HURON, Ohio, December 21.-The
air mail lost another pilot last night
when the plane OF Leo J. McGinn.
tossed by a 50-mile gale during heavy
Snowstorm, plugged into an apple tree
near here McGinn was thrown from
the cockpit and the plane burned.
McGinn, who lived in haywood, Ill,
was carrying the night air mail from
Cleveland to Chicago for the National
Air Transport Co. Most of the mail
vas saved. although it was badly dam
aged by fire or soaked with water or
gasoline.
McGinn circled the town three times,
apparently trying to locate the air
mall beacon A moment before the
fatal carsh he tossed landing flare
from the plane Then it crashed into
the tree and into barn owned by
Wright M Stein, Huron undertaken.
Five minutes later the snow stopped
entirely and the sky became clear!
The pilots body was found about
hunderd feet from the wreckage. His
parachute was intact. This and the
fact that the motor of the plane was
not shut off led to the belief that
McGinn was not expecting the crash.

CUBS PARK SHOWS
BASEBALL GROWTH
New Field Represents $1,000,
600 Investment Compared
to. $1,000

. Chicago, Jan. 1o.A(AP)-The
growth Of baseball IS big business
is shown in the remodeled home Of
the Chicago Cubs which is doing
business at the old stand under the
name of Wrigley Field.
Extensive alteration begun last
winter virtually have been. completed
now and the plant represents an in
vestment of $2,7O0,0O0.
Fifty-two years ago, the Chicago
National League team played in a
lake front stand that might have
cost all Of $4,000. The present
stadium is the teams fourth home.
In 1885, the white Stockings" as
the Cubs were then known, moved to
the growing west side of Chicago
and around the new diamond was
erected the first brick wall to enclose
baseball park.
Another move was made in 1893
and the stands then would accom-
modate all of 5000 fans. That was
in the days of Frank Chance, the
peerless leader" ~"
At that time there was an ordi-
nance prohibiting Sunday baseball,
but it was customary for some
friendly judge to attend the game,
hold court in the club house, and
forthwith discharge the defendants.
The additional improvements
made this winter on Wrigley Field
will enable $4,000 fans to sit in COM
fort.

ut is hard to believe that a

DETROIT FANS
ARE WATCHING
TRADE RESULTS
Release Of Blue and Manush
Unpopular Despite Rice's
Acquisition

Detroit, Jan. 10.-(AP)-George
Moriarty, former major league UNI
pire, ball player, and now manager
Of the Detroit Tigers, shuffled the
cards during the winter big league
holidays and dealt the st. Louis
Americans q pair of aces. He has
yet to prove to critical Detroit fans
the wisdom Of the play which sent
two favorites, Lou Blue, first base
man, and Heinie Manush, outfielder,
to the Browns, that he might
strengthen an outfield to support his
pitchers.
But with the acquisition Of Harry
Rice, outficlder, brought in on the
trade that sent Blue and Manush
southwark. Moriarty believes he has
created an outfield that will both
hit and field. He is certain Rice will
hit better than 800, lead the majors
in stealing bases, and speed up the
outfield. Throughout the playing
season of 1927 there were rumors Of
complaints from Tiger pitchers that
they were not receiving the proper
support needed in the far corners.
With Rice, Harry Heilmann, leading
batter Of the majors, and Bob
"Rhino" Fothergill, Moriarty be-
lieves he can present trio Of hit
tiers that will cause opposing pitch
ers untold agony.
Pick Three Stars
The winter shuttle also sent away
Johnny Bassler, veteran catcher and
q favorite of the pitching staff,
Trip" Collins, and Donald Hankins.
In return the Tigers received Elan
Vangilder, veteran pitcher Of the
Browns, Red Hargrave, former catch
er of the Toronto club of the In
ternational league and "Chick" GAL
loway, late erratic shortstop Of the
Philadelphia Athletics. Galloway is

Of the game with an injured hand

At third base Warner is left to

DEMPSEY AND
SHARKEY ARE
1928 RIVALS
Gene Will Fight Jack a Third
Time at Yankee Stadium
in September
CHAMP BEGINS TRAINING
Gotham Mogul Signs L0ughran
Until November-Will Make
Him a Heavy

