Harris Sees Red Sox as Flag

of Three Stars.

special Dispatch TO The Star.
0HICAGO, December 13.-
l Washington was passed
~ by in the only deals made
by American League mag
mates in their first days session
Of their annual Winter meeting
here. Clark Griffith, Joe Cronin
and Eddie Eynon roamed the
lobby of the Palmer House,
strangely undisturbed by the
trades that involved Philadelphia
with Boston, Detroit and Chicago.
Griffith and Cronin are willing to lis
ten to any reasonable proposals made
by any rival clubs, but on the whole are
willing to stand pat on the Washington
club as it now stands:
Rumors that Washington may dispose
OF Goose Goslin have had no substanti-
alton.
Rogers Hornsby declares that if Grif-
nth wants Sammy West for the WASH
lngton team he will have to pay heavy
price. HOrnSby wants one established
star and couple of good prospects be-
lore he will even talk of letting West go
and Cronin will not wreck his team to
get the feet Texan back to the Capital
Gives Harris Fine Nucleus.
TINE success of Boston in landing
Grove, Walbe-g and Bishop from
the Athletics interests Washing
ton fans because those players will give
Bucky Harris the nucleus of winning
team in 1884.
Harris was immensely pleased when
the deal was announced and believes the
RED Sox will be pennant contenders
next season. With Grove and Walberg,
the Red Sox will have one of the best
pitching staffs in the American League
and Bucky needs only to help his infield
toAhave fine team
Harris is delighted with the way in
which Tom Yawkev and Eddie Collins
have strengthened the team and can see
nothing but success ahead for the next
few years.
In making trades with three clubs,
Connie Mack received a total of about
S3OO,OO0, most Of which will be used to
pay off the losses of the 1888 season.
With the rest. Connie will start rebuild
ing the Athletics, although at the age of
II he may never live to see the fruition
of his plans. Mack held up announce
ment Of his deals until late Tuesday
evening. p-eferring to take the iolt from
the fans in one lump rather than dis
tr1buttng 1t to three statements.
Cronin Still boy Manager"
Joe Cronin seems to have regained all
OF the enthusiasm lost during the world
series and was one of the first to con-
gratulate Mickey Cochrane on his ap-
potntment as Detroit manager.
How old are you, Mickey?"
Just turned 30" replied Cochrane.
"Well, Joe. that insures you retaining
the title of boy MANAGE for some time
to come" interrupted bystander. So
Cronin was satisfied for the time being.
Joe is one of the busiest takers at the
meeting and is constantly parading the
lobbies with Lew Fonseca of the White
Sox, his buddy in San Francisco. Joe
will return to the Pacific Coast soon
after the meeting and likely without
having transacted any deals.
When Clark Griffith approaches a
trade his brother magnates lock up their
purses and rings.
That's how Griff won the title of
"Old Fox" and the boys are giving him
no chance to exercise his trading skill
Being the champion. Washington will
get no breaks in the trading market and
likely will attempt no deals

