FOR EHMKE
LATEST TRADE RUMOR

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-From Bos-
ton comes a rumor that the Yankees
may trade Pitcher Urban Shocker 10
the Red Sox. The rumor includes
Pitcher Howard Ehmke as the man
who will be exchanged for the veteran
spitball expert.
President Quinn and Manager Foil
Of the Red Sox were in control Of
the st. Louis Browns in 1922 when,
as a result Of Shocker's wonderful box
work. that team came within one game
Of tying the Yankees for the pennant
Shocker, after Quinn ana Foil had
gone 10 Boston, could not get along
with George Sisler, who handed him
over to the Yankees last winter for
Pitchers Bush, CASTOR and Gard. Sis
Ter had much the better Of the bar
gain, as Shockers work in the box for
Higgins didn't come up TO expecta-
tions, whereas CASTOR and Giard
proved highly successful, despite their
limited experience, and Bush pitched
up 70 his 1924 form.
There is no doubt that Miller Hug
gins was dissatisfied with ShOcker's
performances as a Yankee, also that
Quinn and Foil were greatly disap-
pointed by Ehmke, whose usual eff
cheney failed TO materialize.

PLAYER
Sacred Heart Charged With
Using Ineligible
Performer.

A wordy session is anticipated when
the board of directors Of the City
Basketball League meet in special
session ut the H. n. Moore sporting
goods store Monday night at 80
The meeting has been called by Presi-
dent Gene Seng at the special request
of Managers Murakami of the South
ern Pacific, Musa of St. Mary's
Alumni, L. Shapiro of the I. X. X, j.
Cara Of the National Community
House and Ed Georges of Public Serv-
ice.
The managers named are up in
arms over the action of the Sacred
Heart five, in using Hewitt, Kelly
Field player, in a game against the
N. c. G. H. team on December %.
The rules of the league, they declare,
provide explicitly that no service man
shall be used unless it is with the con-
sent of the managers of all the teams
in the league, and passed upon by the
league president.
The Sacred Heart pilot, it is de-
clared by his fellow managers, secured
the consent only of Ed Georges, Public
Service pilot, and John Philips, o,
Straus-Frar Manager Georges says
he gave his consent with the under
standing that Sacred Heart would be
without the services of both Lee and
Trawalter, but says that both these
players took part in the game. Georges
claims that the Sacred Heart manager
thus forfeited his permission to play
Hewitt.

IN BROTHER STARS

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. O.
Brother combinations are not uncom-

circles, and the current year has seen
Cliff and Len Kampine, both formerly
Of Annapolis, starring at guard on
the Golden Avalanche football team,
while Eddie and Erv Herte are for
wards on the basket ball team.
Jim Regain, sub football tackle this
season, was preceded at Marquette by
another of his family, Charlie Regain,
a star end, whose vocal ability a few
years ago won for the local team the
name of the "Singing Hilltoppers."
Don Curtin, brilliant quarterback
this season, is a brother of Lee Cur
tin. a Marquette star of decade ago.
Perhaps the best known family
combination at Marquette, however, is
that of the Dunn brothers. Red
Dunn was the Golden Avalanche's all
American quarterback in 1922 and
1923 and was basket ball captain,
while his brother, Cornelius is now a
sophomore and is featuring ut center
on the Hilltop basket ball team.
He also was quarterback in foot

MR.. CORBET IS
BADLY MISTAKEN

When Jim Corbett said that the
counter was a lost art in ringcraft to-
day, he referred to a blow and not to
the noble Roman delivering it.
Fighters are better counters now
than they ever were in the past.
In the first place, they have more
TO count.
In the second place, no old-time
fighter knew how TO count beyond
J00-or at the most 1000.
The heavyweight champion today
knows how to count to 100000.
il he doesn't know how, his man
ager does.
You would have a hard time max

counter is lost art.
