Stones Punch Against Criffs
This Season Attracted Cronin

Mickey Cochrane, the new manager
of the Tigers, is quoted in dispatches
from Chicago. published here today, as
admitting that, in at least one respect,
Washington got the better of the trade.
Stone has youth in his favor.
Stone has been in the big leagues less
than five years, while the Galloping
Goose has been around for II. Stone
Is q years old and Goslin 80. Even
Cochrane agrees that Stone is almost
certain to last longer than Goslin.
As far as length of service is con-
cerned Washington has the better of
the transaction. but Cochrane thinks
his immediate purposes will be served
better by Goslin. He believes that in
1884. at least, Goslin will provide the
Tigers with punch in the outfield and
Is willing to let the problems of other
years take their turn.
Stone Is product of Maryville Col
lege in Tennessee. It was there that
Tiger scouts discovered him. He was
farmed out first to Evansville In the
Three Eye League and then to Toronto
Of the International circuit. He has
been regularly with the Tigers since
1929.

Both Capable Fielders.

IN RECORD, there is little to choose
between Goslin and Stone as out
fielders. Each can go and get
'em. although the Goose is not so pol
ished in his work as the ex-Tiger. Stone
has the greater speed in the garden
and on the bases, but Goslin has the
stronger throwing arm.
In getting Stone, the Nationals snuff
an offensive power that did them no
good. While wearing the Tiger uniform.
Stone was particularly effective against
Washington pitching. This year he
hammered the Cronin curvers for the
sweet average of 1888 in 20 games.
fwenty-seven hits, two of them triples
and four doubles ratified off his bat
when he faced the Nationals. And
the only time he was sent up as a
pinch batter in a Washington-Detro
tussle he singled.
Getting him in Washington livery
disposes of one menace to the Nationals
chance to repeat their 1888 victory drive
in the next campaign.

Basky With Johnson.

TT WAS this independent attitude Of
Goslin's, more than anything else,
perhaps, that brought about his
shift from the Nationals for the Sec
ond time in his career as big Lacquer.
Never in tune with Walter Johnson,
the Wild Goose of the South Jersey
bogs baked when the old master Of
the mound assumed the Washington
management, back in 1929, and the
next season Goslin was shunted to
the Browns in a startling deal that

The playing season was not far under
way, however, before there was friction
between the Goose and Joe Cronin, the
boy manager.
An argument on the bench during a
game here in May resulted in Goslin's
summary dismissal for the remainder
of the day. This breach apparently
was healed quickly. But later in the
campaign Goslin took issue with the
manager in a matter involving fielding

CLUBS FAVORABLE

Trading at Chicago Is Brisk.
With Browns and Red Sox
Making Big Deal.

0HICAGO, December IA
l Major league club owners
~ drew of by themselves
today for their joint meet
ing, while the traders gathered
around to get in their last licks
before the annual powwow broke
up.
Foremost on the program of the
joint meeting was the discussion
Of standard base ball, and it was
expected that both leagues would
be committed to the use of a
similar sphere by the time the
meeting ended.
Five Of the six National League man.
ayers present yesterday took the initia-
tive in the movement, recommending
that a ivelier ball be adopted.
Only Bill Terry, leader of the world
champion New York Giants, voted
against the recommendation, which was
not unexpected considering the capable
way in which his hurlers maneuvered
with the less lively ball used in the
league last Summer.
The prospect was that the National
League magnates would agree to ball
similar to the American League STAN
dard, or that alterations might be made
in both base balls to make them alike.