New York, Jan. 10.-(AP)-Tes
Richard and Champion Gene Tunney
have settled their differences.
Everything between Gene Tunney
and myself is 0. H." the promoter
said today. He consented to the
heavyweight title holders demands
for two fights this year.
Rickard contemplates Jack Shar-
key Of Boston as Tunney's first -
ponent and Jack Dempsey a
next and biggest rival. The -
sey-Tunney t-ssle will be held in the
Yankee stadium next September, ac-
cording to Richards present plans.
Just where the first heavyweight
championship will be staged remains
indefinite although Richard regards
Chicago favorably as the site.
Sharkey, who fights Tom Heeney
here Friday night, is not consider
ed q Z worthy opponent by Tun-
ney, the champions intimates say.
However, Tunney probably will be
guided by the outcome Of the Heeney
60.
Tunney to Miami
Tunney Is slated to leave for
Brunswick, Ca, tonight for a brief
stay ut Dover Hall before proceed
ing to his training quarters at
Miami. He will box six rounds
against three sparring partners in
an exhibition at Houston, on Feb
ruary IL, as part Of his training
program. Richard will leave for
Miami on january 10.
Tommy Loughran, light heavy
weight champion Of the world, has
signed m agreement giving Richard
exclusive rights to his ring services
until next November 1. The agree
ment requires Loughran to box any
opponent selected by Richard and
covers the entire country.
Richard said he intended to keep
Loughran in the light heavyweight
division for At least another year.
He expects Loughran to be ready
for = .he4vyweight title bout in 1929.
The bout between Sid ferris, New
York lightweight contender, and
Jimmy McLarnin Of Los Angeles,
down for February 3 at Madison
Square Garden, has been postponed
until late next month.

the most valuable youngster in the
National League was Lloyd Waner
OF the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pitcher
Wilccy Moore Of the Yankees as
sumed a similar role in the Amer
lean League.
From Same League
1t is a rather strange coincidence
that these two players, the outstand-
ing stars Of the majors, should grad
uate into fast company from the
same minor league.
During 1926, Lloyd Waner started
with the Columbia team of the South
Atlantic League. Waner batted .345
for the season, right up among the
leaders. To me the most remark
able thing about his play was the
fact that he enjoyed a great year,
Though a member of a hopeless
talk nder.
C lumbia finished last with a per-
cent ge Of PA; practically 400 400
poir,s from the champions and 200
POI ITS below the mark of the club
that finished seventh in the race.
Waner Handicapped
The above figures will give you
some idea Of what a bad team Waner
played on and what a handicap he
worked under. It takes real
player, one who loves the game, to
keep stepping at top speed when his
team isn't going anywhere.
Waner, joining the Pirates in 1927,
and getting a chance to play regu-
larly after "Kiki" Cuyler jumped
over the traces, continued to deliver
the same kind Of a game in the
majors in his first. year as had
featured his debut III the minors.
he was an important cog in the win
ming of the pennant by Pittsburgh.
He took part in $50 games and
established the wonderful batting.
record OF 1854 in 629 times at bat.
Moore Prominent
Pitcher Wilcey Moore Of New
York Was even more prominent in
the winning of the pennant by the
Yanks than was Lloyd Waner in
Pittsburgh's triumph.
In his first year in the majors.
Moore swept aside all tradition that
has chung to first year pitchers and
turned in 10 victories while losing
only seven ball games. It is con-
servative to say that he saved a
dozen more. Thus Wiicey Moore, in
his first year, did something that
only a few pitchers accomplished
over their entire career-made pos
sible the winning of 80 ball games
for his team.
Won 80 Games
While Waner was struggling hone.
lessly with the tail-end Columbia
!, team during the 1925. season, his
work being the only redeeming fea-
ture Of that clubs play, Wilcey
Moore was pitching the Greenvillc
team to pennaut in the same
league. All Moore did was to win
80 games while losing only four, for
mark of 1892.
Major league baseball offers moth
ing that parallels the careers of
Lloyd Waner and Wilcey Moore in
their first year in the big show. Few
players are fortunate enough to
meet with the success that greeted
these two athletes in their first sea-
son out Of the minors.
Internationally, Wilcey Moore and
Lloyd Waner were outstanding in
their first year in the big leagues.
There are many experts who doubt if
these two players will be able to
maintain the high standard set dur
ing the past season.
Another unusual feature in con-
nection with these, two phenoms is,
despite the fact that last season was
the first chance either has had to
show his stuff in the majors, Moore
is about 10 years older than Waner.
