BROWNS GET TWO
GOOD MEN FROM
DETROIT TIGERS
by United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK Dec. l4.-The aI

NEW 1ORh, Dec. III ne an
nual meetings of the two major
baseball leagues here are being over
shadowcd in Importance by the
Lobby trades and lobby chatter of
impending trades.
Today the matter of George Sis
Ter remained the paramount issue as
fans, managers and baseball players
gathered.
1t seems clear that Sisler will
not play next year with st. Louis,
where once he was manager of the
Browns and once was credited with
being the best player in the league.
The Browns, through trade With
Detroit, got another first baseman
Yesterday in Lou Blue.
In that trade Phil Ball rclinquish-
ed Elam Van Glider and Harry Rice
in exchange for Heinie Manush and
Blue.
This puts Sisler in the strange
position of having man to succeed
him without having any idea whore
he. is going Rumor had it that
Clark Griffith and Bucky Harris,
who control affairs at Washington
were casting c0vetous eyes toward
Sislcr.
incidentally, Bill McKcchHic, the
new Cardinal manager, let it be
known he wasn't throwing away
Lester Bell and Flint Rhem, two re
ported ready for the auction block
this winter.
Joe Mccarthy, the Chicago Cub
boss, said all talk about his getting
Cuylcr for trading material was
"poppycocll.' He said the only
thing he needed was seasoned
third bascman and ne hadn't been
able ia find any around. lncidental-
ly, he spiked rumors of a trade be-
tween the Giants aud the Cubs--in-
volving Cuyler and Lindstrom-by
saying he didn t want Lindstrom.

Only One More Trial and Transit.

A trial fight Of the Caspar biplane
"Germania" this morning convinced
Lieutenant Otto Koennecke that
only one more maximum weight test
would be necessary before the ma
chine could be declared In condi-
ton for his transatlantic hop. The
weight test was set for late this
afternoon.
AS today's weather reports in
dictated that the ocean storms would
not subside before Sunday. Lieu
tenant Koennecke elected to post
pone the radio tests until tomor-
row. II the trials and the weather
are satisfactory. the Germania will
be given her full load Of fuel tomor-
row night, and hop off early Sunday
morning.
Lieutenant Koennecke emphasized
today that he would not be rushed
into a premature start, but would
rely on the weather reports. Unless
the meteorological charts show a
material change, he will take the
shortest northern route, by way of
Dublin, Newfoundland and Boston,
continuing on to New York or Phila-
delphia if he has sufficient fuel.

British in Reply to
China's Plane Seizure

London, Aug. 10 R-Resumption
Of traffic on the railway leading
from Shanghai to the south. which
was cut by the British military au-
thorities In retaliation for the seizure
OF a pair Of airplane wings by the
Chinese. is reported by Reuters.
The correspondent forwards a re-
port issued by the British military
headquarters saying that when the
wings were surrendered by the
Chinese last night, orders were is
sued to restore the railway line and
that traffic was resumed at
o'clock this morning. The attitude
OF the Chinese military was courte-
Gus and conciliatory, the statement
added.
Sediment OF the incident was ex-
pedited owing to the desire Of the
Chinese commanders to move num-
erous retreating troops from Nam
king, which is threatened by the
northerners. to point south ,of
Shanghai. This was possible only
by restoration Of the railway.

bRICKLAYERS and
PLASTERERS agree
Armistice Effected by Labor
Treaty

New York. Aug. 10 R-Peace Of
fcially reigned today between Plas-
terers' and Bricklayers' unions after
years OF nationwide dispute that
affected building operations in all
parts of the United States.
The armistice was effected with
the signing yesterday OF treaty de-
veloped in a conference arranged by
William Green. president OF the
American Federation of Labor. BY
its terms the Operative Planers and
Cement Finishers' union has reached
Masons and Plasterers' union over
the jurisdictional question of the
cement workers, which has long
been the cause of strife.
In New York city, the bone Of
contention has been Local 80 OF the
Bricklayers' union, composed OF
about 1000 cement workers.
The plasterers claimed that these
men should have the pink card of
the Plasterers' union instead OF the
green card of the Bricklayers' asso-
citation.
The new agreement deal with this
battle of the pinks and greens in
that the bricklayers have agreed to
revoke before Sept. 1 charters of
Local 80 in New York, Local 27 in
San Francisco, Local 60 in Philadel-
phia. Local 33 in Dearborn. Mich.
and Local 81 In Dallas.
The bricklayers had countered
with the claim that plasterers had
accepted non-union work in Florida.
On this point the agreement states
that any member of either union
who accepts employment upon un-
fair work in Florida shall be
dropped from membership in his re-
spective organization after a hearing
and trial.
