TEN Of 16MAJOR
CLUBS PULL DEALS
Great Activity Is Recorded
Within Two Months of Play
ing Seasons End.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 17.-It may
be that 1928 will become known in base
ball circles as the year Of the big
trade winds"
The playing season is no more than
two months past, yet already some
clubs have so radically revised their
rosters that a fan may be excused for
being a bit bewildered as he sees ap-
parent fixtures shunted of to some
other major league team or else into
the minors. - .t-
Rogers Hornsby to 60 on the market
and Emil Fuchs of the Boston Braves
didn't disappoint a waiting public. He
graciously gave "the Rajah" to the Chi
cago Cubs for Percy Jones, Freddy
Mcguire, several rookie players and a
fat bundle of cash.
Red Sox Active, Too.
Not to be outdone by their National
League rivals, the Boston Red Sox have
consented to let Washington have
Buddy Myer, crack third baseman, for
the trifling consideration Of five play
ers. In place of Myer, who was the
Red Sox's best batter last year and
the leagues leading exponent OF the
ager of the Red Sox, will have to find
room for Horace Lisenbee and Milt
CASTOR, pitchers; Bobby Reeves and
Grant Gillis, infielders, and Elliot
Bigelow, Southern Association out
fielder, who clouted minor league pitch
ing with abandon.
Pittsburgh needed left-handed
pitcher, SO the Pirates sent Glenn
Wright TO The Brooklyn Robins for Jess
Petty and Harry Riconda, the latter an
infielder when he's not sitting on the
bench.
George Uhle, who has had his ups
and downs at Cleveland, will see
whether the weather at Detroit is any
better for his pitching arm while Jackie
,Tayener and Ken Holloway are doing
their Unfolding and pitching, as the
case may be, for the Indians.
These have been the major deals of
the of-season, but there have been
number Of other changes Of more than
little interest.
Rhem and Aldridge Gone.
There are a number of clubs who
could make use Of the pitching of which
Flint Rhem and Vic Aldridge are
capable, yet both these right-handers
find themselves in the minors.
Aldridge, traded to the New York
Giants for Burleigh Grimes by Pitts
burgh year ago, has been sold to Iris
Speakers club of the International
League.
Rhen, o great pitcher in 1925, has
been sent to Minneapolis of the Ameri-
can Association. Both were waived out
Of the majors chiefly because Of repu-
tation for being hard to handle.
Aldridge has diSinclination for sign
ing contracts when they are first offered
him. II took months of dickering to
get him into the Giant fold last year
and he never showed anything like his
customary form. After his trade to
Pittsburgh by the Cubs In November
1924, Aldridge was bit late in signing
the contract Barney Dreyfuss offered
him.
Other changes since the close of the
season have seen Lefty O'Doul 60 to
the Philadelphia Nationals while Freddy
Leach was preparing to put on q Giant
uniform; Johnny Neun Of Detroit slid
back to Toledo and Arnold STATE Of
Brooklyn to Los Angeles Of the Pacific
Coast League.

Sometimes you think basket ball
hasn't changed so much. Recently
in talking with Ralph Morgan, a
member of the official rules commit
tee, he commented on this point. He
played the game over 20 years ago
and told Of his old coach shouting
at his team on every shot, ''Foller
in, you guys, foller in" Had you
seen Chicago in its games last sea-
son you would undoubtedly have
thought that the same coach was In
charge there, for on about every
long shot the MaroonS tried two men
would drive in to take the rebound,
or, failing In that, to worry the op-
ponentS.
The system varied but little, if the
center mo. nthe diagran) made
the shot, No. would drive in from
the right side and No. 2 from the
left to get the rebound. That prin-
ciple is as old as the game ftself.
It's fundamental every coach in
'sists upon.
The trick in taking a rebound cor
rectly is another matter. Most
players leap too soon II they are
late driving In the best stunt is to
dribble and then use a one-hand
push shot so they may just roll the
ball over the rim into the basket.
But If they come in fast and play it
right they leap as the ball starts
down on the rebound, take 1t in
both hands as they go UP and again
merely glide 1t over the rim into the
basket.

That's the position Leon Allen GoSlin
was IN at Sportsmen's Park in st. Louis
on Sunday, September 30, when Nation
ais and Browns were staging the tlnal
game of the season and the Goose and
Heine Manush, staIwart slugger OF the
Browns. were conducting q private war
for the Swatting crown.
The league lead had shifted from one
to the other twice during the fray ana

Goose to sock the ball to safety TO pre-
serve slight advantage over his rival
If time at bat was to be charged. :.
And sock 1t Goslin did. The ball
scared toward right center, was just
missed by Frank MCGOWAN. the Browns
middle gardener, after q desperate
chase, and the washington batter was
credited with @ two-bagger that gave
him a batting average of .37e for the
season of 1928, the best in the league.
In the oficial records. made public
today, ManuSh is placed second to Cos
lin with an average OF .37S. but the
Goose finished with more than q point
edge over Heinie. Run down to four
figures, the averages are .3794 for Cos.
lin and .3777 for Manush, a matter OF
.0017 in the Washington batter's favor.
GoSlin was the Nationals leader gen.

So was his total base count OF $50 o
