And the indoor season, which

Right after Christmas, athletes
from all parts of this continent and
Europe, including the Scandinavian,
will start training in earnest for the
menu Of indoor competitions which
begins in the East with the Millrose
Games in Madison Square Garden on
February 2. Never has there been
such prospect for record-breaking
distance runs and sprints.
For one thing, Henry Nelson Of
Denmark, who recently fractured
Paavo Nurmis record of 8 minutes
20 2-5 seconds for 5000 meters by
full seconds, has agreed to appear in
New York as often as he is asked,
which will be one Saturday night
after another.
Nelson is said TO be the
greatest running machine to
appear on an American track
since Nurmi and Willie RitoIa.
Nelson sets a fast pace and stays
fast. His first appearance probably
will be in the 5000 meters in the
Millrose competition, unless he can
be persuaded to meet Cunningham,
the Kansas cyclone, and Bill Bon
thron, ex-Princetonian, who may
race the mile or 1,500 meters again
this Winter.

ball, that s250,o0o. These days, when
most clubs need plenty to get the
wrinkles out of their money bags it's
a tremendous amount. Griffith may
have thought the prices the gang had
been asking outrageous. Well, he
! amt heard nothin' yet.
Cronin Plays Safe.
EULL details OF the Cronin sale to
Il the Red Sox divulged here late
yesterday astounded all the base
ball world gathered for the business
sessions excepting. Of course, the two
clubs involved. Never before in ma jor
trading had any amount approaching
S250,000 figured in the price for one
ball player. And not IN many years
is there likely to be another sale in
volving such stupendous sum.
The original bill of sale was penned
completely by Yawkey on a sheet of
hotel stationery last October 25, when
Griffith made flying trip to New
York to see the Red Sox owner 1t
provided for a down payment of
100000. payment of S150,000 be-
tween next January l and March l
and the transfer of the contract Of
Lyn Larry, shortstop, to the Washing
ton club in exchange for the con-
tract of Player Manager Joe Cronin.
A feature of the contract,
unprecedented in base ball,
carefully protected Cronin's in
terests. 1t provided that the
Boston club must arrange terms
with Cr0nin wholly satisfactory
to him as player r-manager to
complete the sale.
So that's how Cronin got his FIVE
year contract at $4,000 per with the
Red Sox, contract with no Today
clause that would give Boston a
chance to fire him at any time. Joe
dictated those terms that mean a
cool $150,000 for him in the next
flve years, whether or not the Boston
club wants to retain him.
Deal Involves $4,000.
THERE'S enough money in this
i Cronin deal to provide playing
material-and good material
Tor an entire average big League club.
The affair represents a turnover of
s440, 900 without even considering the
salary Larry will get next season.
In addition to the $685. 900 cash, the
Red Sox are turning over to the Ma
tionals $4,000 worth of ball player in
Larry. They actually paid but $35,O00
in cash to the Yankees for Lyn, but
they also gave up player that had
cost them $4,000. That makes s290, 900.
Now add Cronin's five-year salary and
you have more money than any one of
several big league outfits has netted
in the past 10 years.
Yawkey insisted upon going
through with the deal, even
through when he first made his
offer Of S250,000 he was told by
Griffith that no ball player was
worth that much money.
That was during the world series in
Detroit early in October. Yawkey-
again pressed Griffith after the latter
had returned to Washington. Finally
the Nationals presidents said he would
make a deal if the Red Sox would
give in addition to the $250,000 Lyn
Larry, shortstop. Yawkey baked at
that, but Griffith said there would he
no deal unless Washington got a
replacement for Cronin.
Yawkey yielded and in response to
a long distance call Griffith let a
Washington boxing show to take a
night train for New York, where on
October Is base balls biggest deal
was completed.

least they will help Erik turn bit
of the spotlight from the mile and
/ 1,500-meter races, which have been
the center of things for so many Win
tiers.
Jack Torrance Of Louisiana, the
greatest shot putter Of all time, is
likely to appear indoors in New York,
and for the first time build that event
into something more than filler on the
A. A. U. program. Torrance has done
81 feet inches indoors. He is likely
to beat his competitors literally by
yards if he enters.
Outlook In the Sprints.
TN THE sprinting that has featured
the knights Of Columbus and
New York Athletic Club games in
recent years, one Of the greatest in
door fields in history is being set up.
Ralph Metcalfe, Jesse Owens and Dy-
Mantle johnson, three colored sprint
aces, will be among a dozen great
sprinters eligible and likely to start
in one or more of the dash events.
Owens Is an Ohio State product who
ran 100 yards in 93 seconds in high
school. johnson Is Columbia's To-
lanian hope. Metcalfe needs no intro
duction on this or any other stage.
Then there are Emmett Top
pino, Frank Wykoff, Don Ben
nett, Ed Siegel and Al Kelly,
who can beat any sprinter alive
on a particularly good day.
TOPPING, his gathering weight
hanging around him like the branches
of a magnolia tree in New Orleans, is
a sight few forget when he comes
streaming into the tape. usually first
in the shorter sprints. No runner of
his time has as much beginning drive
as this southern express.
But old John Collier, the bald
headed teacher from Hill School, who
walloped every one in the hurdle
events last Winter. definitely has re-
tired. John is world record holder
in the high sticks.
1T isn't very NICE" said John the
other day, ito 60 back to your classes
and have your students say, Prof.
Collier, I should think you'd catch
cold going so fast at your age and
with your scalp No, thank you; the
boys are getting too fast for this old
timer. He knows when to hang up
his spikes"
OF Side Plays.
Those who look before they leap
also lose the impetus Of running

