BENGE IN DEAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The ef-
forts of Manager Max Carey to
obtain a right-handed pitcher to
bolster the Dodgers hurting staff
were crowned with success today
when he completed a deal with
Philadelphia which brings Ray
Benge to Brooklyn.
The Dodgers gave Mickey Finn,
second baseman, Pitcher Cy
Moore, Jackie Warner, an in
fielder, and an unnamed amount
of cash.
The deal was closed after Cary
and Dave Driscoll, business man
ager of the Dodgers, ended q
series Of negotiations with Man
ager Burt Shotten and President
Nugent, of the PhillieS.
Other major league clubs had
been seeking Benge, but the Phil
adelphia club was in urgent need
of second baSeman, and finally
accepted the Brooklyn offer.

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. IS.
Bill Alexander must have taken
a leaf out of Howard Jones' book,
or vice versa, for the Georgia

but he's strong for touchdowns.

the line and Goldsmith stops the

However, he was elected by
popular demand by his mates who
know of his capabilities on the
football field when in the right
physical trim.
The banquet last night was at

40 Candidates.
At HOWARD

Nearly forty candidates are out
for the Howard University basket
ball team.
Coach John Burr will have the
trouble Of picking an entire new
team as not a single regular from

guard for three seasons, has been

Sallie Hall, his running mate, is
ineligible because of a conference

Who selected Michigan as the

the basis of his rating system,
today sought to clear up a
misunderstanding regarding a

reference was made to a letter

stated: Nothing would please
me better than to see the trophy

Reynolds Is o. K.

There is little fault locally
to find with Carl Reynolds, he
having done about as much
here last summer, in view of
his setback at the hands of
Bill Dickey, as any player
could possibly do.
Sammy West has been a
great outfielder for Washing
ton, but an Indifferent stick
smith. Could he hit as well as
he fields, he'd be a second
iris Speaker, and well lay to
that.
Lloyd Brown is a credit to
any mans team and in Secur-
ing him, st. Louis gets a
pitcher who has many a good
year ahead Of him. Briefly,
both teams exchanged real
value and it remains to be
seen which actually profits the
most.
The Washington times., 1932-12-15
Valuable on Bench

Wally Stewart has been the
apple of Clark Griffith's eyes
for a long, long time. The erst-
while st. Louis southpaw would
be valuable here even if he
merely pitched in practice or
sat on the bench, because he
has ever been a stumbling block
to the Griffmen, cheating them
out Of many a game which
might otherwise have gone to
their credit.
Freddy Schultz will occupy
the centerfield at Griffith Sta
dium next season, giving the
team both good fielding and
good hitting, something Sammy
West was unable to combine in
his work.
Goose Goslin will play on the
opposite side Of the outfield
than he did when here previ-
ously, Manush to keep the left
field berth. Can you imagine
the murderers' row washington
will boast with Schultz. Cronin.
ManuSI and GoSlin on the
heavy end Of the batting order?
Yea. there's a lot in the re-
cent baseball development local
1y to encourage the run of the
mine Washington fan and it
certainly looks as though better
things were ahead for the Griff-
men.

A Mooted Question

Thousands of Washington
ians are glad to see Goose Cos
lin back in the home town uni
form. Thousands Of others are
indifferent about the Goose.
and others still would be glad
il, they never saw him again.
But that is a healthy state of
affairs and furnishes those rare
bones of contention which are
really the very life blood Of
the game.
Many were Of the belief that
Goslin's going hence from
Washington was a piece Of
spite work in view of his hav-
ing been involved in a salary
dispute with Owner Griffith.
Whether that is so, only one
man can say. and we doubt
very much if Clark Griffith
has reached his present base
bali .affluence by doing things
''for spite."
Anyway, the Goose is home
and everything hangs high.
New interest in the local club
is engendered through the COM
ing Of Goslin, Stewart and
Schultz, and indeed other
trades may season the winter
league before these very type
are cold.

Louis Browns.
His wire to The Times tells it in
this manner:
washington Club Has Sold
Coffman Outright To st. Louis"
Coffman came to the Griffs
last summer in the trade which
sent Pitcher Carl Fischer to the
Browns along with a bundle Of
cash.
COffman'S Background
He first entered the big leagues
in 1925 when the Griffs picked
him up from the Chattanooga
Club of the Southern Association.
He was sent to Jersey City of
the International League in 1927
and recalled during the winter of
1928 and sent to the st. Louis
Browns in a trade which also sent
Outfielder Earl McNeeley to the
Missouri Club for Pitcher Milton
CASTOR.
After coming back to the GriffS
last summer for Carl Fischer and
a bundle of cash, the lanky pitcher
could not get going for some rea-
son or other.
Finally Clicked
Actually he lost seven straight
games before finally entering the
winning column for the Griffs-
that auSpicious occasion being
late in the camaign when he
bested Ivy Andrews of the Boston
Red Sox in a l to 0 hurting duel.
Coffman's going means that
