LOOK TO COOLIDGE
|. FOR CAMPAIGN AID
G. O. P. Wondering About
Further Assistance
for Hoover.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Now that President Coolidge has
broken his silence by appealing for the
election of Hoover and Curtis in a
message to the Republican State con-
vention meeting yesterday in Boston,
Republican leaders here are now Won
dering to what extent he may b.
counted upon for further assistance IN
the campaign.
They are eager for him to do some
speaking. but as yet no definite prom
Use has been given by Mr.. Coolidge
In response to such urglngs and re-
quests he has merely indicated that NJ
will render assistance. 1t is learned
from a reliable source that he has not
said directly that he would make a
campaign speech.
Although he has not said so directly
there is no question about the impress
sion he has conveyed to some OF those
with whom he has discussed campaign
matters. Herbert Hoover being among
the number, that he might make one
or two speeches before the time 1or
voting arrives. Despite this retlcence
on his part it is generally assumed py
Republicans prominent In the party s
councils that Mr.. Coolidge is going 10
help the ticket to the extent OF speech
or two. Realizing the commence the
people of the Nation have in Mr.. Cool
idge the leaders are counting heaVly on
his participat in the campaign 10
the extent of speaking publicly, II only
once or twice.
Mr.. Coolidge has evinced a certain
reluctance when the matter OF MS
speaking in the campaign has been
brought up. He has made 1t quite pam
that he would rather not inject NM
self into the campaign, at least to any
noticeable extent. principally because
of the question of lowering the dignity
of the office of President. There are
those among his intimates who are not
at all convinced that he will make
speech But these are in the minority
among those with whom the President
has discussed the subject While the
latter have been given no positive
promises. they contend that they have
sufficient assurance from him to look
for something.
His message to the Massachusetts,
State convention yesterday was looked
for with much expectation.
1t was pointed out that while the
President expressed himself briefly and
mildly, he indirectly answered the
charges Of the opposition party to the
effect that the Republican administra-
ton during the past seven and one-half
years has been failure and completely
void of accomplishment. Moreover, the
President was given credit for having
made it very n''''' in his message that
he looked W :, election OF Mr.
Hoover as tn of continuing the

SHAREEY IN COMEBACK
 HANDS DEKUH LACING
Boston LOudspeaker Fails to I'm press in Scoring Victory Over
 Btg Italian.

Boston, Dec. II P-Jack Sharky, Boston heavyweight. was away to a comeback campaign today by virtue of an unimpressive decision victory here last night over Arthur Dekuh. a third rate New York heavy.
 Sharkey gave DeKuh a terrific beating in thenr 10 round encoun- ter at the Arena. but the erstwhile championship contender lacked punch and tlnesse. He was heavy and slow, and his timing was woe fully off with the result that he seemed unable to land his hooks cleanly.
 Although DeKuh appeared par alyxed with fright when the bout started and contented himself throughout with merely staying the limit, he took all Sharkey had and never seemed in danger except in the sixth when Sharkey had him down for the count of nine. But it took seven left hooks to the jaw and hard right uppercut to turn the trick and send the towering Italian to the canvas.
 It was Sharkey's first fight since his meeting in New York last April with Jack Delaney. He weighed 194 pounds while Dekuh carried 204.

TRADES EXPECTED
 AS S0L0NS MEET
Peace and Harmony Prevail at
 American League Session

Chicago, Dec. II R-The old strategy of the would-be David Harums, to get bushel for a peck, Was present again today as Ameri- can league magnates and officials as sembled for their annual business conference.
 In contrast to the situation when Ban Johnson presided, nothing but peace and harmony was anticipated and the usual trading bee in the lobbies was expected to provide the only news.
 Business procedure called for of- ficially naming the New York Yam kees as champions for 1928 and mite agreement is understood 10 be held. There were rumors that the draft question and the move of the minors to force the major league clubs to sell their farms" may come up. but President E. s. Barnard did not think they would.
 More than a hundred American league players were on the trading block and plenty of action was ex- pected in the player mart.
 New York, Washington and Bos- ton are involved in a rumored trade. which, if completed. would mean a decided shakeup in these three clubs. Ossie Bluege, Washing ton third baSeman, was slated 10 move from the Senators to the Yam kees. Infielder Buddy Myer of Bos- ton would go back to the Senators and five unnamed players from New York and Washington would be ship ped to Boston. The Yankees also were in the market for big Ed Nor ris. the Boston pitcher who won 19 and lost IS games for the cellar champions last season.
 The White Sox also were ready to barter for added strength-if it can be done without releasing Pitcher Thomas and Lyons and one or two other mainstays. At Toronto last week Cleveland indicated it would trade Pitcher Uhle and Catcher Au- trey for Bib Falk and Bill Hunne- field, but Manager Lena" Black burne put his foot down on the re- lease of these two.
 Cleveland has fortified itself with several outstanding purchases from the minors since the close of the season but Manager Billy Evans was ready to go still deeper into the pockets of the owners if he could get players he wanted.
 The junior circuit goes into its meeting with every club having signed it's manager. Russell Lena Blackburne completed the 1929 man. ager roster yesterday. when he signed a one-year contract to man. age the White SoX.

