Buddy Myer Comes
To Mats in Trade
For Five Players
Lisenbee, CASTOR, Reeves
ellis and Bigelow will
Go To Boston Club.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

Buddy Myer again is member of
the Washington Base Ball Club.
The stocky infielder, sent from the
Nationals to the Boston American
League Club in exchange for Emory
Rigney early in the 1927 season, comes
back in deal made between Presi-
dent Clark Griffith of the local organi-
cation and Robert Quinn, head of the
Red Sox, over the long distance tele-
phone last night The price paid for
Myer is high. as the Nationals send
FIVE players TO the Hub team In the
trade that nets them but one.
The Red Sox draw from the Wash
ington roster Horace Lisenbee and
Milton CASTOR. pitchers; Bob Reeves
and Grant Gillis, infielders, and Elliot
Bigelow, outtielder. Both President
Griffith and Manager Walter Johnson
of the Nationals consider Myer well
worth the price. for he was the leading
batter OF the Red Sox and among the
best fielding third basemen Of the
league last season.
Completion of the trade followed
negotiations lasting 10 days. The pro-
position was first advanced when Grif-
fifth and Quinn were attending the an
nual business session of the minor
leagues in Toronto week before last and
for time 1t appeared no deal would be
made. At first, the Red Sox insisted
upon getting the two pitchers, the two
intielders later given them and Joe
Cronin, another infielder. From the
start of the dickering, Griffith was
willing to part with the pitchers and
two of the intielders, but would not
consent to giving up both Reeves and
Cronin. Finally, the Boston president
agreed to accept Bigelow in lieu of
CrOnin.
Managers Credited With Deal.
Neither club executive completed the
trade without first gaining the con-
sent of his club manager. After vir-
tually arranging the affair with Quinn
while the major league club heads were
in session at Chicago last week, Griffith
conferred with johnson yesterday be-
fore informing the Boston club he was
ready to give them the players wanted.
Quinn then got in telephone commune
cation with the Red Sox manager, Bill
Carrigan, at the latter's home In Lewis

LONDON, December l5.-Public anx.
iety for King George, which had beer
somewhat Gained by the evening bull
letin, was further quieted late tonight
when the Prince of Wales and his
brother returned to their homes after
dinner with the Queen.
The long consultation held by five
physicians this evening had led the
public to await their report with some
trepidation, When this was posted it
was found that while they recommended
a new course of treatment, ray therapy,
there had been no change in his
majesty's condition to warrant alarm.
On the contrary it was said that he had
slept during the day and that his
fever was then moderate.
The physicians left soon after issuing
the bulletin, with the exception of Sir
Stanley Hewett, who remained through
the night as usual.
Text of Bulletin.
The text of the bulletin was:
His majesty has quiet day with
some sleep. Enough the pulse remains
steady and the fever is now moderate,
the exhaustion persists. 1t has been
decided to employ ray therapy as part
of the treatment"
The five signatures on this announce
menJ were those of Sir Stanley Hewett,
Lord Dawson of Penn, Sir Hugh Rigby.
the surgeon, and Drs. Frank Hewitt and
Robert Stanton Woods, both members
Of the Royal College of Surgeons. The
addition of these two made the total
OF the Kings attendants 10. This in
cludes radiologiSts and the specialist
who administered the anaeSthetic at the
time of the operation on the King.
The calling of Dr. Woods gave rise
to rumors that something was amiss
with the Kings heart, fear which
the bulletin proved groundless. The APP
prehension was based upon the fact-
that he is eminent not only as aradiolo-
gist in charge of the electrolytics de-
partment of the London Hospital, but
Is also an authority on pericarditis. Dr.
Hewitt has long been prominent as
London practitioner.
Queen Omits Drive.
The consultation of these two with
Drs. Hewett and Dawson on the ad-
visibility of the new treatment, lasted
almost the entire afternoon. Queen
Mary omitted her usual afternoon drive
circumstance which also added to
public uneaSiness- and the physicians
issued their bulletin somewhat earlier
than usual with view to removing
public apprehension.
Today, as the third day following the
operations, was regarded as more or
less critical one and on the whole the
two medical reports were considered
satisfying While there has been no
decided improvement, there has been
no relapse.
Although there must be many anxi-
Gus days ahead, the opinion prevailing
at Buckingham Palace tonight was that
there is no cause for immediate anxiety
and on the contrary ground for much
hopefulness.
Illness Follows Normal Course.
That it has not been necessary lately
to call Sir Humphrey Rolleston or Sir
E. Farquhar Buzzard for further con-
situations shows that no special COM
plications have been met and that the
Kings regular physicians are content
that the case is following more or less
normal course. Sir Hugh Rigby, the

SANTA FE, Argentina, December Is.
"A large quantity of war materials des-
tined for Bolivia passed through this
city today by the North Central Argen-
tine Railway. Four airplanes of Ger
man manufacture unarmed but suitable
for war purposes, were included IN the
shipment.
La Nacion says it was informed that
b German cargo steamer unloaded the
materials here today. All were hur-
riedly placed on board fast trains for
La Paz The materials included large
quantity of machine guns and ammu-
milton and cavalry saddles and small
arms The quantity is not definitely
known.
1t is believed that the entire con-
Eignment is intended for troops sup
posedly assembling on the Bolivian
Paraguayan frontier. Argentine officials
are watching developments most anx-
1ously and it is believed they may take
means to prevent any similar shipment.
This news was regarded of the great
est Importance, particularly in view of
the renewed hoStilities as reported by
the Bolivian minister of war.

Controversy Reviewed.

The formal announcement from La
Paz was the first intimation that any
thing approaching studied military op-
erations was in progress. Relations be-
tween Paraguay and Bolivia have been
strained for years.
! The brief statement of the Bolivian
Government did not indicate where Fort
Booueron is situated. Most of Para
guays forts in the disputed region, how
ever. are near the west bank of the
Paraguay River. The Gran Chaco, also
known as Chaco Boreal, is a tract OF
more than 100000 square miles of al
most untouched wilderness lying in the
fork of Pilcomayo and Paraguay Rivers.
The junction of these rivers is very
near the Paraguayan capital, Asuncion.
