Most of the trade talk revolves

Both have some tempting material.
Their motives for parting with any of

Inquiring Scribe Gets
Variety of Views on

BY FRANCIS E. STAN

~ ETROIT October 2.-It was
"a hours before the zero

D forth streams of travellers
newspaper men by the score, club
owners, managers, plain fans. The
first stage of hySteria were settling in
the streets.
A handsome gent who might have
modelled the covers of the Frank
Merriwell series was pulling on his
base ball armor in the Cubs club
house.
mo, don't think the Cubs are too
young for series competition" Fred
Lindstrom was saying Il think we
proved that while winning our 81
games in row.
"Cavarretta? The best young pros
pect I've ever seen in base ball And
cool, whew! Hack is one of the most
improved ball players of the year.
Galan is a great-looking kid.
Look for Long Struggle.
I'm LOOKING for long series.
You've got to give us a chance.
Warneke is fast as blazes and his
curve breaks as if the ball was rolling
off the table. He'll trouble the Tigers.
Bill Lee will go great if he can get by
the first inning without trouble.
Charlie Root may have trou-
Bile. The way to stop the Tigers
is with pitches that break down.
Roots curves don't break down
and his fast ball doesn't either.
Gosh. I'm tickled to be in a series
again. l was too yourg to know what
it was all about in my first series
that Giants-Washington series in
1924. I was only 18 then"
Mack's Prices Daunt Yawkey.
TOM YAWKEY was digging a little
hole in the field with the toe Of
his shoe while the Tigers were taking
batting practice.
Yes, I bid for those seven Phila-
delphia players. but don't think we'll
get them. Connie Mack wants too
much money. 1t would be cheaper for
me to buy the Athletic franchise. I'm
going to keep trying to strengthen our
ball club. though. The fans of Boston
have been mighty good. They deserve
a winner.
How much do I think Foxx is
worth? Well, that's hard to say.
He's been around 10 years, you know,
and that's 10 years he can't play with
apothor c11h Tn not sowing hnw-
ever, that he still hasn't plenty Of
good years ahead Of him"
Philadelphia newspaper men report
that Mack wants 100000 in cash for
Foxx alone. Mack is quoted: If
Cronin is worth S250,0o0, then Foxx
ought to be good for at least s3ooooo"
Fit Cramer is priced at 100000.

Seems to Favor Cubs,

EVEN as todays edition appears,
Greenberg may have poured one
or more homers into the new section,
as Gerald Walker did six times in
succession in batting practice, but the
percentage would seem in favor of
the Cubs, many of whom glimpsed The
park for the first time upon their
arrival yesterday.
Untrnstful of the erratic Walker,
Manager Cochrane definitely has de-
cided to play 10 10 White in center
field and this will mean that Detroits
lineup will include only four right
handed batters, including Rowe. They
are Petey Fox, probably the longest
hitter of the orthodox brigade; Bill
Rogell switch hitter; Marvin Owen
and the aforementioned Schoolboy.
On the other hand the Cubs today
will present seven right-handed bat
tiers in Fred LindStrom, Bill JuTges,
Gabby Hartnett, Billy Herman, Frank
Demaree, Augie Galan and Warneke.
The only portside batters among the
Bruin regulars are Phil Cavarretta
and Stanley Hack. Galan is switch
hitter.

Palmer, Alaska, July 1S-(UP)-
Discovery of gold in substantial
values, on one OF the farms of the

the Matanuska valley quieted some
of the homesteaders' discomfort to-
day. Anton Anderson, veteran of,
the early gold-seeking days Of Alas
ka, struck ''pay dirt" in digging a

Suffer in California, he tried to
keep his find secret. But the
news leaked out and the colonists,
gathering in excited groups in their
tent colonies, found something else
to talk about besides their dissatis-
faction with their farms and the
slow progress Of the project.
Substantial Values
Anderson said paintings showed
Substantial values" but other
sourdoughs claimed the area had
been prospected thoroughly and
little gold would be found there.
Matanuska, however, lies close to
valuable deposits north of the val
ley and many of the midwestern
families who travelled to Alaska on
the first trip of the U. s. Army
transport st. Mihiel hoped to find
gold. Anderson's find may influ-
ence some Of the disconnected fam
lilies to stick it out"

"The only logical conclusions to
be drawn from Governor Curley's
conduct in being present and so
suddenly slipping away from the

be, over the fact that on Sunday.
