BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n YEW YORK, October 18.-As
IN the climax to his steady
/ Y rise toward the top, Charles
Herbert (Chuck) Klein OF
Indianapolis, cleanup clouter of
the Philadelphia Nationals, today

ball experts for the distinction OF

Frank Frisch, the 1881 winner, re-
ceived only three points. one less than
the young st. Louis pitcher, Dizzy Dean
Hack Wilson of Brooklyn, 1890 selection

offensive department., besides showing
speed and skill on the defense. He fin
ished third in the National League bat
ting race with 346, tied with Mel OFT
for home run leadership with SO, led
both leagues In run-scortng with 154
drove in 1874 runs and stole 20 bases.

~ RANK O'DOUL won the batting
- championship Of the National
League, signed a contract to
i play with Brooklyn next year,
bought a new suit of clothes,
and took the westward trek to San
Francisco, where a steamship awaited
him bound for Honolulu and some
Islands.
1t is the second time that he has
been batting champion Of the Ma
tional League-the same ODoul who
once was meek bush pitcher, being
The American League picks up players
and managers and gets the better of
the National League as q rule, but luck
turned on 1t in the instance Of O'Doul.
N,DOUL'S unofficial batting mark

good a record as he had in 1929.
when he hit for 1893. But in 1929 he had
the benefit of the sacrifice fly rule, that
phony old bonus to batters; and all
that he got in 1882 he earned, be-
cause he was making record by real
hits and not on long flies-which were
mostly as easy to catch as floating
bean-bag.
ODoul's batting this year, as COM
pared with his record of 1893 in 1929,
provides the first worthwhile test Of the
part that the abolition of the sacrifice
fly has played in batting averages. In
the case of batting championship, it
cut his average about 80 points.
The first year in which the sacrifice
fly was abolished, President John Heyd-
ler of the National League figured that
batters were losing about II 1Qnts in
their batting percentages In TIE early
part Of the season.
OTHERs made the loss higher than
~ that. Whatever 1t was, 1t made a
fictitious percentage and it was all
in favor Of the batter who could hit long
flies. Some batters are not as good long
hitters as others, but are better infield
and short hitters. They had been dis
eliminated against when the sacrifice
fly was in vogue, because the fungo hit
ters had been getting an addition to
their percentages by Tying out to the
outf1eld.
Rogers Hornsby roared when the sac
rifice fly was abolished. Every one Of
his batting records was helped by the
sacrifice fly.
It appears that the 400 batter is
doomed for the present. The first player
to make 400 mark without the benefit
of the sacrifle fly will hold undisputed
right to be called the greatest batter in
modern base ball.
ODoul says any batter who can hit
$50 or better under the present per-
fected batting rule is as good as Q 400
batter in other days and should be 20
regarded.

ReynoldS). He ran an easy touch
down. Colgate won, 1877.
Samuel's generalship in this in
stance was ideal. OF course, any one
of the three line smasl1es might have
meant q touchdown But it made
little difference if they failed. Their
effect was to keep the Brown men
behind the line drawn tight in.
Every circumstance favored the pass
when it finally was sprung as q sur
prise. Actually the smashes were
made merely to pave the way for the
pass.
Here was a clever detail: The first
three times No. 3 blocked out the
defensive right end. On the fourth
occasion he let him charge unhanl-
pered, while he helped No. block
the defensive right tackle. The
Brown player actually saw Samuel
receive the ball from No. 4. He
dived for Samuel, as was natural. It
was a mistake. Had he diagnosed
the play, he would have blocked No.

BIG DIAMOND DEAL
FADES IN DEN|A[S
Rumored Swap involved Four
N. L. Clubs in a Million.
Dollar Transaction.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

N YEW YORK, October 18-That,
nj half-million dollar base ball
v trade, rumored up Boston way,
lad drawn string Of denials
from every interested party today and
left the seven players, said to be in
volved, exactly where they were before
the report was published.
The rumor, as printed In a Boston
evening paper, said the deal, still in
the making, involved four National
League clubs-the Chicago Cubs, Boston
Braves, Cincinnati Reds and New York
Giants.
Figuring in the impending four-cor-
nered swap, the paper said, were Hazen
Cuyler, Pat Malone and Gabby Hartnett
of the Cubs, Frank Hogan and Freddy
Lindstrom of the Giants, Wally Berger
of the Braves and Floyd (Babe) Her
man Of the Reds. Eventually, the re-
port said, Berger and Herman would
land with the Giants, Lindstrom and
Hogan with the Cubs, Cuyler and Hart
nett with the Braves, and Malone with
the Reds.
All four clubs wasted no time getting
into print with denials that any such
involved trade was in the making. All
said they were in the market for play
ers to strengthen weak spots, as they
always are, but added they knew
nothing of any spectacular four-cor-
pered nIayer exchange.
THARLEs F. ADAMS, vice president
~ of the Braves, said his club was
seeking to strengthen lts roster
and that President Emil Fuchs and
Manager Bill McKechnie were scouting
around for new material.

hard enough to make a good deal with
only two clubs involved, but when you
drag in half of the league, that certainly
is another matter" -,
William L. Veeck of the Cubs said
the Cubs have mot talked with any
one about trading Malone, Hartnett and
Cuyler and would not unless plenty was
offered in exchange"
I'VE have done some dicker1ng with
other National League clubs, but only
with the idea of disposing OF some OF
our minor ranking players"

nj report of the Executive Com
" mittee Of the National Associa-
ton Of Minor Leagues has been
prepared. It k reported to contain q
recommendation that minor league clubs
should not be operated by major league
outfits. wholly or partially, If the
higher-up club does not identify itself
as strongly with the minor league as It
does with the major league.
That is walloping the base bali chain
store system with kid glove. The
Committee Of Five doesn't want chain
stores to be run as sordid speculative
enterprises. No big league club should
get into the minors solely for the pur-
pose Of making one minor club or two
or three of them, prosaic filling stations

The report of the Committee Of Five
on the chain-store or farming system
will result in abundance OF argument
