can name if you'll show me where
we parted with a nickel besides
F'risch and Ring" he said.
McGraw also disclosed that Breadon,
in first broaching the trade, sought
Frisch and Bill Terry, utility first
baseman. as payment for his inf1eld
tar. He objected to parting with
Terry, but offered either Ring or
Pitcher John Scott

Although admitting that the Giants
got a bargain in the DEAL" McGraw
nevertheless rated Hornsby as "a

ting last year as he has BEEN" the
Giant manager pointed out. Possibly
it was his lame back and possibly it
was the responsibility of managing
the ball club and trying to VIM the
championship. We will take a chance
on him. We assume his contract of
100000 as a player. Whether he gets
any more depends on the future"
McGraw asserted that there was
nothing in this talk of the Chamber
of Commerce of st. Louis upsetting
the deal" He said it had been
signed, sealed and delivered" and
that contracts of Frisch and Ring had
been forwarded to the st. Louis team
through President John A. Heydler.
a bright future for Frisch with ST
Louis was seen by McGraw, who ex-
pressed the opinion that he is ''as
good ball player as he ever was if
he only thinks so.''
There is no reason why he
shouldn't be a great second baseman,"
concluded the New York leader.

N EW YORK, December %
Rogers Hornsby as a possible
VI successor to John McGraw nj
4 the helm of the New York
Giants today loomed as the
latest angle in base balls most sen
sational deal since the purchase of
Babe Ruth by the Yankees.
"I would like to feel that car
leave the management when m,
present contract expires two year
from now" said the gray-haired New
York leader. II do not want to spend
all my life running a ball club. Yes.
there is a chance that if Hornsby fits
in, he may inherit the job"
Base ball men here looked upon
frankie Frisch as likely successor
to McGraw before the trade which
sent the former Fordham star and
pitcher Jimmy Ring, to the world
champions in exchange for Hornsby.
The latter always has been admired
by the Giant chieftain, and during the
recent world series he was one of the
Cardinal leaders chief counselors.
Hornsby probably will captain the
New York club next season.
No Raise Likely.
The salary question, one of the is
sues which led to Hornsby's split with
President Sam Breadon of the
Cardinals. remains to be settled be-
tween the star second baseman and
Giants owners. McGraw indicated
however, that he did not feel Hornsby
would demand more than $40. 900,
which his contract calls for in 1927,
although Rogers break with Breadon
was due to his insistence on a three
year contract at $4,000 a year.
McGraw added his denial to those

BUSINESS GIRLS ENJOY
FINE TALK AND GOOD SUPPER

The Business Girls Club met for
their weekly supper and regular
business session in the Community
Center on last Friday evening with
twenty-three girls present. Quite a
number of the girls were late in
arriving, but despite that fact the
committee composed of Tome Ahola,
Yordes Carlson, and Edith Carlson,
including the dessert committee,
Myrtle Homer and Sylvia Heikkila,
had a very palatable supper pre-
pared for the hungry young folks
and it was in turn very much en-
joyed.
The Program Committee has left
no stone unturned to keep the inter.
est alive and alert. This evening
they had invited Mrs. o. w. Parker
to talk to them about her trip to
Europe. She presented her views
always with her personal touch and
impressions in a most delightful
manner. Her humorous side of the
varied experiences proved most en-
pertaining as well as valuable, and
she aroused new desire on the
part of many club members to hope
and to plan for that day, when they,
too, might enjoy similar expert
ence and trip. Indeed, two of our
ambitious members, Misses Florence
Nankervis and Marion Mitchell, have
already received their passports for
tour over almost the same ter
ritory. They are travelling with
Touring Party from Canada. Mr.
Parker's pleasant and instructive
talk occupied the greater part of
the evening session. q. R.
