HAS REPLACEMENTS
FOR BORRIES, CLARK
Navy Looks to Rankin, Edwards
to Fill Shoes of Grid Stars,
Casuals This Year.

"A NNAPOLIS, Md, December 12.-
IA Two youths who faded entirely
out Of the foot ball picture at
the Naval Academy during the season
just completed may reappear next
year as the backs the eleven needs to
take the places of Buzz Berries and
Bill Clark. the able pair who will
graduate in June.
These feet backs are Bolton (Rabbit)
Rankin and Bobby Edwards, and both
are Texans as it happens. The for
mer was kept of the field by an in
jury in practice and the latter was i'll
during the Fall and could not play
foot ball.
Rankin'S career in the Naval Acad-
emy up to this time has been unique
He was in the plebe classes OF 1881
and 1882 and in 1888 played on the
varsity, being picked instead of Bor-
ries to start the Army game.
Rankin left the Acadmey after the
season of 1882. to re-enter the present
plebe class, but was injured in prac-
tice against the varsity and had to
give up for the season. Weighing only
142 pounds, Rankin is a great runner
and dodger and has been called the
Nays Albie Booth.
Edwards, crack runner and passer
on last years plebe team, should be in
shape to renew his foot ball next sea-
son.

The Prince Georges County League

Came the last game and the "seck-it-
tree" bore down-in fact, the pressure
he exerted used up half an inch OF
scoring crayon. The heavy black
marks totaled up-six spares, three
strikes-a 1872 game, tying the highest
league game rolled so far this season
for this section.
His set Of 454 is the second
high Of the current session
hereabout. Both game and set
are by far the greatest perform
ance in the annals Of the

Hornsby Likes Walker.

ITORNSBY has said that there are
great possibilities in Walker and
that he would like the player
for his outfield. So Walker might be
the best bait Griffith could use in
angling for Hadley. What Detroit
thinks Of Schultz, however, has not
been stated.
Getting something in the way of
an infielder from the White Sox to
dangle before Hornsby is out. The
Chicago gang refuses to listen to
Griffith when he talks players instead
Of money.
This is what Griffith tried to do
yesterday for the good of his ball
club:
Give Luke Sewell, veteran catcher,
to the Chicago White Sox in exchange
for Leslie Tietje, promising young
right-hand pitcher.
Get Ben Chapman, hot outfielder,
and Johnny Murphy, corking young
right-hand hurler, from the New
York Yankees in trade for Heinie
Manush, hard-hitting outfielder.
Wheedle from Rogers Hornsby,
manager Of the Browns, an. idea of
what the st. Louis club might want
for Bump Hadley, orthodox slabman,
who got his start several years ago
with the Nationals.
This is what Griffith accomplished:
Nothing.

BUYING APPEARS
ONLY REAL HOPE
Possible That Schultz May
Figure in Deal to Get
Needed Pitcher.
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
staff Correspondent of The Star,

n YEW YORK, December 12.-1t
nj begins to look as if Clark
Y Griffith will have to rip the
rubber band from the bank
roll and buy outright those pitchers
he says he needs to make his Ma
tionals an up-and-going base ball
concern next season. He certainly
is making no headway with efforts
to acquire by trade these mounds
men at the Winter meeting of the
American League.
Griffith has talked himself and
representatives of rival clubs blue in
the face and has nothing but a sore
throat as a result. So he probably
will have to part with some of that
s25o,oo0 he got from Tom Yawkey
when Joe Cronin was shipped to the
Red Sox if he would bolster his club
There may be left way to wrest
Bump Hadley from the Browns with
out any considerable outlay of money.
The Tigers are contemplating
change in their outfleld and might
be talked into giving up Gerald
Walker for Fred Schultz If Griffith
can put this deal across it is possible
he could do business with the Browns,
for Rogers Hornsby, the st. Louis
pilot, seems to be sweet on the erratic
Detroit gardener.

Outlook Not Bright.

90 FAR as the White Sox are con-
= cerned, it appears as though the
Nationals will get nowhere un.
less Jimmy Dykes, Chicago pilot, anc
other gentry connected with the club
suddenly change their minds. The
White Sox are keen about getting
Sewel. but they will listen to no over
lures regarding Tietje right now.
The Chicago clan did make a cash
offer-amount not divulged-for the
veteran Washington catcher. But
Griffith was colder than the real Win
ter weather here to this offer. Again
he insisted he is not here to sell
players, but to trade them. So the
White Sox crew said if he felt that
way about it, he would have to ped
die Sewell elsewhere. Dykes and his
associates certainly were not going to
part with Tfetje, they declared.
There seemed something phoney
about the Yankee talk with respect
to the proposed trade of Manush to
the club here and it developed there
was. Joe Mccarthy, manager of the
Yanks, led interviewers to understand
he had offered Chapman in a straight
barter for Manush, but called the deal
of because Griffith asked for Murphy
in addition to Chapman.
Never Offered Chapman.
Mccarthy was right about Griffith S
demand. But it was learned from
Bucky Harris and the others Of the
Washington club contingent here that
Mccarthy never offered Chapman.
Instead he said he would give us
Russ Van Alta, left-hand pitcher, and
some untried talent for "Heinie," II
was revealed by Harris. And neither
Bucky nor Griffith could see that
kind Of trade.
Griffith and Hornsby spent hours
together without getting anywhere.
But Griffith has not abandoned hope
of getting Hadley or some other right
hand pitcher from the Browns. The
three-club proposition may get the
Nationals the moundsman so sorely
needed.
Ossie Bluege, the old Washington
standby, still looks good to the Ameri-
can League managers despite his low
batting average of recent seasons. A
determined drive to lure him from the
Nationals has been launched, with
Griffith not rising to the bait.
Bluege in Demand.
TINE Browns figure they could use
him as an emergency infielder
and so do the Tigers. Mike
Cochrane, Detroit manager, offered
nothing more than cash for the
veteran. Cleveland also is angling for
Ossie, and Walter johnson, the Tribal
chief, was told that his club would be
given first consideration II the Ma
tionals decided to part with their
sterling infielder. Harris, however, in
sists that Bluege again will be wearing
the Washington uniform next year.
Oddly. there have been no bidders
for Fred Schultz up to today. When
he announced that this outfelder
would be on the block, Griffith an
ticipated several offers for Schulte's
services and believed a deal most ad-
vantageouS to the Nationals might be
arranged. So far, Schultz has been
overlooked. With the Tigers still after
an experienced outfelder, however,
Fred might figure in a deal before the
majors Winter session ends.

