ROGERS HORNSBY TO BE
SEEN IN CUB UNIFORM
Braves Get Five Players and Largest Sum of Money On
Record For "Rajah"-Only Two Regulars Included
In Chicago Trade - Subject of Deal Is Most
Snapped Player In the Game-Has Had Brilliant
Diamond Career - Details of Transfer Are Now
Completed

Chicago, Nov. 5 Up - Rogers
Hornsby, the transient star of Ma
tional league baseball. will next be
seen in a Chicago Cub uniform.
Five players and a sum of money.
perhaps the largest amount ever in
Nolved in a baseball deal, will go to
the Boston Braves in exchange for
the "Rajah", who has worn the uni
forms of three clubs in the past
three years.
The long rumored deal, was COM
pleted last night in a telephone con-
Veeck of the Chicago Cubs and
Judge Emil E. Fuchs, president of
the Braves.
Veeck declined to divulge the eX-
timated it was between $4,000 and
$500, 900. The highest price previ-
ously paid for a player was $4,000
given by New York Yankees to the
Boston Red Sox for Babe Ruth in
1920.
the Cub team would not be wrecked
to get Hornsby. only two regulars
were included in the transaction.
One was Freddie Mcguire, who was
moved to make room for Hornsby at
second base, and the other Percy
Jones, veteran southpaw. The other
three players were Louis Leggett,
rookie catcher, recalled from the
Cubs farm at Reading. Pa: Harry
Seibold, a recruit hurler who starred
with the Reading club last season,
and Bruce Cunningham. a pitcher
acquired from Los Angeles.
Hornsby's transfer to the Cubs
gives him the unique record of be-
ing the most traded star baseball has
ever known. In 1926 he managed
the st. Louis Cardinals to world
series title.
In 1927 he was in New York
Giants uniform.
Hornsby had a great year with
the Giants in 1927, successfully man.
aging the team during John Nc
Graws absence. but the opening OF
the 1928 season found him at Bos-
ton. In the middle of the 1928 race
Jack Slattery resigned as manager
and Hornsby was named to succeed
him. Hornsby's sale to Boston for
players Welsh and Hogan proved a
bigger surprise than his shift from
st. Louis to the Giants, Mystery
sill shrouds reasons for the deal.
1t Is probable the cubs will take
oyur Hornsby's Boston contract.
Which calls Tor an annual salary of
ii nproNlmately $4,000.
Hornsby made his major league
q sbut in 1915. coming up from the
Dallas, Texas, club for a reported
$500. In 1915 he played IS games
at shortstop for st, Louis but from
1916 to 1921 he played three differ
ont iniield positions and once tried
the outfield.
From 1922 to 1926 he confined his
efforts to second base and during
that period established numerous
batting records. In 1922 he set a
league record of .424. He wound up
the past season with an average OF
.3S7 and only twice since he Joined
the majors has he finished below the
800 mark.

keep the American Hardware
team out of it this year" is the cry
Of the teams of other factories in
the Y. M. C. A. Industrial league,
which will enter its fifth season in
the field Of winter sports next Tues
day night at the Stanley arena.
Each OF the four factories in the
American Hardware corporation
have won once. In 1924. the first
season of the league, Corbin Cabi-
net Lock was the victor. In 1925
P. g. +. Corbins took the prize. In
1926 Russell e. Erwin was the VIC
torious team and in 1927 the cham
pionship went to Corbin Screw.
In every race the battle was
staged almost exclusively among at
least two of the American Hard
ware factories. In 1924 the race was
between Corbin Cabinet Lock and
p. g. f. Corbin and was the highest
ever held. When the schedule was
exhausted both teams were tied for
the championship. Corbin Cabinet
won the flag in the play-off.
Not to be outdone for the second
time the 2. & +. Corbin team ran
far ahead in the second year and
won the championship without
much effort. Its old rival. Corbin
Cabinet Lock, had retired as cham
pion at the close Of the previous
season.
The following year Russell & Err
win won race in which Corbin
Screw and p. e. F. Corbins were
rivals and had it not been for four
successive defeats in the early part
of the year the Stanley Rule l.
Level tea mmight have broken the
jinX right there and then. The
Rulers had such stars as AL Sloman

Corbin Screw that year was rep
resented by the kids of the league,
but between seasons the kids" grew
up and laa; year vita the ado. zion
Of HANK Arbour as pivot man
and coach. the team rode through
to the championship Last year
marked the return to the league OF
the Corbin Cabinet Lock team. the
champions of 1924. but the team
had grown old since its heyday ast
it was an easy mark for the Other
quintcts.
One OF the interesting features 0,
the league Is the fact that the T.. &
+. Corbin team has never finished
worst than second in all the 1.n
it has been in league competition
That team, also. has not been the
strong team it was during the first
two years. In those days all the
team would have to do was to make
an appearance and the game was
won.
Practically the same lineup has
represented the team throughout its
four years. Ray Hoist has always
been the center. Joe Jasper has been
the forward and later he was assist.
ed by Mike Luke and the combina.
ton made one of the best forward
arrays in bask etball history. Ber
Paris has been the guard and was
paired up with Hank" Arbour, bu,
since the latter has left the com,
pany's employ. several players have
been tried at the position. Probabl,
George Hallin has been given the
preference more than any of the
other candidates because of his
strong play as stationary guard
Dick German who has also been or
the team many years has been USED
many times at the place. This yea,
Harry Mills. a newcomer who made
mark last winter, is favored tc
cap the position.

OPENING HIGH SCHOOL
DEMPSEY IS ONLY
HOPE Of Boxing
Return Of Former Champ to
Ring Would Revive Interest

New York. Nov. N-Talk Of
Jack Dempsey returning to the ring
seems to most observers to be in
spired largely by efforts to brace up
the sagging fortunes of the fistic
game.
They have sagged. especially from
the box office viewpoint. this year to
a marked degree by comparison
with the heydays of the boom
era that started in 1928. That was
the year Dempsey and Firpo fought
their memorable battle at the Polo
Grounds.
BY a strange, il not ominous CO.
incidence, Firpo also figures in the
comeback talk. 1t would be an odd
turn of circumstance if both the Ar
gentine Bull and the old Manassa
Mauler climbed back through the
ropes next year. 1t probably also
would furnish an odder comparison
with their fighting powers of 1928.
There was only one Dempsey
Firpo fight. No revival of that epic
battle could touch the original, any
more than the famous Leonard
Tender lightweight rivalry of the
same period could stand being re-
produced.
