. president
of the st. Louis club, has endeavored
to reach an agreement with Hornsby
for another year, but the latter stub
bornly stuck out for q three-year
contract or none.
It is fortunate for Hornsby that
his future is thus definitely arranged.
The ST. Louis club could have forced
| him to remain idle had he been un-
willing to sign a contract.
Breadon and Hornsby have not
been on good terms because of per
sonal differences between them re-
garding some things that Hornsby
has done. Hornsby also has been OPP
| posed to Branch Hickey and has re-
fused to cooperate with him. On
several occasions after the world
series in st. Louis Hickey was given
dinners by admiring friends and hail
ed as the maker Of the St. Louis club.
This added fuel to the dislike. be.
tween them.
Rumors Were Prevalent.
Rumors of trades involving F'risch
have been heard often since McGraw
criticized the second baseman last
Summer, and from that time on rela-
tons have been strained between
them.
Frisch as second haseman is
about the equal of Hornsby, but he
is. not so good a batter, provided
Hornsby has not gone back.
There have been lots of stories
broadcast about large cash extra
being thrown in for Hornsby, but
these stories lack confirmation and
on the surface it looks like a trade,
pure and simple.

MORIARTY is NOTED
FOR STEALING HOME
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
If George Moriarty, new Tiger man
ager, is as successful in building a
base bali team as he was as a player
in stealing home, Detroit. in 1927, may
see it's first championship team in
nearly two decades.
Moriarty was the hero of stirring
editorial, Don't Die on Third; a bit
OF writing which, first published in q
Detroit newspaper, was built around
a brilliant theft of home executed by
Moriarty at the heyday of his career
in game against Cleveland. The
editorials substance was that the
trip from third base to home plate is
the most important part Of the jour-
ney around the bases.
Moriarty never was such a bold
base burglar as Fly Cobb, whom he
succeeds. He was mediocre infielder
His batting was even more common
place. He even lacked speed. But
making up for these shortcomings
was one of the keen base ball minds
Of the day.
Moriarty, like Cobb, played base
ball with his head. He was lightning
quick to sense "break," and equally
fast in taking advantage of it. Despite

N YEW YORK, December I'll
Miller Higgins, the energetic
manager of the New York
4 Yankees, had hoped that
something more would come
from his visit to the base ball session
in Chicago than chance to inhale
plenty of Lake Michigan ozone and
frigidity. Higgins thought he had
a trade made with the White Sox,
but no response developed on the Chi
cago end Of the projected deal.
The White Sox had been angling
for Aaron Ward, Yankee infielder.
and the Yanks wanted a Chicago
pitcher who would be- worth while.
Some said the Sox pitcher was
Blankenship and some pinned Hug
gins choice on Thurston. In any
event, the White Sox would not
weaken their pitching staff and Incl
dentally strengthen the Yankees, be-
cause the Sox have a notion they
can say d lot about the pennant
chances in 1927.
Inf1eld Needs BOlstering.
But while the Sox were dickering
with Higgins they were playing an
other card for assistance, and before
they get through they may put in
an addition or two that will give
them a stronger infield. That is the
point at which they seem to need
medicine to get them up in the race
next season. Their outfield will play
good base ball and they have good
pitchers. In fact. they almost seem
to have more pitchers than they
need.
There has been no little curiosity
as to why Eddie Collins did not get
along we'll enough in Chicago to have
been retained as manager, even If
he did not play second base. 1t may
be news to some that Charles A.
Comiskey, the White Sox owner, is
a great stickler for morning practice

Food Staple Depends
on IRRIGATION Work

Among the staple foods raised In
Central American regions is one that
Is almost daily on the tables of rich
and poor; this Is the garbanEo, or
chick-pea. They are successfully
grown also In the state of Sonora,
Mexico, on the alluvial plains near
the mouths Of the Mayo and YaQuai
rivers, where the altitude is but little
above sea level, although they are also
grown farther inland at attitudes of
800 feet, more or less, and with more
or less success.
The plant Is very tender and subject
to injury by frost. During the grow
Ing season the temperature ranges
from 10 degrees Fahrenheit to the
freezing point. At planting time, In
October, II ranges from 90 TO 90 de-
groes Fahrenheit. The average rain
fall in the garbanzo region in the
Yaquai valley is nine inches and In the
Mayo valley thirteen inches. No rain
falls during the growing season Of
this crop, and the growers depend en-
tirely upon irrigation, for the rains be-
gin In July and end In october, just
before the first planting begins.
The garbanzos are harvested In
May, when the plants are pulled up by
hand In the field and turned over 80
they will dry thoroughly. They are
then carried In punches to central
points In the fields where threshing
floor has been made on smooth beaten
ground.-Oharles Bell Emerson in Ad-
