GREENS SUPERVISOR o. B. Fits

the middle of those fairways before
frost and freezing weather turn the

He doesn't expect his greens force

around December 10, which is verging
close to the freezing line, and the job
will be done by hand labor instead Of
the ditch-digging machine used at

'We'n get in as much work
as we can before heavy weather

"And we will be able to keep our

Navy also has two distinct attacking
formations. The regular. which is
Hamilton's own. but has some of the
features of the Warner style, and the

that he is likely to use both Saturday,

special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, November 26-
Though two Naval Academy teams,
varsity soccer and plebe foot ball,
marred hitherto perfect performances
by losing Saturday. the home seasons
of sports at the academy came to
an end with a remarkable record.
The varsity cross-country runners,
by defeating Pittsburgh. ended the
season with 100 per cent. The other
teams defeated were North Carolina,
Princeton and Duke. B squad foot
ball also had a perfect record, de-
feating the B squads of Yale, Prince
ton. Pennsylvania and Harvard.
The plebe foot ball team won four
and lost one, the soccer team won
four, lost one and tied one, and the
plebe soccer and cross-country teams
each won two and lost one.
The Navy's complete record in Fall
sports, excluding the varsity foot ball
team, was-won 20, lost 4, tied /.

BASE BALL GOSSIP
CENTERS ON DEAN
Cards Rivals Deny They're
Angling for Diz-Nats
Not in Rum0rS.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, November 26.-To-
M day is the day for the turkey
" diet in most places, but the
4 hot stovers still 60 for the
cracker barrel.
Around and about, where the base
ballers are bedded down for the Win
ter. you hear, among other things,
the following:
That the Giants, in the market for
q third baseman and a catcher. just
as they were after the world series.
still aren't interested in Dizzy Dean
not at the current price.
Neither are the Pirates. although
Manager Pie Traynor is out in st.
Louis right now conferring with big
shots of the Cardinals.
That the rumors of three-way
deal among the Dodgers, Reds and
Cards still are going the rounds, with
Spud Davis, Paul Derringer, Van
Mungo and Linus Frey among the
players mentioned.
That the Yankees aren't even CIV
ing lineup changes thought, but
would be interested in a pitcher.
Shifts in Red Sox Due.
THAT If the young blood" at other
positions clicks, the Red Sox will
have Bill Werber in the outfield. Joe
Cronin on third and Jimmy Foxx still
holding down first base.
That if Hank Leiber goes from the
Giants he may wind up in the Cub
outfield. In return Chicago will give
q first-string player, but will get cash
along with the man who was ousted
from his job by Jimmy Ripple.
That Babe Herman's one-man re-
hellion at Cincinnati will result in his
sale or trade to some other club. and
that the Reds also will give up Lee
Handley.
And that the Indians are angling
with the Browns. with the exchange
Of Catcher Rollie Hemsley and a
Brownies pitcher as possibility.
Just about every club in either
league would give up plenty for
Dean, who already is undergoing his
annual attack of "holdoutitis," but
the tag the Cards have put on him is
altogether too high.
When Traynor stopped in to see
Branch Hickey of the Gas House
Gang yesterday, the hot stovers i'm
mediately came up with the tip that
the Bucs would ship Shortstop Arky
Vaughan and Pitcher Cy Blanton tc
st. Louis in return for The Great
One"
Buc Boss Spikes Rumors.
PIRATE PRESIDENT BILL BEN
SWANGER Immediately put the
spikes to this angle, remarking that
Traynor wouldn't even offer Vaughan,
let alone both the infielder and
Blanton.
President Horace stoneham Of the
Giants said just about the same thing
IN regard to the report the National
League champs would come up with
the right-hand ace, which would give
them the top twirlers-both left and
right-in the league, If not in the
business.
We've received what we consider a
feeler' about Dean" Stoneham said.
Probably the other clubs also have
got the same thing. But you can be
sure We won't be interested in giving
up several star players for him"
The Giant deals for a third -sacker
to take Travis Jackson's place, and a
catcher to help Gus Mancuso next
season are on the fire, and something
may be done at the Montreal National
Association meeting early next month

These two games are picked out
because they have an important bear

Three ether strong teams move into
