BUT 3OF 16 CLUBS
SURE TO STAND PAT
Only Giants, PhiIIieS and Chi
sox Likely to Retain Hot
Corner Guardians.
BY BRIAN BELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

"a VIEW YORK. December 26.-One
of the big base ball upheavals
VI of 1929 seems about to take
place at a corner OF the IN
field-third base. On the 10
major league clubs only three third
sackers are fixtures for the next cam
peign.
Fred Lindstrom of the Giants, Pinky
whitney of the PhillieS and Willie
Kamm of the White SoX will be re-
elected without opposition. Lindstrom
is a terrific hitter and fielding genius,
Whitney was the best young ball player
the Phillies have found in years and
Kamm has shown that he is worth all
the Sox paid San Francisco for him in
1922.
The st. Louis Cardinals are commit
ted to scheme to move Frankie
Frisch from second base to third and
Pittsburgh is understood TO have plan
under adviSement by which Pie Traynor
would be transferred from third TO
short. The Pirates decision probably
will depend on the performances of
Stroner, a third baseman purchased
from Wichita. The youngSter, in the
Western League, made Al home runs.
10 triples and az doubles, finishing with
a batting average of 1867. If he can
hit half as many home runs in the
National League he may get the third
base assignment.
Joe Strip, who finished the season
at third base for Cincinnati, seems to
have the call for the regular Job and
Brooklyn probably will start with Wal
ter Gilbert, who was stationed at third

Trade Rumors Name Bell.
Lester Bell. who played third in all
She games the Braves engaged in last
season, may take up where he left off,
although almost every time a rumor is
blown forth by the trade winds Bells
name is mentioned.
The third-baSe situation on the world
champion Yankees remains to be clari-
fed. Dugan has gone and close OBJ
servers doubt that Manager Miller Hug
gins expects to transfer Mark Koenig
from short to third or turn the job over
to the rather immature julie Vera.
Detroit may have to make trade for
q third baSeman unless Manager Bucky
Harris, lifelong second sacker, at
temptS to learn new tricks. Marty Nc
Manus and Chick Galloway are avail
able, but neither seems tagged to get
the call regularly.
The Red Sox got two infielders, Bob
Reeves and Grant Gillis, from Washing
ton for Myer and one may take his
place at third. The place seems open
on the Browns infield and Cleveland is
reported about to shift Joe Sewen with
Jackie Tavener, the former Tiger, tax
ing the place at short.
The Athletics split the job three ways
IN 1928, with Hale, Dykes and Foxx
performing, and the same progress may
be followed In 1929.

ager Of the st. Louis Cardinals,
4 captain Of the New York Giants
and manager of the Boston
Braves, and now high private in the
ranks of the Chicago Cubs, led the
National League in batting for 1928,
with an average of 1897. To show the
way along the highway Of hits for the
seventh time, Hornsby displaced Paul
Waner Of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the
1927 leader, by a margin Of II points.
If Hornsby can mount to the top
Of the ladder again he will equal the
record of another great right-handed
batsman, Hans Wagner. who while

the National League in batting eight

Although Paul Waner surrendered
his batting crown and had to be salts

Waner family was well to the front

and in his $50 chances cracked out

Kiki Cuyler, Cubs, led in base stealing

Jim Bottomley, Cardinal, first sackef,

Forty-Seven players batted for aver
ages of 800 or better, two less than

was among the 800 hitters with an
average of $40 for 118 games, this

CALI, Colombia, December 26.-
Pauline Uzcudun of Spain, the favorite

the hearts of South American ring fans.
In a 10-round battle, hailed as the
greatest fight ever held in Latin
America, Pauline decisively outpointed
Jack Renault of Canada here yesterday
to get a we'll earned decision.
Pounding at Renault'S body with a
steady fire of short jabs, the Basque

knockout in the final frame. In the
eighth round and gain in the tenth
Pauline appeared on the verge of a
knockout victory, but the Canadian
managed to weather the attack.
Renault fought defensive battle all
the way and gained the approval of the
ringsiderS by his success in blocking
Paulino's fierce left hooks. In the fifth
and sixth rounds he staged short rallies
carrying the fight to his opponent for
short periods to earn draws for the two

TO CLEAN INTERIOR

The interior of closed car can
best be kept clean by q vacuum
cleaner or a whisk broom. Always
brush In the direction of the weave
of the fabric and not across the
nap. Use hot iron and q damp
cloth to remove ordinary spots,
running the iron over the cloth
laid on the spot. Do not leave the
iron long enough to dry the cloth.
Grease spots can be removed with
ether or q commercial cloth cleaner.
Employ the wet cloth and hot iron
afterward to smooth out the nap.
Floor carpets can be cleaned Of
spots and grease with 3 sponge and
gasoline, being removed for drying
outside the car. Avoid soap and
water on any spots in the uphols-
terins or the floor rugs, as it will
make an ugly, conspicuous stain.
The inside of the car should be
cleaned with regularity, as an accu-
mutation of dust and dirt discolors
the upholstery to such an extent
that it cannot be removed after a
long period of contact.