FIRST DEAL PUT AS
IN CELLAR I YEARS
More Money Involved This
Time, but 1914 Shake.Up
Was Devastating.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DHLADELPHIA, December 10.
r Its 10 years since Connie
L Mack broke up his pennant-
winning 100000 infield,"
but that upheaval apparently
still stands as the most devastat-
ing to the Athletics.
There's no doubt that the sensational
sales announced yesterday at Chicago
overshadow them financially, but the
transactions that started at the close
Of the 1914 season, after the AS had
lost four straight games Of the world
series to the amazing Boston Braves,
before or since.
The AS lost II players at that time,
compared to 5 yesterday and, whereas
the ak severed the ace batteries from
the 1888 lineup, in the earlier shake
up Mack lost his star pitchers,
strongest hitters and one of the games
greatest second basemen.
First to go in that selling spree
which astounded the base ball world
was Eddie Collins, stellar second-sacker.
who went to the Chicago White Sox
for then record price of $4,000. BY
a unique coincidence, Collins now part
owner and general manager of the
Boston Red Sox, bought two of Mack's
pitchers and his second baseman yes
terday.
Soon after he sold Collins. Mack lost
his three best pitchers, Jack 1ron
Mani Coombs, who went "a innings
in one game to defeat the Red Sox
in 1906; Chief Bender and Eddie Plank.
Bender and Plank jumped to the Fed
eral League. and Coombs was given his
release, later joining the Brooklyn
club.
These changes brought the AS no
cash. but the lean pilot garnered
s60.000 for the club by selling Catcher
Wally Schang, BULLET Joe" Bush, star
hurler. and Outfielder Amos Strunk to
the Red Sox. In addition to the cash,
Mack got three players from Boston.
Vean Gregg, Chet Thomas and Irwin
Kopp.
1t was about this time the AS lost
Frank Home RUM Baker, the Babe
Ruth Of his day. He retired tempo
Yankees. Pitcher Bob Shawkey who
managed the Scranton team of the
New York-Pennsylvania League last
season. also went to the Yankees for
the waiver price.
In other deals Jack Barry, a sterling
shortstop. was sold to Boston and Out
fielder Rube Oldring to the Yankees
The loss Of all this power put Con-
ME Mack In the tail-end class for the
first time In his career and he was
long time in the cellar.
: From 1915 he finished In last place
for seven consecutive seasons before
starting the rebuilding campaign that
eliminated in his splendid triumphs
of 1929, 1880 and 1881.

5r Undubed As Scatter Fe Aces Clubs for 100000
On the
Side Lines
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON

10 FAR as can be foretold
at this early date the
~ Washington club is not
likely to be affected by
Connie Mack'S sensational dis
posal of his five stars, except
that the Nationals, along with
every other team in the Ameri-
can League, should gain sub
Stantially in a financial way.
In completing the virtual disrup-
tion of his team, started last year
when he shipped AL Simmons. Mule
Haas and Jimmy Dykes to Chicago,
the septuagenarian boss of the Ath-
letics has strengthened Boston and
Detroit, as well as the White Sox, to
an extent that will be felt all down
the line. >.
So far as the artistic aspect Of
Mack's maneuvering concerns the
Griffmen he simply has given the
Red Sox virtual assurance Of a first
division berth in place Of his own
team by handing them Grove. Wal
berg and Bishop.
The other first flight entrants, New
York and Cleveland, are unaffected,
and in sending Mickey Cochrane to
manage and catch for Detroit and
transferring George Earnshaw to
ho nlxr !, - h.
pie of clubs that need plenty of boil
stering to get out of the second d.
vision.
On the face of things it would ap-
pear Mack has wrecked his team to
such an extent that it will vie with
the Browns as the weak sister of the
circuit. but with Jimmy Fox to build
around and such promising talent as
Higgins, Cramer, Madjeski. Williams,
Coleman Finney. Peterson and Cain,
to which he has made valuable addi-
tions in Catcher Charles Berry and
Pitcher Bob Kline, the tall tactician
will have group of ambitious young
sters who promise to offer their rivals
plenty of competition.
4 TO the effect the riddling Of
~ the AS will have on the turn
stiles at Shibe Park, they
haven't clicked very we'll anyhow for
the past two years, and with an ag-
gregation of hustling kids and SUM-
day ball now available for the first
time, Philly fans may be expected to
turn out fully as generously as they
have been.
In addition, Mack not only has
pulled his business enterprise out of
the "red" through the upward Of
$500, 900 received in cash for his
aces, but will save so enormously in
top-ndtch salaries he should have
something left over with which to
further strengthen his club through
purchases.
So far as the league as a whole is
concerned. the practical assurance
that the Red Soy will have a pen
nant contender is the most gratify-
ing development in years. Boston
is one of the best base ball towns in
the country. bar none. and with a
winner for the first time since 1918
every team in the loop should profit
handsomely from the throngs that
may be expected to pile into Fenway
Park, which Owner Yawkey has en-
larged and modernized with Just
such an eventuality in mind.
