Tribe officials also verified the
purchase from Toledo of Ernie
Wingard, left-handed hurler and
first sacker. Wingard and Cooney
were outstanding players with To-
ledo this year both on the mound
and in other positions. Wingard is
highly regarded as a slugger and
Cooney also bears a fine reputation
as a pinch hitter.
Become Tribe Property
The Koenecke deal proper, there
fore, will bring five athletes to In
dianapolis and all will become Tribe
property. The Wingard deal, of
course, is a separate transaction that
was held up previously owing to
conflict at the time with American
Association player transfer rules.
1t will be recalled that Koenecke,
the slugging Indian, was sold to the
Giants for $4,000 in players, no
cash exchanging hands, and PreSi-
dent Perry and Hendricks are well
satisfied with the value of the ath-
letes consigned here by John Nc
Graw. The outfielder who will be
delivered next spring will be a fly
chaser of known skill, the Tribe
bosses said today.
Ace in International
Johnny Berry was an ace finger
with the champion Rochester Inter
nations in 1880, winning sixteen
games and losing eight, and this
year with New York he won seven
games and lost eight. He had the
lowest earned run average in the
International loop in 1890, his mark
ng 2.49 per nine-inning game. He
is %, stands Sill and weighs 1876.
Joe Heving, 27, is a brother Of
John Heving, catcher with the Phil
adelphia Athletics. He stands
6:0012 and weighs about IT'S. He won
seven games and lost five with the
Giants in 1880 and was used prin-
cipally as a finisher this year. Hev-
ing went to the Giants from Mem
phis, where he won fourteen games
and lost ten in 1929.
Rosie Gives Promise
Harry Rosenberg was with Indian
apolis on option during the clos
ing days of the 1880 season and per-
formed in efficient style. He is a
speed boy and has the actions of a
future great. The Giants bought
this youngster from the Coast
League for $4,000 in 1880. He bat
ted 1927 for Indianapolis.
Johnny Cooney won ten games
and lost seven with Toledo this sea-
son and appeared in many games in
the outf1eld and at first base ow-
ing to his fielding ability and bat
power. He was a troublesome Gus
toner for the Indians all year, and
doubtless will prove to be a valuable
man when the Tribe steps out after
the flag during the next campaign.
Cooney and Wingard posted rec
ordS rated as high class for 1880
when it is remembered Toledo had
a tailend club. Cooney batted .290
and Wingard whaled the sphere for
.305, collecting % doubles, 13 triples
and Is homers.
The Koenecke deal is one of the
biggest closed by an A. A. club in
years, and it is in line with owner
Perry's plans to capture the title
flag for the new Perry stadium in
1882.

NO MARINE ACCIDENTS HERE

Fogs and snows and other kinds of thick weather carry dangers to going vessels and more dreaded by navgators and marine insurance companies than any other form of risk.
 The standard marine insurance for vessels alone, not including cargo the Inside Passage to Alaska, is about 15 per cent of its value per That is, vessel insured for $500,000, the premium paid by the owners for insurance per year amounts to $75000.
 On some parts of the Alaska run, like that along the Aleutian Peninsula the premium for part of the year is as high as 26 per cent
 But from Seward by the Outside Passage to Seat tie or San Francisco the rate is less than onehrd the rate by the Inside Passage The difference on vessel insured for S5O0OOO would be S5OO0O in favor of the open Port of Seward. That is item that has to be charged freight rates, and must be taken into ac- count in the considerations involved in an ayear open port for railroad terminus as wisely taken into account in the selection of Resurrection Bay in prefer ence to others where the insurance risk probitive
