only singled.
Wes Ferrell has little of Babe Ruth
in him. He doesn't know the names
of his own teammates. Not until yes
terday did he know which of the
pitchers was Ray Phebus.
Phebus, incidentally, worked himself
out of a tough spot ip the Detroit
eighth. With the Mats leading, 4 to
3, Charley Gehringer opened the
inning with tremendous triple. This
brought up Hank Greenberg, with
Rudy York on deck.
Greenberg lifted a foul to Ferrell.
Then York hoisted high pop to Cecil
Travis in short left field. Gehringer
tried to score and was doubled on
Cecils fine throw to Ferrell.
Weaver did not hurt his chances
for the opening game assignment

a tryout by the Cards here this spring.
He is Jimmy Webb, a shortstop who
was at Cedar Rapids in 1896.
The Cards, of course, will have to
pay s2,176 in fines imposed on three
of their clubs, but that is not enough
to bother hickey. More sympathy was
felt for the II members of the Monett
Club Of the Arkansas Missouri League
who must find new jobs at this late
date. Those declared free agents on
the other teams will be permitted to
sign back for 1888 if they don't receive

There was some conjecture whether
the big league clubs who are on the
lookout for promising material for
their farm teams would 60 after the
cream of those turned loose by Lands.
They might not regard it as cricket
to take advantage of Rickey's slip-up
and so leave the lads no alternative
but to sign right back into the chain
gang.
Some regarded the decision as the
most important and far-reaching de-
livered by Judge Lands in his many
years of baseball's highest bench.
They saw in it a death blow to gen
tlemen's agreements" between major
and minor league clubs. and predicted
that those who have been skirting the
law would sign the pledge.

CARD FARM CHAIN
NOT BADLY BROKEN
Only Class D Teams Hard
Hit When Lands Frees
100 Covered Players.
BY GALE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March "a.
The citrus circuit wondered today
whether Branch Hickey, the David
Harum" of baseball and addict of
"gentlemen's agreements" was going
to take lying down the whacxing
around he and the st. Louis Cardinals
got from Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands yesterday.
Up to late hour last night Hickey
still was studying the judges lengthy
tome and declining to make q state
ment Of any kind. He would not even
enter a plea Of mot guilty because of
getting caught" but there was feel
ing that he would have something to
say today about all those lovely young
players the czar turned loose and the
fines he imposed.
The judge, If you were not listening
when he emerged from his Information
at nearby Belleair yesterday, made
free agents out OF practically all the
players on six Midwest clubs, including
Cedar Rapids of the Three-Eye League,
because he said the Cardinals had been
consorting clandestinely with Cedar
Rapids for the last two seasons.
Hickey Principal Target.
Hickey, as head of the Cards farm
system, was the principal target. It
has been fairly common knowledge for
a long time that Lands wanted to
"cotch" the st. Louis slicker, and the
surprise was that he didn't crack down
harder when he got the evidence. The
judge said, though, that he desired to
take only the remedial and preventive
action" required to end the situation. -
AS a matter Of tact, all the Cards
lose are their strings on about 100
young players, most of them Of Glass
D. caliber. Only one. is being given

Purchase of Catcher Giuliani

Seuen Cut From Camp Squad
BY Stan Correspondent of The Star.

By Stan CORRESPONDENT Of The Star.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March "a.
The days of Rookie Catcher Mickey
Livingston with the Mats are num-
bered now with the purchase of An
gelo Giuliani from the st. Louis
Browns.
Owner Clark Griffith admitted as
much today. saying that Livingston
probably would be farmed out in the
next few days Livingston, it will be
recalled, was the rookie toast of train
ing camp until the pitchers started
to curve EN-
The status of Jake Early, another
recruit backstop, also is clouded by
the acquisition of Giuliani We'll
probably keep Early for a while" said
Grif1, because we like him. But the
chances are that both Early and Liv-
ingston will be farmed out before the
season opens.
Giuliani was purchased for $500,
according to Griffith. The Mats
claimed the young man all winter, but
the Browns kept withdrawing him
from the waiver list. Last night Grif-
fifth prevailed upon Owner Don Barnes
Of st. Louis to part with him In an
outright sale.
Giuliani is IS years old and a for
mer Catholic University athlete. He
went out for football as a freshman
but quit school to play professional
baseball. He is rated as a good re-
ceiver, fine thrower and a fast run
ner. Angelo is not much of a hitter,
however.
I'VE don't expect him to hit much. "
said Griffith. "All We want is some
body to hold up game for us in the
event that Rick Ferrell is injured or
needs a rest
Elon Hogsett. the southpaw pitcher
who came from the Browns in trade
last winter, gave Giuliani a fine send
of. Hogsett thinks that Giuliani is
better receiver than Rollie Hemsley.
Giuliani played in lot games with
San Antonio in the Texas League last
year and batted .27l. Recalled by the
Browns toward the end of the season,
he batted 1902 for 19 games.

YALE CRIDDERS TO
 PRACTICE DAYS

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 8.-(UP( Vale university football officials under strong criticism for starting preseason gridiron practice later than other schools, agreed today to allow IT days practice before the first game, beginning in 194O.
 The shift in policy from a flat September IS opening day for prac- tice was announced here last night by Malcolm Farmer, chairman of the board of athletic control.
 Harvard and Princeton" he said, wanted q days, but we felt that 21 days would perhaps be over emphasizing the matetr of pre-sea- son practice. We think now that Harvard and Princeton will see it our way.
 Next year all three will again start practice on September IS. The following year, Yale, Harvard and Princeton squads will report the Monday in December that, with the rotation of the calendar, guarantees 1T days of practice prior to the first game of the season.
 "The coaches, the players and the medical department feel that IT days are adequate. The athletic de- partment feels such as light ex- tentiOn is sensible without a touch of over emphasis"

In the duckpin bowling world fol- lowers of Bill Dente might wonder what would happen if he rolled Joe Cacek but conflicting league sched- ules and sweepstake engagements often prevent two stars coming into actual combat.
