There was just as much troub.c in the old days for managers to C.., good fighters as there is today. I've been in the scramble for many years, and am still. Therefore I may speak advisedly. A fighter had 10 sho" some real stuff to be noticed. And then everybody noticed him, and the scramble was on.
 When George Dixon and Joe Wal colt were going good, there was a great demand for little black fight ers. Spider Kelly and wanted one. too. We settled On Deacon Jon.S. 5-pounder, as a likely star. Blt sp did others.
 No wonder. For his weight he was as tough as they made them. He'd fight in Or out Of the ring, and beat many larger man who insnl,- cd him. Alter a 6G-round draw with Harry Daily Of Australia, the De3- con, meeting Daily in q bath that same night, renewed the battle, aq.I |. took four Of us 10 separate the little devils.

 For some minutes, Iooradia rivrt- od tho small black with his gala. Then he motoned the beacon 70 Encel.
 My son. said the oracle. you were especially instructed to be T great fighter a world champion"
 This almost brought the Deacon to his feet.
 "l see,' Zooradia continued. two men, one tall, dark and thin. til :. other short an1 fat, with red face. With these, Sou can rise to great honors. Without them -. Their names, cant quite catch. Thy are just beyond, I -

 IMPORTANT TRADE
Conference Is Scheduled TOnnOT.
 TOW and Deal May Be Set

New York. Jan. D (UP)-The New York Yankees have under con- sideration an important trade wi.n another American League club, il was indicated today by General Manager Ed Barrow.
 Bob Shawkey, Yankees new man. a9cr. is scheduled to arrive tomor- row or Saturday 10 confer with Cnl Jacob Ruppcrt. owner. and Barro,, and the deal may be completed then.
 AS rGmorcd recently, it is no, understood that Pitcher Waite Ho, has been offered 10 Dctroit ror Pitcher Owen Carroll and Outficld ., Harry Rice, but that Buchy Harri :: Detroit manager, has made th. Tanks a counter offer.
 The Tanks are anSioue to strengthen their pitching stmr anI have been seeking an extra outTicIl- CT, The outficld problem was sojv. I today when tho Tanks secured Kcg. meth Williams, veteran slucei... gardener, from tho Boston Red So, oil waivers
 Detroit baked on snrrcndcrIn. Rice and if IS likely that with Wi. Hams member of the YanNs. Col. Euppcrt might accept another pIa,- CT in Ricc's place. Detroit needs l shortstop and Harris counter offer may involve Mark Kocnig, who was discussed earlier in the winter in several deals.
 Both Hoyt and Kocuic will ho traded if the Tanks can get what they want for them Barrow said.
 Another player mentioned in con- noction with the Tanks propose ] trade is Pitcher Ed Morris Of ,he Boston Red SoN, who is holding out for a $l3.000 salary, 8 raise of s. 900 over last year.
 One Of the reason why Hoyt is considered the most likely Gunk ac to be traded IS because he has TO- turned his contract unsigned. He received a handsome salary last sed- son, but has been reduced consider ably this year.
 The Tanks are having more di"- ficulty than usual over signing their players Besides Ruth and Hoyi, Tony Lazzori and Jimmy Reese. OaE- land rookie outflcldcr, have joined the holdout ranks.
