DEAD BALL MAY eur DOWN TANKS HITTING POWER
Less-Lively "Apple" to Be Used; High Price Stalls
 Deal for MungO
By STEVE SNYDER

United Press Stan C0rrespOndent)
 Chicago, Dec. 6--(UP)-Swap talk hit new low today as major league baseball officials cloSeted themselves in the first of their an- nual business meetings scheduled this week in two Loop hotels.
 Ever-present, of course, was the name of Van Lingle Mungo, @ right handed fastball pitcher from Brook lyn, who wants to be peddled to arl- other club-any club to get away from Brooklyn. But the Dodgers want too much in return and the deal temporarily is stalled while the New York Giants, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates try to drive the price down. NsHy
 Chief order of business in the American League appeared to be re- moving some of the "urnph" from the rabbit ball now in use. Most club officials agreed they will have bet- ter change building their own teams up to the Yankees if those power house hitters, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Bill DicKey and friends, have @ less lively ball to swing at.
 Difficulties the manufacturers re- ported in turning out @ "deader" ball sufficiently durable to withstand hand knock apparently have been ironed out. ,.
 President will Harridge of the American League declared positive. ly Next years ball definitely will be less lively"
 Every major league manager but Connie Mack was on hand ct least @ day before the meetings opened. Mack arrived today. Most of them hung around the iobbies of the two convention hotels, using the sales talks they rehearsed during the minor league meet at Milwaukee last week.
 Every one of them had plenty of listeners but no takers and the only Sunday deal announced sent Floyd (Babe) Herman, onetime National League outfeld star, to the New York Giants International League club at Jersey City.
 Herman, who finished @ successful season at Toledo in the American Association last season, reportedly received $7,500 for signing 6 con- tract. He was e free agent.
 Spiciest incident of the pre.con- vention festivities was a hare-up be- tween Bill Terry, manager of the Giants and Joe Mccarthy of the world champion Yankees.
 It's an old feud between Terry and McCarthy--Joe recalled that Bill twice had failed to congratulate him for licking the Giants in the last two world series-but never before had they exchanged words In public
 Seated with newspapermen and Yankee ofticials, Mccarthy noticed the Giant manager sauntering by smoking Q pipe. Joe doesn't like pipes.
 "How can you manage a ball ciut smoking Q pipe9" he asked with a smile. The man with the pipe inut- tered something about you Blue Ribbon guys" and the rest was lost In cloud of smoke as Terry walked away.

Los Angeles, Dec. 6-(UP)-Per. haps the mystery which has sur- rounded 0ermany's Big Bertha" gun that shelled Paris from Q dis- tance of 40 miles during the World war was cleared away on Saturday in the football game between South- ern California and U. Q. L. A. ~
 Certainly 1t would surprise none of the 00000 of us who saw the game to learn that Big Bertha" wasn't c Krupp product at all but only Kenny Washington, halfback on the U. 0. L. A. eleven. Because Kenny, late in the final period of the ra-city battle, gave the most astounding exhibition of long dis- tance firing ever seen on any grid- iron.
 In the space of 2s seconds this gangling Negro sophomore unloosed two mighty touchdown forward passes, and today the whole town was guessing as to just how far they did travel through the air.
 The distance of the first one has been pretty well set at 4s yards, but the second, and more tremendous one, still has everyone puzzled, ex- perts and laymen alike. The con- census in tho press box right after the pass was completed placed the flight as somewhere between 72 and 70 yards. Piercing the gathering gloom as thoroughly as his aged eyes would allow him, this observer saw the pass as one thrown from U. O.. L. As 12 yard mark and caught on U. s. C.s l2 yard mark for e dis- tance of 70 yards. All other esti- mates by critics were within four yard range of my own.
 The arguments started late ycS- terday when the Fox inoyietone offi- cials held q private showing Of their shots of the pass. These pictures, none too clear, showed Washington fading back to his own 10 and throwing to Hal Hirshon the Tro. jaf,'s %. If correct. this reduced the distance to 02 yards and robs 1t Of being e world record toss in c ma jor game, as was generally believed when Hirshoii took it of the dead rui, and raced on for c touchdown.
 But-Land this is not meant as Q slap at the accuracy of the Fox Brownie boxes, 1 and 2--the debate over the yards covered by the pass will continue until all returns are fin, the returns" being 6 showing of all of the movies made at the game. It Id iikeiy that the official UCLA Athletic Association filin will be ace cepted as final. There is little doubt however, that the Washington to Hirshon aerial was c inightier one than the celebrated pass thrown by Brick" Muller at California fin the 1921 Rose Bowl game against Ohio State. Muller, now . successful

physician, has said repeatedly that his pass to Brodie Stephens who Is now e doctor too, could not have travelled more than b6 yards.
 As Muller explains 1t, tho ball was on Ohio States 38 yard stripe when he, an end, got the ball and faded back to throw. Muller says that he Is sure he did not retreat much be- yond midfeld. Stephens managed to catch the pass two yards from Ohio States goal line. The ball was on UCLAs 28 yard line when Wash- ington dropped back to throw to Hirshori on Saturday.
 The FC% pictures reveal that Hirshon deserves tremendous credit for his catch. He had to have Q great burst of speed to be down un- der 1t, because Washington was rushed and didn't have too much time, and he had to be sure fingered and cool because he took 1t on the dead run while harassed by a de- fender.
 The pass was 6 perfect one, dead on the spot. Washington's distance and accuracy is made the most re: markable when 1t is remembered that for three full periods he had done most of the UCLA ball carry ing, 6 great share of tackling. Ear Her in the period he had shown signs of wear and tear. He limped and occasionally doubled over as If hurt in the body. But when the time came for his to start firing, he was 6 Big Bertha.
 Washington's passing made for one of the dime-novelist final quar. ters in the history of coast football. Beaten to q frazzle for 54 minutes by q superior Trojan team. the Bruins came within q whlsker Of winning.
