Picks Up Weight, Speed.

THE White sox got salveson in a
- trade with Pittsburgh during the
latter part of the 1885 season. He
came up with great curve ball but
not much Of fast one. At the time
he was too slender, they said, to gen.
crate much speed.
With Los Angeles, however, Salveson
picked up weight, and Ruether
claimed that during the last two
months Of the season he had blazing
fast ball. He now weighs approx
nnately 100. He stands feet inch,
and Is a native OF Fullerton, Calf.
The deal was on the fire as early as
yesterday morning. Harris, Manager
Steve O'Neill of the Indians and
Dykes tentatively agreed to the trade
before noon, but when Dykes con-
ferred with Owner Louis Comiskey
and Vice President Harry Grabiner Of
the White Sox he was overruled and
the deal was supposed to be off.
Later in the afternoon Comiskey
and Grabiner changed their minds
and the deal was completed. Orig
inally it was supposed to have been
released today, but late last night a
'leak" developed, and at midnight it
was announced officially.
Tiger Deal Still Hanging Fire.
HARRIS not only has the distinc-
l. ton of being the first American
League trader. but he has ambitions
Of becoming the busiest dealer. More
deals involving the Nationals are on
the fire, and the chances are better
than $3.50 that Buck Newsom, Cliff
Bolton and one or two minor men,
bers Of the Griffmen would join
whitehill and do their playing with
some other club.
When he was not closeted in meet
ing with other club owners, Griffith
spent most of yesterday with Mickey
Cochrane, who still wants Newsom.
At q late hour last night Cochrane
did not want Newsom badly enough
to part with Eden Anger, Pete Fox
and Jake Wade, but the Washing
ton representatives were hopeful that
Manager Mike would come around.
Sometime today the Grif1s and Tigers
may make a deal.
The Rollie Observation-Disclosures
rumor reached a new high this morn
ing, and Grifith frankly admitted he
would rather swing q. deal for the st
Louis catcher than the trade witt,
Detroit. Rogers Hornsby, manager
Of the Browns, wants several players
for Hemsley, and Harris and Grifl
were inclined to play ball with him
Hornsby today was to be offered Boil

Next, unless all signs fail and the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
Still Under a Potted Palm, New
York, December 9-Heinie Manush
was standing in the center Of the
seething lobby of the American League
headquarters and grumbling. Heinie
was released by the Red Sox last Sum-
mer because he couldn't play ball like
he used to play, but he still is able to
grumble as well as ever and that is
grumbling at its best. Wish I wuz
back in Florida" said Heinie. This
is my first and last meeting"
Heinie is trying to land a job with
the Dodgers. He is one Of several
out-of-work veterans trying to grab
at the straw of big-league existence.
Dutch Reuther Is around, too. You
wonder why somebody doesn't grab
Casey Stengel. You also wonder what
is holding up the deals that are
rumored all over the place.
Bucky Harris sneaked of for
. moment to grab q beer and
take the load of his feet. Did
he talk to the Red Sox about
getting Rick Ferrell? There was
q rum0r.
"Yeah," and Bucky grimaced, "and
you can forget it. I won't say who
I talked with, but he didn't say half
a dozen words before I told him to
forget I even asked question about
Ferrell. Silliest thing ever heard
of. Boston wants every good player
on the Washington Club for him"
Rog Gives Blank Stare.
Joe CRoNIN passed by with
" Boston newspaper man at his
heels. Pretty soon the newspaper man
returned and said, "Boston's just
offered Mel Almada, Fritz Oster-
mueller and Babe Dahlgren to st.
Louis for Julius Solters. It's up to
Hornsby to clinch the deal"
Bystanders rushed toward Hornsby,
who gave blank stare and said that
he didn't know anything about any
such deal.
Later he was quoted as saying
that If he trades, 1t will be q
three-way deal involving Cleve-
land as well as the Red Sox. A
dozen players names were mem
toned and you had to move
away to keep from getting dizzy.
Clark Griffith grabbed Mickey
Cochrane by the arm again. Mickey's
arm ought to be black and blue by
now because Griff has been grabbing
him ever since he landed last Sunday.
They started for the elevator to 60
upstairs. On the way Jimmy Dykes,
leaning against q marble post, took the
big, black cigar out Of his mouth
and cracked:
well, Mickey, II I don't see you
again (and he winked ct Grin), good
by.
Enter Mr.. Schacht.
THE American League club owners
crept out Of the lobby to convene
upstairs for the first meeting. They
were closeted for three hours, leaving
the managers to do the talking.
Rumors continued to fly thick and
fast. Over In one corner, however, Al
Schacht was providing rumor relief,
such as it was, by describing the new
act ne Is going to pull next year.
II come out as q catcher" said Al,
"and after me comes boy with q

Sugar Bowl Rivals Held Better.
THE Sugar Bowl game is the big
bowl game this year. It will re-
main so even if Santa Clara is licked
in the meanwhile by Texas Christian,
because Santa Clara will still have a
better seasons record than Washing

changed her mind he would give me

Joe mooched on, still wearing
his plaintive look. Later he was
found talking to Dutch Ruether.
You wondered.
Along about $50, when your feet
began to get numb, the American
League meeting broke up and there
was q rush to get the news. What did
Lands say about the Feller case?
There was disappointment on all sides,
except maybe on the part Of the Cleve-
land group, when it was learned that
Lands had said nothing. The club
owners, however, had voted to deaden
the ball, among other items, and every
body discussed this on their way to
dinner.
And So Far Into the Night.
THUS the first oficial day Of the
= American League bull session
went, even as Sunday and Monday
passed, with rumors flying everywhere
and nothing happening.
After dinner, with fat cigars

continued. So it went, far into
the night.

