Giant manager, insisted, however,,
that the deal would go through and
K. M. Lands, baseball commission
er, declared he had no jurisdic-
ton to intervene in the dispute be-
tween Breadon and Hornsby.
Hornsby, himself, although. assert1,:

conceded Breadon's right, to trade
him. He said he would consult an
attorney and. take whatever steps
can to protect my best interest

American Made Toys
Gain In Popularity

WASHINGTON. Dec 81 (AP)-
Santa Claus this year will distri-
butte to American children more
made in America" toys than ever
before
The industry of which the legen-
Diary saint is the chief patron
that of making playthings for chill
dren-has been almost complete
ly transferred to the United Sta
tes ino the last two decades, says
a Commerce department report.
In 1904, about one-half of the
toys that came to children in the
United States were produced in
Germany. American factories only
turned out playthings valued at
$5,578,0O0. Last year, the Ameri-
can output of toys reached more
than $S0,000,000, while this year it
will be higher. All the foreign
producers will supply. scarcely five
per cent of this amount.
Germany is still holding it's place
as the prime purveyor of toys to
the world generally, however, for
the American manufacturers do
not go abroad much.

FEWER BALL PLAYERS

Fewer players saw service in
the American league during the
1926 season than the year previous.
There were 243 players entered in
the 1926 box scores, while a year
before 264 got their names in the
records. This season SO of the
registered players were pitchers or
classed as such, as compared with
102 players who were listed as
twirlers in 1925.
The major league rules permit
each club to carry 40 players un-
til the season is a month under
way, when the rosters are trim
med to 25. Again in the closing
month the clubs, can increase to
40 again. to enable them to look
over newcomers.