Criffmen Play Leading Roles
In Educational Diamond Film:
AU.Star Game to Cleveland

The picture will be distributed to
colleges and schools, boys clubs and
other civic organizations. The base
ball crowd certainly is eager TO bring
everybody back to the game.
Characteristic poses of all the star
players of the American League are
shown. Washington players filmed
are Heinie Manush, Earl Whitehill,
Walter Stewart and Buddy Myer. In
the picture, wearing the uniform of
the Nationals, also is Joe Cronin.
Manush depicts the power that may
be packed into short, decisive bat
ting swing.
Whitehilrs pitching delivery
is carefully detailed as an excel
lent example of this phase of
mound work.
Stewart shows how a pitcher should
grip the ball. Myer and Cronin give
demonstrations of concerted fielding
about second base and also of how
bunting may be made fine art.
THERE Is lot of trade talk being
done by the American Leaguers
In the hotel where the annual
meeting Is on-but it Is merely talk
the boys seem to be afraid of getting
gypped-and no vonder-everybody
appears to be in the market for a ball
club in exchange for an old first base
mans glove.
A long line of gold prospectors
leads daily to Tom Yawkey,
owner of the Red Sox, and an
untamed bank roll.
The fancy prices Boston has paid
for players has other prospective deal
ers talking in telephone numbers
Why We can't get even a good bat
boy for less than S25,000," says Eddie
Collins, the general manager of the
club.
They're calling Clark Griffith the
man who makes deals with a safety
razor-and shying away from the
Washington prexy-his reputation of
having made many slick trades in the
past has 'em all frightened.
Walter johnson will manage the
Indians again-although he has yet
to sign a contract-and Walter says
his club is off the player market-"We
can do with what We have now that
Campbell is with us-I think he will
go good for US in right field-and a
right fielder with hitting strength was
all the Indians needed to make them
a good combination"

Rome called Gabe and Jack the

they decided to give the boys a good
stuffing. They did!
Messrs Richmond B. Keech and
John Saul were two of the honored
guests, the one and only Cy Cum

tinction, and delegation representing
University of Maryland was very much
in evidence.
1t was the well-known Faber,
Mackert, ShipIey and Pollock
quartet bringing appetites and
messages of good cheer from
College Park to the festive
board Of old Georgetown.
An impromptu pool tournament fol-
lowed the usual session of table talk,
and it was nothing short of astound-
ing that so many of the country's
worst cue wielders elected themselves
as contestants. The Posts Povich was
disqualified as ringer when he ran
two straight. Silent Mush Dubofsky
could drop the white ball on every
shot-he and Joe Roberts, the demon
click and flash man, had their own
private tourney based on low number
of scratches.

Quarles Needs Experience.
TACK FABER of Maryland is much
interested in the progress of Nor
ment Quarles, the clouting kid
from Carolina.
The Terp coach reminded us that
the little fair-haired puncher was
rated so highly in collegiate ranks
that none of the conference boxers
had any desire to face that whipping
left hook-he was a veritable killer"
in amateur rings.
But up against the seasoned
professional fighter Quarles has
tough going. Even the so-called
dog can make him look none
too good.
Some of the critics commit them
selves to the extent of saying Quarles
needs about two years of pro scrap
ping and judicious matching to give
him the class of a polished ringman.

Rule Debates.
HOWARD JONES of Southern
II California wants the offensive
side of foot ball bolstered up.
He is an advocate Of five down. I'VE
used to have three downs in which to
make S yards" he says. Nov We have
four downs in which to make 10 yards.
That means almost twice the ground
to be gained to keep an attack moving
along. AS 1t is now, teams usually
kick on the third down II they need 8
or 4 yards for a first-down start. I
am also in favor of a forward pass
thrown from any spot back of the
line, and legislation that will give
the lateral a better chance. The
players like offensive foot ball and SO
do the spectators"
Wont this turn the game into bas-
ket ball?" some one asked.
You'll never turn foot ball into
basket ball." Jones said, "as long as We
have tackling and blocking"
Bob Zuppke of Illinois disagrees vio-
lently with the five down plan.
Let the game stand as 1t is" he
said, "or else get round rubber ball,
a rubber field and rubber goal posts"
What about a forward pass thrown
from any place back Of the lines?" I
asked the Illinois philosopher, painter
and coach.
II can't fight that change, zuppke
said. 1T would help the offense and
also give faster, lighter teams better
chance against too much power"
"As it is now" Howard Jones re-
marked, "the passer has to fade back
6 or 7 yards-maybe 8-to be sure he
has reached the 5-yard spot. This
fading back removes all element of
surprise or deception"
There is no questioning the fact
that pass thrown from any spot back
of the line would bolster up both the
passing and the running game and
bring about faster moving game-a
game of swifter action up and down
the field
This happens to be something both
the player and the public favor-and
these are the people who make modern
foot ball what it is.
