 YEARLY PRIDE"
New York Writers Bur- Iesque Owners, Players
 and Managers
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

4aa&agAAn4 AoA8BA8t3A4 United PresS Stan COrrespondentl
 New York, Feb. 3-(UP)-Bill Terry and Casey stengel have made theiR deal at last. The Giants man. ager traded the Dodgers boss Q but ter knife for two oyster forks.
 Terry claims he got stung, but Stengel says the oyster forks will be better than some of the Giants ball players next September.
 So all the baseball news today is burlesque following the 18th annual dinner of the Baseball Writers as- sociation of America, New York chapter.
 More than 700 persons, including most of the games notables, rocked with laughter as the writers kidded Connie Mack, Tom Yawkey, Bob Quinn, Babe Ruth, Bill Terry, Char lie Grimm, Joe Mccarthy, Mickey Cochrane, Dizzy Dean and other famous baseball figures.
 Money Men
 Connie Mack and Tom Yawkey, who have made some of the boggest cash transactions in baseball his- tory between them the past few years, came in for Q large share of ribbing. Tn Q gkit called And All Through the Night" one of the writers in the role of Connie Mack chased another scribe playing the part of Tom Yawkey ell over the large Commodore ballroom in an ef- fort to sell him some more ball players.
 Tn another Mack is asked about his helath, and he replies:
 T feel fine, l sold my house this morning."
 A parody on the song, 'The Music Goes Around and Around" was H. lustrated by placards showing how c key is pressed on Tom Yawkey's cash register and how money comes out at shibe park, Philadelphia, and how ball players come out at Ten- way park, Boston.
 A writer representing Bob quinn, new president of the Boston Braves, sang Q song entitled, T got plenty of nuthin'."
 Babe Ruth's failure to land Q managerial job was given several jibes by the scribes.
 Clever
 Umpire George Moriarty was rid. iculed for his protested decisions in the World series which drew him 0 $200 fine, and . writer, initiating him, tried to win back the fine by appearing in an amateur skit on the radio. When he won the prize 1t was revealed as Q $2oo gift order for Wrigley's chewing gum.
 On the serious side, Hank Green berg was presented with c plaque as "The Player of the Year." and Frankie Frisch received . plaque for meritorious service to baseball over Q long period. President Roosevelt sent the writers . letter in which he expressed the hope that they would get "their full share of the good things of life the coming season."

 Boston, Feb. 3--(Up)--Along New England sport trails:
 Healthy purses took some of the sting from Lou Brouillard's defeats by Marcel Thil in France. Lou may be one of Jack sharkey's seconds when the ex-sailor meets Tony Shucco at the Garden Friday night. After which Lou W ilstart gunning for that part of niddleweight cham pionship held by Babe Risko. In June Brouillard is slated to return to France for an outdoor bout with Thil.
 English Interested.
 Johnny Buckley, who manages Brouillard and ShaTkey, reports English fans steamed up over Jock McAvoys victories over Al Mccoy and Risko. So much 50 that Jock will be accompanied by Norman Hurst, Trevor Wagnall, Tom Web- ster and othss English writers when he sails for his New York bout with light heavyweight champion John Henry Lewis.
 The five-team? Canadian-Aine can Hockey league is well ahead of recent seasons. Both in gate res ceipts and calibre of play. The Bruin Cubs are featuring ladies nights with girl fans admitted free. Amateur hockey seems to be taking hold in Boston. Fifteen hundred watched the Boston Olymuics de- feat New York's St. Nick's 5 to at the Garden Sunday. Dick Muth- CT right wing on George Owens Massachusetts Tech Sextet, suffered broken leg as Tech lost to New Hampshire ct Durham over the weekend.
 Holdout Twins.
 Boston Bees who haven't yet sign- ed their 1o36 contracts include Out fielder Wally Berger and Pitcher Fred Frankhouse, the pair most sought by other clubs. Berger has talking points for Q fair increase. After having led the league in home runs and runs batted in despite the drag of cellar life. Infielder Pinky Whitney, returning his signed con- tract, promised he and all the Bees would play Q better grade of ball next season. Whitney meant to con- vey that the late Braves were Snere- ly going through the motions during that front-office wrangle which ended with Bob Quinn replacing Emil Fuchs as president. Fuchs Ia now chairman of the state commits sion on unemployment compensa- ton. The secretary being none oth- CT than Ed Cunningham, who held the same position with the old Braves.
 Tom Kirby, the former light- heavyweight, has started work as Q WPA boxing instructor in Boston. Tiny Thompson, the Bruins' goalie, IS Q movie fan. He's convinced fiickers are good exercise for his eyes. Phil Flanagan the Holy Cross guard who received all-America consideration last fall, is hitting the College magazine regularly with his poetry. Phil calls his latest bit "The place where dreamers go."
