MATCHES TRADED
FOR CORD WOOD
Heinie Manush in an Elk
change for Goose Goslin.

1t is not yet apparent whether any
of the big league mOguls had any Sc
crets concealed when they engaged III
| their recent free forall trade sessions.
! Suspicion naturally was aroused by
the reckless fashion in which they
juggled talent from place to place.
! The magnates, as is well known, have
habit of slipping broken matches to
their associates in business in eX-
change for solid cord wood. This
isn't always the case, but it occurs
frequently enough to warrant mention.
OF the transfers made just before the
limit on trades was reached none had
so one-sided an appearance as that
which moved Heinie Manush and Alvin
Crowder from st. Louis to Washing
ington in a swap for the services of
Goose Goslin. Barring the possibility
couple of men not physically sound,
it would seem as If Clark Griffith in
this instance justified the name of "Old
Fox by which he has been known
for years.
Lacrosse, like football. isn't halted
by the weather man. In one of the
most important games of the season
Hopkins and Maryland braved furi-
Gus storm to play the regulation dis
| lance.
| Trr1- CnwaD or rlaUn1an6 AmQri-
cans catcher. sneaked into the Wash
| ington dressing room and tied several
| knots in the clothing of his erstwhile
Alabama university teammate, Jack
Hayes, the Nationals utility man.
The next day Hayes hit foul tip
hand. The injury will put the first
string receiver cut Of the game for
probably three weeks, it was said.
Ruth enjoyed the visit of the YAM
KEGS in Philadelphia, when he went
on home-run rampage, so much that
he told Outfelder Bling Miller he would
hit more four-baggers if he could play
in Shibe park regularly.
"Why," boosted Ruth. "I'd bang out
100 hOmers a season if l could play
in this place."
Miller looked at Ruth. swell. if you
were playing in Shibe park regularly"
he observed. you would not have our
pitchers throw to you"
Dale Gear, Western league president,
| announces attendance so far this sea-
son had doubled at Omaha and Des
MONIES, where night baseball is being
played. He said the entire league had
shown substantial attendance in
crease.
Chuck Klein of the smuggling but
Grant Philies is the first major
league player to hang up 100 hits In
the 1890 campaign.
Klein got three hits for his 100 in
losing double-header with Pittsburgh,
while Terry. of the Giants, fell short
by one when he got only one blow in
winning game against st. Louis.
Hodapp of Cleveland has the most
hits in the American league, yet Meth
err he nor Klein lead their leagues in
hitting.

ington. D. c., has started construction
of stadium.
In the Virginia state library at Rich
mOnd there is a notice Of a horse race
in Henrico county in October. 1878.

james river two and half centuries
ago.
A prediction that in the future bas-
ketball floors will be larger and that
seven or nine men will be used on each
side has been made by DR.. Forrest c.
! ("PhOg") Allen, director of athletics
and basketball coach at the University
of Kansas.
The demand of spectators for more
space and more competitors will force
the enlargement of the present play
ing floor from so by so feet to 100 by
so feet, he believes. 1.-THE basket can
be raised to1l2 feet above the floor"
Allen says, "thus solving the trouble
caused by the hue and cry over tall
centers. II isn't the tall center but
the tall man under the basket who
makes one-sided contests"