Golf is largely a matter Of remem-
bering the wrong things and forget
ting the right.
As HEX once said: "It's better to

You might also remember in golf
that you never look up and see good
shot.
There would be few rules in any
game If human nature had never dis

You can put it down as a Grass fact
that your alibi never is interesting to

Give Up on Buddy Myer.

n ILL McKECHNIE, cagy pilot Of the

Lee, but he turned thumbs down
on all the talent offered in return, for
the weary traders called it a night,
with the whole affair very much up
in the air.
One swap which may go through to-
day would send Bill Myers, short
stop, from one of the Giant farms to
the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for
Don Brennan or Allyn Stout, pitchers.
No deals were closed yesterday and
word went around that the Boston
Red Sox have about given up hope Of
landing Oscar Melillo, St. Louis Sec
ond sacker, or Buddy Myer. keystone
guardian for the Washington Sen
ators.
Having disposed of their own league
affairs, American and National League
magnates go into joint session with
Commissioner Lands today with the
chief topics of conversation likely to
be broadcaSting games and a move to
reduce prices for youngsters by half.
The latter idea is fostered by P. K.
Wrigley, principal owner of the Cubs.
He failed to convince his fellow Ma

senting the question at the joint meet

MAY END MEETING
WITHOUT BIG DEAL
Pittsburgh, MuscIing In on
Three-Cornered Affair,
Creates Hitch.
BY EDDIE BRIETZ,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

N YEW YORK, December 13.-
M There is a strong probability
Y that the current major league
base ball meeting may wind
up tonight without a single major
deal to put an edge on the otherwise
dull and lifeless proceedings.
This unheard-of situation developed
when the three-cornered swap by the
New York, Pittsburgh and the always
willing Philadelphia Nationals began
wobbling and threatened to go by the
boards entirely.
Until midnight the thing seemed in
the bag, with the Giants sending
young pitcher and wad of cash to
Philadelphia in return for George
Davis, an outfielder for whom Bill
Terry has cried since the day he sent
him away; the Phillies, for their part,
we're to turn over the cash and Catcher
Al Todd to the Pirates in exchange
for Lloyd Waner and Earl Grace, Q
catcher.
The hitch came about when Pitts
burgh, desperately seeking an out
fielder to replace Waner, tried to make
the deal a four-cornered affair and
lure Hal Lee from the Boston Braves.

'They can jump in the lake with

Hornsby, for Hadley, the pitcher

not want Sewell for themselves, but,
as Hornsby looked at it, the veteran
catcher would open the way to deals
by his club.
With the White Sox clamoring for
Sewell since the opening of the ses-
sions here, Hornsby had his cards
stacked. He would turn over Sewell
to the Chicago club for Zeke Bonura,
the busting first baseman. That
would clear the road for the shipment
of Irving Burns, sterling initial sacker,
to the Red SoX along with Oscar
Melillo, second bsSeman, and the
Red Sox willing to make the Browns

CUMMINGS URGES
JUDICIAL REFORM
Suggests Guidance Under
Supreme Court to Remedy
Enforcement Breakdown.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March l5.-Drastic
revision of judicial procedure under
the guidance of the Supreme Court
to remedy q distressing breakdown
of the law enforcement agencies in
many parts of our land" was urged
last night by Attorney General Homer
s. Cummings.
Addressing the silver jubilee banquet
of the New York County Lawyers
Association, the Attorney General de-
clared he was authorized to say such
a method of reform carried the in
dorsement OF President Roosevelt.
Suggests Legislation.
Cummings said he had suggested
10 House and Senate committees
legislation to effect this reform.
II am persuaded that if the Federal
courts could reform their procedure
and render it not only simpler but
more responsive to actual needs" the
Attorney General said. the example
of such a system would have a power
full and corrective effect upon the
practice in the States.
perhaps the most vital objection
Is that the Federal courts are tied to
the antiquated system of statutory
regulation now generally prevailing in
the various States. Reform and i'm
provement are therefore, hopelessly
stalled at the outset"
The cabinet member cited the prac-
tice in America for more than a CEN
tury of permitting the Supreme Court
to regulate practice and procedure in
equity cases.
The results have been highly sat
isfactory." he added. IF this power
could be extended to actions at law,
the court would be in a position to
unite the equity and law practice SO
Is to secure one form of civil action
and procedure for both. This would
constitute a legal reform of the first
magnitude"
Recalls Past Efforts.
Cummings recalled the various ef-
forts of the past two decades to effect
such a reform; that measures have
been brought forth in numerous Con-
crosses. but have never reach vote
To lend aid in effecting reforms,
Cummings said he asked three "emi-
nent members of the bar" to act as
board of advisers and that he ex-
pected to name special assistant to
the Attorney General to devote his
entire time to such reformation.
Cummings said the non-partisan
board of advisers would be composed
Of Frank A. Thompson of st. Louis,
George w Whiteside of New York,
and Donald Defrees of Chicago.
