WILL NOT TRY
KEhRNS' SUITS
AGAINST DEMPSEY

Chicago, Dec. 20.-(P)-Settlement
out of court is in prospect, in the
suits brought against Jack Dempsey
by his former manager, Jack Kearns,
the latter said as he passed through
here enroute to California to spend
the holidays.
Counsel for the former partners
in the heavyweight championship
have begun negotiations toward an
agreement on the terms of Kearns'
demands for a share of Dempsey's
winnings until expiration of the
managership contract, last August.
1t has been Kearns' contention that,
since the Dempsey-Tunney battle
was signed during his regime, he
should share in Dempsey's end Of
the purse, although the match took
place after their partnership had ex-
pired.
The last court move in the pro-
ceedings was further postponement
early this month and since then,
Kearns said, the lawyers have been
dickering on a settlement.

EDDIE COLLINS MAY
CAMB0L WITH YANKS

New York, Dec. 2o.-(P)-Player
negotiations, designed principally to
obtain a seasoned catcher and in
fielder, have been pending with four
rival American League clubs, Ed
Barrow, business manager of the
New York Yanks, disclosed today.
Only one deal appears likely to be
consummated but this carries a hint
that Eddie Collins, deposed manager
of the Chicago White Sox, will wear
Yankee uniform in 1927.
According to Barrow, 1t involves
sending Aaron Ward, utility infielder,
to Chicago, for Grabowski, a catcher.
and an inf1elder. The Yankee official
would not say whether Collins was
referred to in this proposition but
baseball men inclined to belief that
the former king of second basemen"
is headed here.
The Browns would not part with
Marty Manush, star second baseman,
along with several other players in
exchange for two Yank pitchers, Sam
Jones and Walter Beall. Boston also
refused to listen to proposals to trade
either of two young pitchers, Wiltse
and Ruling.