like the New Yorks to fall to pieces,
without the other teams adding

three years. That Is, under normal
circumstances.
Somebody made bright observation
during the afternoon. Looking over
the mob pacing to and fro, he re-
marked, They're too fresh. They
haven't been standing long enough to
get their arches aching and their backs
sore. When this begins maybe they'll
figure they'd better make the darn
deals and get back home and collapse" !"
That seemed as logical way to put

SCHOOLS TO HEAR
GOSPEL Of GAME
Fonseca, Peck to Take New
American League Film
Around Country.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.
os ANGELES. December g.

The American League Is going
to help revive and improve
- college base ball. Along In
March, Lew Fonseca and Roger Peck
inpaugh, former major league stars
and members Of the leagues promo
ton staff, will set out to visit so
colleges in the South, East and Middle
West and spread the gospel that base
ball still is the great American game.
FonSeca and Peckinpaugh both will
be equipped with several reels Of mo-
ton pictures showing American League
stars in action, and, in conjunction
with the show, will lecture to the
collegians. Then they will don uni
forms and assist the coaches in show
ing the youngsters the finer points Of
play and some major league tricks.
Base ball still is an important coll
lege sport in the South and in Ger
tain points of the East, but in the
Middle West it no longer occupies
a major place on the athletic curricu-
lum of many universities. Fonseca Is
of the opinion that the interest Of
the American League will do much to
revive the game among students and
perhaps start it on the upSwing again.
C. C. C. Camps to See Films.
EONSECA also has made connec-
tions with the Government, and
the American Leagues full-length base
ball picture will be shown in 2,069
c. c. c. camps. Base ball is the big
game with c. c. c. boys, and last sea-
son more than $4,000 participated in
the sport.
The American League Is bringing
out new picture within a few weeks
similar to the ones made during the
last two seasons. The new film shows
such youngsters as Joe Di Maggie,
Buddy Lewis and Bob Feller, the IT.
year-old Cleveland pitcher, in action,
as well as many of the older stars
and a roundup Of the high spots in
the world series.
FoSeca and Peckinpaugh are
booked almost solid for their base ball
show through February and are fnd-
ing it difficult to fill all requests. Last
year, Fonseca alone showed the base
ball films to more than 10000 men
and boys and even carried the films
into several institutions.
Made Job for Himself.
EONSECA made his own position
with the American League after
being released as manager of the Chi.
cago White Sox, and today his de-
partment Is one of the most impor.
tant in the organization. Roger Peck.
inpaugh devotes his full time to the
same sort Of promotion, and in the
Winter Umpire George Moriarty gives
his services in the same manner.
What with the numerous base ball
schools conducted by professional
clubs, managers and players and the
American Leagues active promotion
bureau, the game is being given every
chance to reach q new high in popu-
larity.

W0RKERSURGE
SECURITY ACT
CHANGES
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A new drive for amendment OF
the Federal social security pro
gram to permit continuance of
private old age pension systems
In industry has been opened as
the result of appeals from work
erS.
Nearly two million workers in
private corporations are now
under pension plans which, they
fear, will be wrecked when the
new Federal annuity payroll tax
becomes effective January l, 1887.
A conference was planned today
by Senator King CD of Utah.
chairman Of a joint Congressional
committee named to study the
situation, and Senator Clark CD
Of Missouri, who fought for re-
tention of the private systems.
King Tells of Pleas
King said he had received many
appeals from workers who fear
that they will be deprived Of bene-
fits already in sight.
The appeals came from two
classes, those who fear that COM
panies now financing private Sys-
TENS will discontinue them when
the new Federal tax is imposed,
and those who believe that their
prospective benefits will be re-
duced.
The situation is said to be espe-
cially serious for workers near so
years of age in private industry.
If their private system is dropped
and they come under the Federal
system, they will receive but a few
dollars retirement pay from the
Government plan after they are IS.
Thousands to Lose
Many employers maintaining
private systems are said to be
planning to drop them because
they will have to pay also the
Federal payroll tax. King said:

workers will lose unless the prio
vate plans are allowed to con-
tinue. 1t has been proposed to

Other Editors Say

AS was pointed out to me recently. Americans
are really much better off than the citizens
Of practically any other country it would be
possible to name. Many Of our people high and
low alike, feel exploited underprivileged and
imposed upon, while in reality they are TO be
enyied in comparison with the people OF their
same station anywhere else in the world. In
view of this fact it might seem that rather
than TO discuss the shortcomings Of our system
it would be better for our writer's and commen-
tatorS to confine themselves to the brighter as
poets Of our American life
Conditions of life in America have not only
been good. barring periods of depression but
have been getting better The contrary is true
in Europe. There they can more truly look back
upon the good old days than we can. Wars
revots political unrest, and relationships have
taken their toll of human happiness The peo-
pie are all but overwhelmed with debt and taxes.
Their meager earnings made the more
meager because of the high prices caused by
cessiye taxation. War and the threat OF
wsrs prohibit prosperity. Above all is the fact
that the intimate lives of the people are regu-
lated speaking generally. by the iron hand oi
bureaucratic government. In some countries
even the birth of children is regulated by gov
ernment decree, and after the children are born
their names must be Selectd With thought W
