Griff and Cronln did two
things while at Gotham. They
strengthened the pitching staff
of the Griffmen and followed
by adding batting strength.
But one of the most important
items was missed-yes, just plain
missed. They failed to grab a
capable catcher to either take
the place of the brittle Roy Spen-
Ger or aid that same individual
behind the bat.
Reports had it before the big
Griff-St. Louis deal that Rick
Ferrell, star backstop of the
Browns, was coming here in a
big trade hanging fire. But in
stead the transaction ran off in
other directions with Goslin,
Schultz and Stewart being sent
this way in exchange for Carl
Reynolds, Sam West and Lefty
Lloyd Brown.
Then there was the Marberry-
Whitehill deal. Just an exchange
of pitchers took place in this in
stance, with the club still hold
ing the bag" for want of that
capable catcher. "
Boss to Cleveland
Yesterdays final trade climaxed
the hopes that backstop was
going to be added. Harley Boss
was sent to the Cleveland Indians
for Jack Russell, pitcher, and
Bruce Connatser, first baseman,
and a bundle of cash.
Sc eemingly, this transaction
means the end of Prexy Griff's
trading plans for the remainder
Of the winter. OF course, there's
a chance that it may not be the
curtain, but all indications point
to the thought that the Griffmen
will depend on Roy Spencer as
firSt-string catcher in 1888.
Prexy Griff put some light on
the subject by saying these words
this morning:
"CrOnin and tried to get a
catcher while in New York, but
our several efforts fell through.
/ won't say I'm actually through
trying to get one, but from the
looks of things, 1 don't think
we'll be able to do any further
dealing. My plan now is to de-
velOp the yOungSter, Cliff BOl-
ton. He's q vastly improved
ball player and could be trained
to be a great 2help to both
Spencer and the team next
year."
And there you have it in plain
black and white and all rights re-
served. If nothing else can be
done about it, Spencer and Bolton
it'll be next year when it comes
to naming the teams catching
staff.
Maybe Spencer won't be such
an uncertainty in 1888. If that
case presents itself and Bolton
comes through as expected, Prexy
Griff, Manager Joe Cronin and

West to Aid Browns

Of 1880, when he batted 1928,
or 1881, when he had a mark
of 1893, the deal will make a
first division outfit out Of

John Drebinger, of the New
York Times had this to say:
Both President Clark Grif-
fifth of the Senators and Man
ager Bill Killefer of the Browns
appeared highly pleased over
their transaction, although
opinion among baseball OBJ
servers in general seemed to
be that the Washington club
had received a trifIe the better
Of the exchange.
Gas between the two pitchers,
Stewart is believed to have
turned in a slightly better
record than Brown last year,
despite the fact that the fig
ures seem to indicate the Ye-
verse;"

For instance, Charlie Segar,
Of the New York Mirror
wrote:
5 "The Griffmen got the bet
ter of the deal with the Browns
in the first big American
League DEAL"
s-1Bill Brabnt, of the Phila-
helphia Public Ledger:
s.r"Because of Goslin's pro-
nOunced faculty for being a
tglugger when wearing Sen
atOrial vestments and the fact
that Washington included an
unspecified cash bundle, the
Senators are credited with
winning the trade. On figures,
1t shapes up as a fairly even

PIRATES
SEEN AS FLAG
CONTENDERS
By QUENTIN REYNOLDS


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The
tumult and the shouting dies, the
captains and the kings depart,
and now the smoke of battle and
cigars is lifting we can all get
together to see who won the war.
In language less fancy the base
ball meetings are over, the trade
winds have come. and gone and
ordinary fans can look at their
favorite clubs and decide whether
they have been improved by the
frantic swapping that has been
going on these past three days.
Griffith and Gibson
AS the baseball men left this
city of broken hearts and bent
mudguards last night they seemed
to be a bit disgruntled-that is,
unless they hailed from Wash
ington or Pittsburgh. Clark Grit
fifth, of Washington, who is called
the 'Silver Fox" because he once
bit one and impaired ShrewdnesS
and craftinesS to the breed, and
George Gibson, of Pittsburgh,
whose wide baby blue eyes and
smiling countenance cover a null
titude of baseball brains, were
hard pressed to keep from laugh
ing out loud.
It is a mater of record that
as Gibson left the Hotel RooSe-
velt after the joint meeting of
both leagues he slapped Griffith
on the back and said, "See you
next october, sweetheart" Grit.
fifth, ever sparing of words. wam-
pun and wisecrackS, answered
only. That's right, Glib"
That brilliant bit of repartee
summed up the. opinion of the
Washington and Pittsburgh clubs
as to their pennant chances next
year.
Acquired One Man
The Pirates acquired only one
man-but he is the kind to whom
you can say: Take two and hit
to right" and he will obey orders.
He is nobody but Freddy Lind
strom who, with those pesky
Waner boys, should form the
incest looking outfield seen in any
league since Mr.. Doubleday
changed the game from FOUNDERS
to baseball.
1t is true Brooklyn bought itself
Ray Benge, a nice bit of pitching
and it is equally true the Giants
bobbed up with George Davis md
a fellow named Spencer but they
are strictly a couple of country
ball players who may or may not
be the Mccoy. The fact remains
that the Pirates only stand out as
being definitely improved.
Real COntenders
AS for Washington, the Sen
ators are an American League
contender and have been since
Wednesday, when Goose Goslin,
Fred Schultz and Walter Steward
changed their address from St.
Louis. They assumed all of the
major proportions as a menace
when they likewise acquired Earl
Whitehill from Detroit, and that
is the reason for the furrow in
the classic brow of Col. Jake Rup-
pert, owner of the Yankees.
There were other trades, of
course, but the important thing is
that Pittsburg and Washington
came into the meeting on Tues
day as just a couple of other ball
clubs, and they leave today tough
and truculent, ready to fight any
body in the house for So and
eVen-money bets or thereabouts to
dethrone the Yankees and the
Cubs, who last year won the
leagues pennantS without very
much trouble at all.

