HORNSBY TRADE
HEaTATEs

CHICAGO. oct. IT William
Wrigley IS ready to write the check
and Emil Fuchs, president OF the
Boston Braves Is ready to cash ~.
and Rogers Hornsby Is reported
ready to join the Chicago Cubs and
lots of other things are ready, but
Marse Joe Mccarthy, Cubs manager
isn't quite ready to hand over his
whole team for Hornsby because
Hornsby is only one man and not
nine.
All this much ado about sOme-
thing was given added imports
ance when William Wrigley ad-
mitted he was diclxering for the
star slugger and was ready to
give 500, 200 but baked when
Fuchs asked more money and
two or three players, it is
understood.
While refusing to name anything
or anybody Wrigley did say this:
They are asking for everything
possible in the way of players but
/ am not going to be the Judge in
this feature of the deal The club
will attend to the cash all right,
but Mccarthy is the team manager
and will have the final say as to
which players are to go or not
to go. 1t would be foolish to
wreck the present team just to get
one great hitter"

Provided Gene Drlscoll,
whom Lou Little is converting
into a lineman, continues to
show the improvement that has
marked him during the past
four weeks, he may become
one of the regular Georgetown
bulwarks for the important
games that are just around the

Possibly Driscoll. who was the
star fullback on the 1927 Freshman
eleven, may be in the front trenches
when the Hilltoppers struggle with
West Virginia Wesleyan Saturday
afternoon at o'clock at the Clark

When the Georgetown grid
ders assembled at Wildwood,
n. j., this year to begin train

discovered he had two worthy
fuIIbacks in Steve Barabas and
Gene DriscoH. Both couldn't
uIay fuIIback simultaneously
and as Barabas was the shiftier
runner. the Blue and Gray
helmsvnan decided DFiscOll would
be of greater value up in the
line.
Driscoll was too valuable to have
an the bench as he has a powerful
drive and is a handy fellow TO have
as a chaperone for the ball-carrier.
So Lou Little, aided by John Da-
psossa. the line coach. took Driscol
IN tow and taught him the rudi-
ments--of a forward. He -grasped
the principles rapidly and has been
pronounced ready.
