An hour after the Washington
deal Thursday night, the White Sox
| traded Bob Weiland, southpaw
pitcher, to the Boston Red Sox for
Milton Castor, right-handed pitch
er, and it was learned today that
they have two more deals pending
which are expected to be consum-
mated at the major league meeting
in Chicago next week.
Yankee Deal in Fire
One Of them is with the New
York Yankees who have made over
lures for Vic Frasier, right-handed
pitcher. The White Sox do not
want to part with Frasier, but have
countered with another offer.
When President Lou Comiskey,
who inherited the White Sox from
his father "the Old Roman" last
month, said this week that he was
ready to trade or sell any player
on the team to rebuild the White
Sox," he meant business.
Reynolds, disappointment last
season after batting 1859 in 1890, is
expected to return to his old form
with Washington if he is not ham,
pered by illness and injuries as he
was last season when he hit only
.290.
The White Sox have acquired the
added pitching strength they need
ed last year. Hadiey won IL games
and lost 10 and was fourth in
earned runs with an average of
3.Q5. Jones, a veteran who for
merly pitched for the Yankees and
Browns, won 8 games and lost 10.
CASTOR won 2 games and lost 10,
but is a lot better pitcher than his
record indicates.
Mike Sexton Retired
The organization to replace Mike
Sexton, who has been retired from
the presidency of the National AS
ISOLATION after twenty-five years in
office, neared completion today.
Three members of the committee
were named by the class AA and A
leagues as follows:
Warren Giles of Rochester. Joe
Carr of Columbus, and j. Alvin
Gardner of Dallas, president of the
Texas League. The Glass B, G and
D leagues were unable to agree on
their two representatives Thursday
night and were to meet again to-
day to name them.
The 65-year-old Sexton, who has
given most Of his life to the cause of
baseball, including many years of
service without remuneration, &C
cepted his fate gracefully.
Il hope baseball in the minors
makes a great comeback" said Sex
ton.
Sexton will remain honorary
president for one year at full pay.
but it is probable that a place will
be found for him in the minor
leagues organization when the COM
mittee of five makes its recon-
mendations sixty days before the
next annual meeting.

GETZ READY
TO BOOST
BIG BOUT
BY HYPE IGOE

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-George
W. Getz, the man who helped
Tex Rickard promote the record
breaking bout between Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney in
Chicago, today is ready to do it
again. The old directing" bug
has bitten him.
He dropped in to see Bill Carey,
of Madison Square Garden, for
purely sociable reasons" and
found an army of newspaper
men ready to apply the we'll
known "vacueb." What was he
doing in New York? Was he
back of a movement to clinch
the heavyweight title bout for
Chicago?
What about the Chicago
Stadium crowd and their threat
to bring the law down on the
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton of Illinois if that "separaz
entity" dared to come into Chi
cago and steal Billy Stribling
away from their contract? Would
the commission uphold the
stadium people in this struggle
to get the fighting plum Of the
year? Would it stand by the
corporation offspring?
Want Fight
All these questions were hurled
at the genial multi-millionaire as
Carey turned his big presidents
chair to the visitor. Then Getz
said:
First of all, I want to say
here and now-that I am 100
per cent for Chicago in getting
the fight brought there. We
want it. It's good business, but
I'll also say, that If we do get
the bOUt and it is fought under
the auspices of the milk fund,
all the money must go into the
Chicago milk fund.
Suppose that Damon Run
yon, boss of the show and
naturally heart and soul for
New York and its share of the
fund, would not agree to all
the money going to the Chicago
fund, would you still stand pat
and insist on all or none for
ChicagO?"
What about a 15-rOund bout,
the title diStance?" Getz was
asked.
THAT is going to be attended
to. There is an amendment at
the capitol right now. The law
will be changed to meet the
situation. Ten rounds is our
limit now, but the law will be
altered. You'll hear Of that
being done within a day or so.
The legislature is in session
now and 1 know that the law
is going to be amended"
"Will Getz'S attitude about
the milk fund make any diff.
ference to yOu?" they asked Joe
Jacobs, manager of Max SchmeI.
ing.
I'm being guided by what
the New York fund wishes in
the matter. This is mere talk.
You know" said Joe with a
wide wink, 1--WE may not be
far from New York when the
fight day comes around. There
still is Jersey City,"
That is about the tenth time
that Jacobs has dropped the
Jersey City hint, and my guess is
that he is strongly in favor of
putting Schmeling and Stribling
into the ring over beyond the
Hudson.

STRIDE
BY GNO SINH

The big duckpin fracas of the
moment is the National Capital
League scuffle between the
second place Fountain Hams ag-
gregation and the Mag Woods
veteran Parkway Filling squad in
third place at the Lucky Strike
tonight.
Norman Schroth's bunch Of
topnotch pin-slammers have failed
to function in the pinch of late
and because of this unfortunate
habit they are trailing King Pin
by a three-game margin.
Hams Have Tough Task
AS luck would have it at this
critical moment the Hams are
faced with the task Of overcoming
the team which has been in the
midst Of the fight since the cur
tain rose. The King Pin, sched-
uled to meet the last place Judd
g. Detweiler Wednesday, post
poned hostilities for the time
being.
Norman's crew headed the
parade all during the first hail.
but encountered several unex-
pected set-backs at the begin
ming of the second series from
which they have been unable
to recover their equilibrium.
The smashing defeat Temple re-
caived Monday night at the hands
Of Hecht Company is giving the
Hams no reason for comfort, for
several of Hams crack stars come
from this aggregation.
Schroth views conditions phllo-
sophically, however, choosing to
believe that Paul Harrison, Red"
Megaw and Make Rosenberg will
wipe out Mondays fiasco in a
blaze of glory.
The Hams are capable Of rec
ord.breaking scores as they DEM
onstrated early in the season,
when they shot an 1859 set, one
of the largest rolled in the Dis
trict.
Brad Mandley and Hokie Smith
are the two other big guns in
the Schroth lineup, and Norman
is not worrying about these two
Brad reeled off a 662 set to take
a long lead in the Howard Camp
bell Sweepstakes Saturday, while
Hokie Smith is shooting consist
emily good scores on all occasions.
Ken Thorpe is the other ace on
which the Hams pin their hope,
if Rosenberg or Megaw are unable
to get away for tonight's fray.
The team has been averaging SIS.

ages about 5 pins less, but with
Whalen, and with Red" Morgan
speeding up as the season pro-
crosses, Mag Wood is taking
things easy, despite the apparent
inability of Carroll DAILY to re-
capture some of that form which
made him stand out last season.
AL Work is also riding along at a
snappy pace.
All the gas-men are old-timerS
at the game who have delivered
time and again under pressure.
It should be sweet battle, with
the Fountain Hams holding a
slight edge and luck playing a
major role.
Sammy Rice. Washington Ma
tionaIs outfield veteran, is taking
