TEAMS IN MARKET
 FOR NEW PLAYERS
Robins, Reds, Braves and Phil lies Out to Strengthen Squads

New York, Dec. 6. tP>-While sev- eral baseball trades are in the mak- ing at the current Dallas confab, the bulk of deals is promised for the National league meeting here next week.
 The Robins, Braves, Reds and Phillies are all in the market for players.
 Wilbert Robinson of the Robins will leave his Dover Hall, Georgia rendezvous in a few days to attend the meeting. Jack Hendricks of Cincinnati made arrangements to arrive here a few days before the sessions which starts on Dec 13.
 The poor showing of the Braves in the last campaign more than nettled President Emil Fuchs, who hopes to acquire new strength for the faltering warriors.
 Although Hagen Cuyler has been safely shared by Joe Mccarthy into the Cubs lair, post-mortems disclose '''''N N'|i J ANeiIioIletl Itd6 ut SluD would have liked to land Cuyler from Pittsburgh.
 Brooklyn almost got the outfelder but Robinson refused to swap his pitcher, Jess Petty, the only Dodger who interested the Corsairs.
 The Reds would have bartered Hughie Critz, infielder, and Walker, outtielder, for Cuyler, but those play CTS failed to tempt the Dreyfuss family.
 Reports from s. Louis indicated that the Bucs didn't think much of q deal with the Cardinals which would bring them Pitcher Flint Rhem and infelder Lester Bell.
 Cuyler would have been acceptable to New York but McGraw's bargain ing would not measure up to what the Pirates expected.
 Shortstop Dave Bancroft. who piloted the Braves last year, Is to receive $43,000 from the Brooklyn club for his services in 1928. Of that amount, $13,5O0 will be his sal ary and the remainder bonus he was promised. AS manager of Bos- ton, BanCroft's salary was s20,000.

TUNNEY ADVISES
 BOYS AT SCHOOL
HeaVyVei6ht'S Greatest Battle
 Vas With Himself

New York, Dec 6 P}-Gene Tun- ney's hardest battle was not in the ring against Jack Dempsey or the late Harry Grcb but with himself
 The worlds heavyweight cham pion addressed the boys of River ualc-on-the-Hudson Country school yesterday and after he had finished Headmaster Frank $. Hackett char dcterized the talk as the best speech for boys he had ever heard
 This battle,' said Tunney, "is go- ing on all the time in the conscious ness and in the conscience of every boy. Success comes only with the development Of the power of will.
 This will to win when associated with natural qualifications cannot be defeated, Some boys will meet with misfortune and quit; others will con- tinue 10 fight. The game man never says 'quit'-hc fights back even when he is down and he is going to last"
 Discpssins sport smanship, Tunney said:
 "A sportsman obeys the rules. He doesn't shoot out of season: he doesn't hit when any one is down. Sportsmanship is that quality of spirit which makes you manly and keeps you within the rules of the game. In fighting this battle of life, do it gamoly, fairly and honorably.
 And thc quality that I would place next to spOrtsmanship is loy- alty-to principles. to God, to friends and to your country"
 Speaking to the younger boys, Tunncy warned against smoking and profanity.
 Tt is only bullies who swear and they are always towards" he de- cldrod. Smoking is a foolish habit. I have never smoked"
