twice District All-Event champion, illus

on its mission of devastation among the

ing $4,000 for Sammy Byrd?
Why waivers were obtained on
Byrd some time ago. We could
have bought him for $4,000 and
the National League clubs could
have bought him for $500.
1--WE all know that Joe Nc
Carthy is not counting on Byrd
as a regular" continued Brad
ley. Therefore, since he is not
considered as a starting player
he cannot be worth anything
that looks like the price set
upon him by New York.
Here's an angle for Washington
fans to consider with regard tc
the infield. Ossie Bluege is apt tc
start at either third or short and
play for five or six weeks. Bluege
is a good spring hitter as rule
and until the heat bears down on
him and definitely slows him up
he is great defensive player.
Hell win Is games with his
bat and save so with his glove"
said Harris.

Herein is found the answer to
the proposal of the Boston Braves
to run dog races in their ball
park and herein too lies the rea-
son for the National Leagues
adoption of night baseball
Several of the clubs are broke.
Many are not only broke, but in
debt. They must find money
somewhere and the night game
racket is a last desperate expedi-
ent to attract few extra sheckles
into their depleted Golfers.
Both leagues deftly, but not
definitely, sidetracked the dog
track issue. But Judge Emil
Fuchs who has sunk a fortune
in the Braves, is not apt to sit
idly by and let a chance to re-
coup his losses get away from
him. We shall hear more of the
dogs anon.
Cubs Not for Sale
Meanwhile, anybody with the
right price-and in some instances
the price is surprisingly low-can
buy the Braves, Phillies, Giants,
Pirates, Dodgers, Reds or Cardi-
mails. The Cubs are not for sale. In
the other league the only clubs
definitely not for sale are the
Yankees, Red Sox, Athletics and
Tigers.
1t was rumored at the joint ses-
sion of the two leagues yesterday
that the Braves may be the first
to change hands. Pie Traynor.
manager of the Pirates, told Bill
McKechnie, m n ager of the
Braves and Judge Fuchs, that he
didn't believe they were in position
to make a deal. Pie intimated that
they had no say in the matter in
any event, they surely turned
down surprisingly good offer.
OF course, club owners always
deny they are trying to sell even
when you know, and they know
that you know, they are negotiat-
ing.

The rest of the owners are in
the same boat. There must be a
reason for the lack of trading
and now if you'll draw up a chair
we'll give you the low down.
"The Yawkey fountain pen
stopped trading cold" said one
old timer. every one knew
that the Red SOx were looking
for a first baSeman and second
baseman. Every one know that
they'd take an Outfielder and
a pitcher or two.
"After Tom Yawkey handed
over 100 grand cold to Griffith
in part payment for CrOnin,
with the additional $50 grand
coming up before November
1885, the rest of the boys began
to jack up the prices. Not only
did it stop Yawkey, but it
stopped Cleveland and the rest
of them.
"Take Griffith" said the old
timer, and right there your
agent cut in with the admOni-
tiOn to take him if you could"
The world knew he had dough
so when he moved up to make a
deal, everyone stuck a few extra
grand on the price tag. Griffith
was ready to trade, but he knows
the value of ball players, and is
not tossing his kale around in the
wintry gales.
INK POWDERS
'The Red SOx wanted to deal
with st. Louis for MelillO.
HOrnsby sat back and waited
for the boys to bid. Then he
stated his prices and the very
ink in Yawkey's pen powdered

Alva Bradley, president of the
Cleveland Indians, chatted with
the writer this morning before re,
turning to the Forest City empty
handed.
"Mr. Yawkey stopped the
trading dead. He paid the price
for CrOnin and everyone seemed
to get the idea that every ball
player was worth a fortune"
Bradley said. "Why even the
Yankees became infected. Can

