SOME H|GH-PR|CED
. STARS MAY FIGURE
Johnson, Harris, Huggins and
HoWIey Likely to Seek
Some Swaps.
BY BRIAN BELL,



"a YEW YORK, October 31-Trad-
ing Lefty ODoul to the Phil
lies for Fred Leach, the Giants
4 Y started a trading season that
probably will prove very brisk
before the major league clubs assemble
five months hence in the South and
West for training.
The real trading comes by custom
when snow has covered the diamonds
and outfields in the big time stadia,
but the Giants and the Phillies start
ed the ball rolling with deal when
the frost is just on the pumpkin.
That many others will follow seems
a safe guess. Several teams are known
to be dissatisfied with past perform
ances of some of their highest priced
players and the managers are prescrib-
ing a change of scenery.
Although the New York Yankees
have won two world series in eight
games, Manager Miller Higgins is be-
lieved to be spending his time between
golf shots at st. Petersburg, Fla, in
looking over railway time tables with
view to buying tickets for some OF
his athletes to cities other than New
York.
Yanks Have Material.
The Yankees have several players sit
ting on the bench most of the time
who could take their places in the reg
ular lineups of other clubs in the Amer
ican League. An example is Big Ben
Paschal. the we'll known garageman OF
Charlotte, N. c. Paschal can hit, run,
and throw, three essential assets for
an outfielder, but he cannot crowd out
Babe Ruth, Earle Coombs or Bob
Meusel.
If the mite manager of the world
champions can find some CLUB need
ing an outfielder and blessed with fair
pitcher as excess baggage deal might
be made. The Yankee inf1eld may see
some changes before another season
starts.
Joe Dugan's place at third base as a
regular is not believed to be any too
secure, although he can remain YAM
kee subject to emergency call. Only
time will tell how good Tony Lazzeri's
arm will be after Winters rest and
treatment.
Dan Howley will trade if the wind is
in the right direction, but after his
success in his last years transactions
his brother managers are apt to give
him wide berth. Walter Johnson will
have chance to match his wits with
his new OrOuner maSCer-HlTQS IOr GHS
benefit of Washington. and Stanley Har-
ris certainly would like to do some Jug
Cling with the Tigers over whom he has
assumed command.
Cards May Be Active.
The trade winds are believed to be
blowing over that part of st. Louis set
aside for the Cardinals, but President
Sam Breadon must first say who is to
conduct the negotiations. Bill McKech-
ME has not yet been reelected for
another term. At the same time, he has
not been defeated for the nomination.
The minors will go into action early
in December when the National Asso-
citation of Professional Base Ball Leagues
holds its annual meeting at Toronto.
From December S to December Z the
lobbies of the King Edward Hotel will
be jammed with managers and presi-
dents of clubs in 80 or more minor
leagues willing to talk business and
trade for money, marbles or chalk.
The majors also will be represented
there. but in the main the visiting
