Literary Notes

Thomas Wolfe, whose From Death to Morning"
volume of short novels and stories, will be pub
lished Nov. IA by Scribners, is working book
which grew out of his recent transcontinental trip
and which he calls, tentatively, The Hound of
Darkness"
1t is a book about night time in America the
chemistry OF night and what it does to people.
Americans are night time people, Mr.. Wolfe be-
ieves, and It is his plan to do sort of symphony
of night life in America; of Saturday nights in
small towns all night lunch-rooms. the rush Of
great trains and trucks throughout the night

 Hector read the insulting mes- sage in silence. "Humph," he ragged through gritted teeth. "A typical city slicker." It was the fourth such reception he had received in one morning.
 Hector picked up a copy of the paper that lay on the desk. The lead story ran like this: "Gangiand guns famed death again on the south side when two henchmen of Black Joe Penturls were shot to death while delivering :"
 
 The impulse to tell the city editor what he thought of such news writing was irresistibie, 50 on a piece of paper supplied by the sympathetic. attendant Hector wrote:
 "such brilliant news writing as 'Gangland guns etc. is certainly R { ,.iL, A4 t,.t might look through your back files and see how many times the same words have appeared in your own paper"

Mack Due TO Confess.

TN THE American League, especially,
the need for wholesale shake-up
Of stars to end the two-year. reign Of
Detroit's Tigers and beat away the
wolf from the gates Of several clubs
apparently has dawned with finality.
With the aged Connie Mack holding
the center of the stage, the junior
circuit may steal the buying, trading
and selling stage from the National
League, which, In this respect, has
been far ahead of its brother wheel.
Mack is expected to announce the
tearing apart of another of his Phila-
delphia ball clubs. The Athletic
shake-up, long suspected, never proved
and persistently denied, will involve
Jimmy Foxx, Roger Cramer, Pinky
Higgins, Eric McNair, and, possibly,
Johnny Marcum As to what different
paths this sextet will tread you may
supply your own map. Higgins, one
Of the best third basemen, is expected
to 60 to the Yankees, while Cramer,
McNair, and possibly Marcum, are
ticketed for the Red Sox in a deal
which, if completed, undoubtedly will
find Bill Werber shifted to Philadel-
phia. Foxx is booked for a second
division club with the price. FCxx
and Chicago have been names linked
lately.
But while Mack will hold the spot
light. at least until he touches of the
trading fireworks which, in turn, will
light the fuses for the other deals, 1t
Is unlikely that a single club owner
will return without some change In
the personnel of his team. Even the
champion Tigers, in the moment Of
their greatest glory and with cheers
of joyous Detroiters still ringing in
their ears. harbor dangerous weak
spots. -
Boston, by gaining Mack's stars,
could become installed as Winter book
favorites. Otherwise the Red Sox,
too, are doubtful pennant winners.
New York must rebuild, Washington
needs pitchers, Chicago needs little
of everything and Cleveland has its
weak links. The Athletics, without
Foxx, Cramer ct al, might become the
leagues doormat, but there would be
cash in the now bare cupboard. The
Browns have little to sell.

handicap that gives him an honest
to-goodness chance to share in $500

top-ranking stars. Some Of the big
handicaps, which range up to rs pins
for men and so for women, are little
exasperating to the scratch perform
ers, but that doesn't keep 'em out OF
the tournament. After all, they have

Jo White holds forth. The Tigers
likely remedy will be TO grab AL Sim
mons from the White Sox for Gerald
Walker and a pitcher. If this happens
it is probable that Walker will be
shipped to st. Louis for Sammy West
and cash. Rogers HornSby wants
Walker badly and Dykes wants West
and pitcher.
New York already has placed Ben
Chapman, Tony Lazzeri and Red
Rolfe on the block, despite Ed Bar
rows denials. The Yanks would like
to have Buddy Myer and they have
been lamping Sammy Hale of the In
dianS. They already have offered
Lazzeri for Hale and Pitcher Johnny
Allen for the Tribe third sacker, but
both offers have been spurned, it Is
reported from reliable sources. Joe
Mccarthy lacks infielders, however,
and with Cleveland willing, according
to rumor, to trade anybody except Hal
Trotsky. Joe Vosmik, Bill Knicker-
booker. Earl Averill and Mel Harder,
any business between these CLUBS
would not be surprising.
Chicago, in addition to having
Simmons on the market, will be on

A st. Louis syndicate, headed by
George Sisler, may close a deal for
the Browns franchise, but the Braves
situation still is a matter of conjec-
ture, although the name of Bob
Quinn has been mentioned frequently
of late.
The hysteria in the American
League over night ball has died away,
but the subject will be brought up,
although 1t is doubtful If any club,
even the Browns and Athletics,
actually will try the experiment this
year. 1t is possible. however. that
several National League clubs will join
Cincinnati in the staging of several
nocturnal games.
The National Leagues chief trader
likely will be Branch Hickey, who has
declared all of the Cardinals with the
exception of the two Deans on the
block. He will have many willing
bidders when the National Leaguers,
having spurned meeting under the
same roof at the Palmer House with
the American Leaguers, open their