HANDLESS CUE
WIZARD PLAYS
HERE DEC. 18
By GINO SINH

George Handles" Sutton, per-
haps the most amazing figures
ever to achieve fame at billiards,
will give three exhibitions in the
District on December 18.
Sutton, who is SO years old, lost
both of his hands above the wrist
in a planning mill accident when
in his teens. Undaunted by this
apparent unsurmountable calam-
ity, he decided to educate himself
to earn a livelihood in some other
field.
He tried astrology and medicine,
but soon discovered that these
were not in his line, so he turned
to billiards, game he had always
a yen for.
After many days of laborious
practice. placing the cue stick on
his shoulder and holding it in
place by bending his head over it
and guiding it with the stumps
of his arms, he mastered the art
to a surprising degree.
Brilliant Shot Maker
Today he is considered one of
the most brilliant shot makers of
the game, capable of holding his
own with the worlds greatest.
Though he has not gone in for
tournaments. in exhibitions he has
met and defeated many champions
including Willie Hoppe, Poggen-
berg, Garner and Maurice Brown,
former U. S. title-holders.
He has been touring the world
for IS years and has played be-
fore European royalty. In an ex-
hibition in New York City several
years ago he ran 799 at 1872 balk-
line. He has also chalked up a
3,009-straight-rail billiards score.
It is automatic among billiard
experts that a supple wrist move
ment is absolutely essential to a
delicate stroke. Having not even
a vestige of wrists, Sutton smashes
this theory to Smithereens. His
stroking is as delicate and precise
as it can be; he makes the most
difficult shots with ease and is a
marvel at draw shots.
Billiards is not the only able
bodied sport at which he shines.
He is also an excellent trap-shooter
and has acquitted himself cred
itably in pistol and rifle compe-
tition. He plays golf and drives
his own auto.
Wins Two WagerS
At a recent banquet he won
two wagers by buttoning his own
collar and by buttoning his shirt
after putting it on backward.
Though born in Toledo, Ohio,
he calls Los Angeles his home,
Sutton will make his first local
appearance at George Billiard
Parlor at o'clock, and then play
at the Arcadia at p. M, and
conclude his stay at Lewis and
Krauss' at $50 p. m. He will not
only give balkline exhibitions but
will also instruct a limited class
of students.
The Washington times., 1934-12-14

For instance Boston, which
can stand two fights per week,
has Cambridge, SOmerville, Med.
ford, Chelsea, the NewtOns,
BrOOkline, Revere, Arlington,
Lynn, etc., from which to draw
traffic for more than one fight
q week.
'New York has Newark, Jer-
sey City, HObOken, Staten Island,
Weehawken, Elizabeth, Larch-
mont, New Rochelle, Chester,
Derby, Westport, White Plains,
etc.
philadelphia has Camden,
Trenton, Germantown, West
Chester and a big outlying and
thickly populated area known
as the Main Line section from
which to attract fight sections.
Suburbs Not So Large
washington is not blessed
with these immense nearby CEN
tiers of population and has
proven since last May that suf-
ficient money cannot be made
in two fights per week to allow
promoters to bring in the big
names of the ring.
"Scrutinize the fight programs
offered here and you find that
the same individuals are being
used to the extent of fully 80
per cent of the programs from
the main-bOuterS to the prelim.
mary boys. That's the best the
promoters can do because of the
big financial risk entailed in
paying railroad fares and guar
antees to worthwhile Out-Of-
town Scrappers.
washington has about 1000
people who would be regular at
tendants at boxing matches if
they were of the caliber to at
tract them, but there are few of
these 1000 who can go twice a
week if other entertainment can
be found, even if they felt they
could afford it.
Cheaper the Cards
"An eventual reduction of at
tendance is inevitable and that
means the promoters are going
to have less funds with which to
pay high-clasS talent and they
eventually cheaper the cards in
keeping with their ability to pay
for them.
Boxing in Washington is be-
coming a nightmare to the low
erS of clean, skillful sport. Good
by to boxing in the District of
Columbia, a thing which took
years to make possible that is
being quickly torn down because
of the lack of some sensible fore
sight on the part of those re.
SpOnSible for its conduct. Un-
less action is quickly taken by
those who have the authority to
control this situation, we may
kiss boxing a fond farewell"
Mr.. Guild, as we say, speaks
Aas a customer. Others have
made similar expressions as
trained observers-yet we are
told from 462 Indiana Ave. by
the commissions spokesman
that there is nothing wrong
with boxing except it's critics.
