De Al BENEFITS
BOTH CLUBS

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE
Brooklyn-Pittsburgh trade which
sent Shortstop Glenn Wright to the
Robbins in exchange for Pitcher
Jess Petty and lnfie1der Harry
Rtconda, of Brooklyn, should be of
benefit to both clubs. Brooklyn
has a crack hurting corps without
Petty who should bolster Pitts
burgh's somewhat rickety mound
staff considerably. Riconda will
fill the Pirates need for another
infielder.
Petty generally pitched great ball
for Brooklyn but the Robins rarely
made runs for him. He should
win many games for the hard-hit'
ting BUGS.
Wright. formerly regarded
as tho best shOrtstOp in the
league. will replace the veteran
Bancroft.
He was involved in private diff
culties with the Pittsburgh owners
last season and had an off year.
The Robbins also announced the
unconditional release of Joe Harris,
veteran outfielder and former world
series hero, and the sale of Out
fielder Arnold STATE to Los Angeles.

By HARRY NELLY

CHICAGO Dec. T. (TN.S THE opening session of the
meeting of American League magnas and
total loss casual review Of the minutes
yeas today.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-12-12

One trade was made. the Junior
circuit subscribed to the idea OF
donating $4,000 to the American
Legion plan of fostering juvenile
baseball, the magnates kissed each
other on the off cheek and adj
journed to gather on the next day.
For those who are addicted TO
figures, it took Detroit and the
Yanks two hours and six min
utes Of an average to conduct
a ball game. Boston played a
ball game in an hour and Sc
minutes. So did the Athletics.
All of which proves that speed
is nothing.
Possibly Boston was glad to b
defeated so promptly, took its tools
and went home. One never can tell.
On the other hand. Ted Lyons, Of
the White Sox, pitched ball game
in 1:44 for an average, AL Thomas.
of the same club, in LAG, and
George Uhle, of Cleveland. in ZAP.
and Uhle was traded. What does
that prove? Ask Henry Edwards,
he compiled the figures.
The White Sox thought they had
a chance for Uhle. However, when
Detroit offered non-hitting in
fielder and a $3.50 pitcher, in the
persons of Jack Tavener and Ken
Holloway, Uhle went elsewhere.
Probably this is all for the best, by
way of comment. If Billy Evans
and Roger Peckinpaugh cannot
make pitcher pitch, who can?
The American League was to re-
sumo it's deliberations today. Pres
ident Is. s. Barnard says there are
important matters to be contem-
plated. Possibly so-from a legal
and technical standpoint. But what
the public is interested in prin.
is the doings of the ath-
letes. If they make another trade
today likewise will not be total
loss.

All during his career as manager
of the Cleveland Indians Iris liked
to tackle bad actors.
He tanned Ray Caldwell, notorious
for his conduct. Other managers
had tried and given up in disgust.
For Speaker, Caldwell turned in %

He says he will tame Lamar and
McQuillan and make them like 1t.
Speaker will not attempt to
use Walter JohnsOn's sOft.wOrd
method.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-12-12

He will crack the whip and ex.
pect his bad boys to behave.
Iris considers it an evidence of
weakness for a manager to let out
two suspended players before trying
his hand at tanning them.
Talking of Lamar and McQuillan
iris had this to say:
