NO TAKERS FOUND
FOR FALLEN STAR
Once Great Homer Hitter May
Be Waived Out of Ma
tionaI League.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES.

@HICAGO, December 7 (P.-
The cut and color of the
~ regimentals Hack Wilson
the fallen home-run here
of the Cubs, viii wear next season
will be determined during the
next three days, If the Cub man
agement can find a club willing tc
buy or trade for the squatty out
fielder.
A year ago, after he had set a new
National League record for home runs
the Cubs probably could have had any
thing they wished in return for Wilson s
services. But, after his unhappy 1881
record, when he batted out less than is
home runs and hit about 100 points
under his 1880 mark, there appear to
be no takers.
Reports of trades have popped up
from time to time, but Wilson is still
Cub property and it may become neces-
sary to ask waivers on him, If Owner
William Wrigley is as determined TO
send him elsewhere as he has previously
insisted.
The Cubs last big effort to trade or
sell Wilson will be made during the
annual meetings Of the major leagues
in Chicago tomorrow, Wednesday and
Thursday.
The plan Of having both major
leagues meet in Chicago is a departure
drom previous years. The National
League bylaws provide that the club
owners hold their annual session in
New York, but at the request of Kene-
saw Mountain lands, commissioner of
base ball, the routine has been altered.
At least two items are due for con-
Bideration. Radio broadcasting of
games will be discussed by both leagues,
while the American League may decide
10 change the specifications of its official
base ball. The radio question especially
may develop hot argument.
The junior circuit may decide to adopt
she same style OF ball as used In the
National League last season.
The Chicago White Sox club, which
stole the show at the minor league meet
ing at West Baden, Ind, last week by
accomplishing two big trades, still is
an action and deal with the New York
Yankees was said 30 be In the making.
'Ihe yankees are On hunt for another
pltcher ana Manager Joe Mccarthy has
cast covetous glances at Vic Frasier
young White Sox right-hander.
The Sox are not willing to part with
Frasler, put Bump Hadley, obtained last
week IN the trade which sent Carl Rev
nolds to Washington, may be used In a
swap with the Yankees.
The Cubs, whether or not Wilson Is
sold or traded, are after another out
nelder, and President Wrigley has
plenty OF cash ready with which to 90
after Chuck Klein or Paul Waner.
The leagues viii hold their own meet
ngs Tuesday and Wednesday and will
roregather Jointly Thursday.

Third Big League
Cry Raised Again
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, December THE
IN two major leagues Of organized
base ball today face threats OF
the formation of a third major"
league to enter into competition with
their circuits. Dissatisfaction due to
impending salary cuts and the large
number of players out OF jobs are
said to be the motivating forces back
of the rumored rebellion.
Throughout the meetings OF the
National Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues at West Baden,
Ind. last week rumors Of the threat-s
ened organization OF an outlaw
league persisted. The new circuit,
If formed, in all probability would
take much the same form. as the
outlaw Federal League which battled
the major leagues several ySbrs ago.

TINE Columbia Country Club, over
whose classic fairways more fine
golfers have trod than at all the
other courses combined about
the Capital, rises to challenge the all
time record of Congressional with a
sub-par score of 35, exactly 35 strokes
below the par of 70. Congressionals
all-time record is 36, against a par of
70, which is two strokes better than
that of Columbia considering the par
of the two courses.
Freddie Mcleod, the little Scot who
is as much a part of the Columbia
Country Club as the club house itself,
has performed the major part of the
miracle stunts that have been pulled
to bring Columbia's all-time record
down to 35 He has holed full brassie
shots, has pitched into the hole and
has done all manner of stunts to write
his name indelibly on the records of
the club.
On the first hole, for example, Fred
die pitched ball into the hole for an
eagle 2. On the second hole he and
Jim Barnes did it for deuces. and on
the third hole the same thing hap
pened On the fourth hole H. King
Cornwen started the ball rolling last
Spring by securing an eagle ace on this
2o0-yard affair, but only few days
ago Arthur B. Shelton did the same
thing all over again. Shelton was play
ing in four-baIl match with his son
Charles, Claude s. Watts and Ralph @.
Shorter.
Much Eag!ed Hole.
There have been plenty of eagle IS
on the par 5 fifth hole. but no deuces
on the par sixth. However, on the
seventh hole both Mcleod and Jack
Burgess. who used to be the pro at
Chevy Chase, have pitched the second
shot into the hole. Aces have been
made time after time on the eighth hole,
by John Owens and others. while on
the ninth the inevitable Mcleod again
comes into the scene with holed
brassie shot for deuce on this par 4
afatr. This puts the best ball of all
time out In Is strokes, or an average
of even 2s or II under par.

COME vandal with perverted sense
- of humor drove an automobile all
over the eleventh green at Indian
Spring one night recently. When Dick
Watson, the club greenkeeper, came on
the job the following morning, he found
the top surface of the green scattered
in big chunks over a wide area. But
he quickly patched the injured surface
with sod from the club nurseries, and
the green today is as good as it ever
was.
O. P. Fits, course supervisor at CO.
lumbia. is rapidly finishing the job of
leveling the strip of rough at the right
of the big bunker at the fifth hole at
the club. This strip will be leveled off
to provide safe means of getting by
the big bunker for the golfers who can
not hope to carry the obstruction in
two shots.

IN two strokes. Only a. short time ago
Tommy Bones did it, after having been
preceded by DR.. Robert Eller and Nc
Leod. Billy Malloy McLeod's red-headed
aide In the golf shop, stands alone as
the posseSsor of an eagle 2 at the
eleventh, while Mcleod is the only gent
who has secured "dodo" deuce on the
par twelfth. On this day Freddie hit
full brassie shot which ended in the
cup. There have been several aces
made on the short thirteenth, among
them those made by Clark G. Griffith
the president of the base ball club, and
Miller B. STEVENSON. >-
Ester Red Banagan.
RED" Banagan, assistant pro at
Columbia, comes into the picture at the
fourteenth, for on this hole y couole
OF years back Banagan holed a pitch
shot for an eagle deuce Mcleod holed
a spade mashie shot for deuce at the
fifteenth and there have been aces
galore on the sixteenth, among them
holes in one made by Paul Y. Ander-
son and Claude S. Watts. One day
not many years ago Eddie Evnon hit
g mashie niblick shot to the green at
the seventeenth and was surprised Ia
find 1t in the hole. Many deuces have
been made on the seventeenth from the
front tees, but this is one of the few
made from the rear tee,
Strangely enough, this impressive
subpar performance does not end with
an eagle deuce ON the eighteenth. for
IN all the years the course has been in
existence no one has holed a second
shot. There have been countless birdie
3s made on the hole, but no individual
has stuck that second shot into the
hole '--o
That brings the best ball back In II
strokes for a total of 35 for the round
ana we doubt II any golf course with a
par of 10 strokes has been pIaved IN
that number for an all time record
Columbia must stand nearly alone in
the matter of an all time record.

sist upon 'seeing's believ-
i ms" more than once, Mar
garet Leaman and Marjorie
Bradt Smith, champions of the
Meyer Davis Girls Sweepstakes
this year and last, have furnished
conclusive proof that Lorraine
GULL Is beatable - that even
Americas queen of the rnapleways
can't always be at her best.
When the smoke OF the f1rin' girl
sharpShooters in the classic stakes had
cleared away last Saturday night at
Lucky Strike the coveted crown that
out Of 10 had been willing to concede
10 Lorraine was resting on the fair
brow OF Miss Leaman, hitherto regarded
dark horse"
For the second consecutive year 1t
was proved that a nine-game string
isn't sufficiently long to allow even the
greatest girl duckpiner in the world to
manifest her superiority.
AND the next big event-The Evening
stars fourth annual singles tourna-
ment, 10 start December q at the
Lucky Strike-will allow Miss GULL and
other girl stars only three games to
demonstrate their superiority over the
dub, mediocre and near-star bowlers.
MISS LEAMAN'S victory. following
~ up as 1t does that OF Mrs. Smith
in 1880, should be a source of
great encouragement to vast army of
feminine bowlers who are making rapid
progress in the little pin game.
No girl bowler could hope to equal
Lorraine Guld's average for a seasons
stretch. But what bowler, trousered or
gowned, hasn't had at least one big
night on the drives? And doesn't stiii
nope to beat his or her previous record
score? = = :,
Miss Leaman and Mrs. Smith de-
feated Miss GULL over a nine-game
course. Anybody has chance In three
games.
THE Star tournament was designed
l. Tor the dub, man or woman. The
number OF games purposely was
iinited-three for girls and five for
nen-to give even the most recent be-
glnner chance to put on the 'hot
into stride.
And the stiff entry fees, which drive
out otherwise eager contestants in other
tournaments, Is lacking in The Stars
Dig Yuletide pin party. There is no
expense attached to The Star tourney
other than the regular price of games
20 cents per game (l5 If rolled in the

ENTRY blanks for the big tourney are
- available at all pin plants. They
may be returned to the alley man

Gently opened an educational drive on
the need for wild life restoration by
turning the Washington headquarters
temporarily into an exhibition of live
game birds.
Clark asserts Americans have been
brought in closer contact with the out
of-doors in the last decade of auto
mobile development than at any time
in the past SO years. This contact, he
said, has been greatly beneficial to the
motorist, but also it often proves harm
full to nature and her works.
1T Is clear that If depletion of wild
life and forests continues as it has in
the past 10 years there viii soon be
little left Of our great natural re-
sources" Clark declares. "If we can
influence the millions who annually
ride into the country In search of
recreation, from picnics to big game !:
If we can show them the necessity for
a new and more rational attitude to-
ward plants, birds, animals and fish:
If we can impress ON them that they
also will suffer If present methods con-
tinue, then the A. A. A. will have done
the Nation q lasting service In con-