at long range and making Nc
Larnin do the leading, as Jimmy

smiling Vancouverite could lose
if his fragile hands crack up on
him, as they did in his first fight
with Billy Petrolle.

WATERWAY WILDE
! COMPLETED IN 1883
Great Lakeside Gulf Project
Will Be Finished Ahead
Of Schedule

Chicago, Jan. 6.-(AP)-Assuran
has been given that the 100000, 900
Illinois waterway, providing a freight
outlet from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf Of Mexico, will be completed be-
fore 1893:
Industrial and agricultural leaders
of the midwest have declared they
regard the project as the most inn
portant transportation development in
years. Lower freight rates for prod
ucts being shipped to scores Of points
are regarded as probable result.
Original plans were to have the
waterway. q 100-nile excavation lead
ing from Lake Michigan to Utica, ILL.,,
ready for passage OF freight barges
by May l, 1888. It had been general
ly believed, however, delays in con-
struction would cause q postponement
of several months.
First indication the waterway would
be completed earlier than expected
was received Tuesday In an announce
ment from the war department at
Washington containing information
that work on the waterway had pro-
crossed faster than had been expected
and that 1t probably would be COM
pleted by next October Is.

23-StOry Building
Is Plan for Capitol
Architects Drawing Up Design
For Structure to Be
Topped BY Tower
FINAL APPROVAL NOT GIVEN
Members Of Commission EN-.
phasize Fact That Arrange
ments Are Indefinite

Architects for the new 100000
state capitol are drawing up tenta-
tive plans for q 23-story building to
be submitted to the state capitol COM
mission, G. A. Fraser, member of the
commission, said Wednesday.
A meeting of the commission is ex-
pected to be held here sometime this
month to consider the design.
Members Of the commission infor-
mally have expressed interest in the
design, Fraser said, but no definite
steps have been taken yet toward ap.
prevail. The plan Is one Of many. but
Is the outstanding one, Fraser stated.
The tentative plan of the architects
Is to build two wings, adjoining one
another. each wing to contain q
chamber for the legislative assembly.
while the 23-story tower is set off at
the end of the wings for use for state
offices.
The drafting OF plans for such a
structure, Fraser said, was undertaken
after thorough study Of the capitol
site, and are to be offered as design
that will harmonic with the land
Scape. The design departs from the
symmetrical tower effect. which
would place the tower in the center
Of the wings. The architects believe
that such structure would not har-
monte with the site on which the
building Is to be located.
Low building costs. Fraser said,
would enable the commission to con-
struct q building that under previous
costs would take approximately ST.
100000.

CANISTER KEEPS
WORD TO POLICE:
BONDSREC0VERED
Nearly $4,000, 900 in Stolen
Securities Given to OFF,
Gals in Chicago

Chicago, Jan. 6.-(P)-The denoue-
ment Of the 1ooting of the Lincoln
National Bank and Trust company
the largest bank robbery in history
has come with recovery of nearly
100000 in stolen bonds. which were
returned to their rightful owners be-
cause gangster kept his word.
Gus Winkler, reputed Brains" Of
the gang OF Fred Burke. "the killer
and an associate Of the organization
of "Scarface" AL Capone, was the
gangster who kept his promise. de-
sipte the fact that he had what au-
thOrities said was an iron-clad abb.
namely that he was in Buffalo, N. Y,
when machine gunnerS looted the
Lincoln bank in September Of 1880.
The denouement came Tuesday aft
ernoon in the office of the secret
six" Chicago crime fighting organiza-
ton. when negotiable securities worth
$583, 900 were handed to w. E. Bark
ley, a directing officer of the bank.
by Sergeant Roy Steffens. In the
presence Of Max Towle, county attor-
ney of Lincoln, Neb., Winkler had al
ready supplied proof of the destruc-
ton Of $2,2l7,000 worth of registered
bonds, making issuance of new certi-
ficateS possible.
r. G. Saunders, chief Of the pro-
tective department of the Illinois
Bankers association, said the recov-
cry reduced the loss to a mere $4,000
or $4,000. which may be cut by re-
storation of other stolen securities
which have been traced.
Where the securities had been hid
den or from whom Winkler obtained
them remained a mystery. It was
learned, however, they were left In q
cheap suitcase placed on a street cor
ner. where they were picked up by
Sergeant Steffens early last Monday
morning.
