The thrill of adding new table,
chair or rug, of providing the
right kind of furnishings to make
the family happier, is one which
is enjoyed far too seldom in the

small, new piece for each room
and see how the whole house and

Simmons Deal
Settled Item

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Prepara,
tions were going forward from one
foot to the other today, for the
annual major league baseball
meetings which get underway
here tomorrow with the leagues
gathering under separate roofs to.
day and tomorrow and meeting
jointly on Thursday.
To keep everything open and
above aboard and not because they
don't trust each other, the Ma
tional LeaguerS will stand around
the lobby of one hotel, the Amer
lean League another. Then they
will Windup the whole affair with
collective cluttering.
The outcome of all this lobby
footwork is more or less a matter
of conjecture, aside from the fact
it has been rather definitely set
tied that Al Simmons, who doesn't
like to play ball with second
division club like the White Sox
and shows it by his batting aver
age, will, be cavorting in the De-
troit outfield next year.
Early arrivals were Eddie Col
Inns, of the Boston Red Sox, and
Casey Stengel, manager of the
Brooklyn Daffy Boys. Ford Frick
president of the National League,
has been here since Saturday, and
says he will stick it out until the
meeting if it takes all winter.
Frick conferred with Commits.

his assurance that the Boston

June Bout Seen
For SChme|ing

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Max
Schmeling and Joe Louis will be
signed by Mike Jacobs within 48
hours to box at one of the local
parks for the Twentieth Century
Sporting Club next June. Mrs.
William Randolph HearSt's milk
fund will receive 10 per cent off
the top" of a gate which will go
close to a million and a quarter.
This much was definitely de-
cided at Pompton Lakes when
Schmeling went to see Louis box
yesterday.
He was rather cocky about his
chances against the Brown Bomb
er after watching Jolting Joe
fiddle around with five Sparring
partners.
Max was quite emphatic about
the little amateuriSh loopholes in
Joe's defense.

vince me tn a sharp hitter could
reach him. He stands close to
his man with his hands held down
too low. He can't do that with me.
He can't do it with any man who

most pointed criticism of the
Bomber'S defense.

Hornsby Wants
Bob ConneY

There's a story behind a story
in the announcement that Bob
Connery may succeed Lou Nc
Avoy as general manager of the
st. Louis Browns. His appoint
ment may be contingent upon the
Ball estate retaining control Of
the American League team in the
Mound City.
There is a group ready to pur-
chase a controlling interest in the
Brownies, and George Sisler is the
nominal head of the syndicate.
Rogers HornSby would welcome
Connery as business manager of
the Browns. 1t was Connery who
discovered Hornsby playing second
base for the Denison, Tex, team
in the Western Association.
Only after inSiStent demands by
Connery did the Cardinals pur-
chase Hornsby for $500. and Con-
merry had to convince Skip Britton
that the Texan was worth the
IOIlcy.
Auld acquaintance was not for
got in the case of Earle B. Combs,
erStwhile center fielder of the New
York Yankees.
Just a few years ago announce
ment was made that Combs had
been retired as an active player
and placed on the roster as a
coach. When Louisville sold
Combs to the Yankees for $50, 900
Joe Mccarthy was manager of the
Colonels. There was a happy re-
union when Mccarthy became
manager of the Yankees, and it
has been a foregone conclusion
that when Combs came to the end
of his days as player that he
would be retained by the Yankees
in some other capacity.

S0.-Accused of operating a gi-

under Indictment today.
Two of the men, Jacob L.
Bockol and William M. Lister,

Bench warrants were issued for
the other 16.
Postal inspectors said the al,

ers of worthless securities to put
up their securities as collateral
for purchase of land which never
existed. Later, the agents"
would persuade the victims to
put up additional collateral in