GRAF 0'C0NNDLL
 IS ALL.T|ME END
Herb Treat Names Him Best
 Ever at Boston College
Especial to the Herald)

N'F'lidA to tAe I1eieitf
 Bristol, Dec. II - Grattan O'Con- nell. recognized as the best football end ever developed in this city. has been picked by Herb Treat, ail- American tackle at Princeton and football expert of the Boston Amer icap as the right end of the all time Boston College team with Murphy of this years eleven as wing mate.
 "Grat," even during his high school days exhibited marked talent in the gridiron sport. He entered Boston college in 1922 and was made q regular in his first year. During he four years that he spent with Boston, he started every one of the S5 encounters on his teams schedule and on only two occasions called for the completion of his last year, he was featured in Ripley's Relieve It or Not' cartoons and in papers throughout the country was pro- claimed the "Iron Man" of football. During his student days with B. C., he played the major part of every contest, scoring touchdowns against Holy Cross. Georgetown, Haskell h. dians, Fordham and other strong college elevens. Major Frank Cav anaugh. now head coach at Ford ham, was. coach for the four years that "Grat" served at end and Joe Mckenney, who this year earned the title of Miracle Man. as coach Of the undcfeatcd Boston College team. played at quarterback during three of those seasons, graduating last year.
 After leaving the Hub university, O'Connell signed with the old Hart ford Blues in the National league. starting in every game of the teams schedule and playing the whole time in every contest but two. From Hartford he went to Providenc. where he played two games, one against the New York Giants. who failed 10 make a yard around his end. He then returned to Hartford. playing with the Hartford Giants. who broke even in two game series with the All New Britain eleven.
 This year "Grat' was signed as player-coach of the New Britain Nutmcgs. After playing one game. however. he joined the reportorial staff of the Hartford Courant and was obliged to sever his connections with the Nutmegs. During the sea- son just ended, however. he served as d football official in this and other cities in the state.
 "Grat," when questioned about his football career. is inclined to be altogether too modest and non-com- initial and our interview with him was rather unproductive. possibly due to his having adopted the news papermans attitude of asking ques- tlons rather than answering them. Facts are stubborn things, however.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 MOGULS ID MEET
Begin Serious and Official Busi.
 ness Of Session Today

New York. Dec. II R - With a five hour talk-fest under their belts, National league magnates were primed for the serious and official business of the annual winter meet ing today.
 Their informal discussion of yes- terday lasted we'll into the evening. but the chances are that today's ses- sons will be short and snappy. They'll have to be if the club own CTS and officials want to get to Chi cago in comfort and in time for the joint meeting with the American league on Thursday. Aside from the reelection of John Heydler as pres ident. a report on finances. and off cial announcement that the St. Louis Cardinals won the 1928 pennant, there appeared to be nothing for the magnates to do. '.
 Out of the welter of conversation at their initial session. the club own CTS most important pronouncement concerned the draft a veXatious question to some baseball officials. The National league had been in- formed by J. H. Farrell. secretary of the National Association of Profess sional Baseball leagues, that major league representatives would be well come at the minor league conference on the draft at West Baden, Ind. Jan. 10. but the National league de- cided that it would not care to be represented.
 We do not feel that we should go to any conference" said Mir. Heydler. "We will be glad to re- ceive any communication from the conference when some proposition can be submitted to us."
 There were indications at Chicago that the American league, which be- gins its annual sessions there today, would adopt a similar attitude. The majors {eel that the next move in the draft fight must come from the minors. At the recent National As sociation convention in Toronto, the major-minor submitted many pro- posed amendments to the major minor agreement but the whole mat ter was tabled for consideration at West Baden next month.
 Aside from this matter, the Na- tional league decided to suggest to the joint meeting at Chicago that the majors continue their support of the boys baseball tournament spon- sored with success last summer by the Americanization committee of the American Legion; discussed pro and con the possible effect on base ball attendance of radio broadcasting of games: talked over the rules; an- nounced the league schedule meeting would be held at New York Feb. 5. a week earlier than last year; and received report from the Profes- sional Baseball Players association which aids destitute players.
 Only one trade was announced. Iris Speaker. new manager of the Newark club of the International league. announcing the purchase from the New York Giants. of Vic Aldridge, right handed pitcher. and Russell Wrightstone. the well-known Jack 'of all trades.
 The club owners will wind up their sessions today and leave to- morrow for Chicago.
