four of them for my shortstop. But
didn't like it,"
Outflelder Roy Cullenbine, q
promising prospect who is sought
by Griffith, was one Of the Tigers
who was offered. But Detroit stopped
offering promising youngsters with
Cullenbine. The Tigers also placed
as available Pitcher Eden Auker,
since traded to the Red Sox; Pitcher
Jake Wade, also. sent to Boston;
Outflelder Pete Fox, and minor
league first baseman who finally
went in the Hutchinson deal with
Seattle.
Griffith definitely is interested in
acquiring Catcher Birdie Tebbetts
Of the Tigers. He would rather have
Tebbetts than Rudy York, the big
Indian slugger. and if the Detroits
insist on taking Travis he will ask
for shortstop
The Tigers have two shortstops,
Bill Rogell, the fading veteran, and
Frank Croucher, highly promising
rookie who broke his leg in an exhi-
bition game last spring against the
Mats in training camp. Croucher is
preferred, definitely.
Detroit Has Power Club. i
Griffith says he has no intentions
of pursuing the Tigers. They're the
fellows who want to DEAL" he ex-
planned, "and they'll have to bring
up the subject again" He refused
to say for what he would trade
Travis, but this observer believes
that If Detroit offers Cullenbine,
Croucher, Tebbetts and possibly q
young pitcher then Washington will
be happy to send Travis and Catcher
Rick Ferren to Tigertown.
At that it might not be bad deal
all around. The Tigers finally made
q deal as the meeting broke up,
sending Auker, Wade and Outfielder
Chick Morgan to Boston for Third
Baseman Pinky Higgins and Pitcher
Archie McKain. This deal seems to
pave the way for the entrance Of
Cleveland's Earl Averill into Detroit.

to round up a good hitting club"

PRINCETON, N. j., Dec. 16.-The
Daily Princetonian, Princeton Uni
versity undergraduate newspaper
said in an editorial that "the time
is now ripper than ever before" for
official organization of the so-called
'ivy league" for football teams of
Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Colum-
bia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Penn
sylvania.
The editorial said "the seven in
stitutions referred to are natural
rivals and are drawn together al
ready in baseball, basketball and
track associations They compose
the Eastern intercollegiate basket
ball and Baseball Conferences and
annually hold a heptagonal track
and field meet.
Formation of the "ivy league" the
paper said, was a golden oppor-
tunity" to standardize agreements
between the colleges on preseason
practice, post-season football games
eligibility rules, registration of ath-
leteS and analysis of their financial
backgrounds, to outlaw the "tramn
athlete and to curtail athletic SUBJ

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The base
bah men have left this old trading
post after three riotous days during
which the conversation went round
and round, and in calm retrospect
today it looks as If the Detroit
Tigers did more good for themselves
than any other club.
In landing Third Baseman Pinky
Higgins, a proven star, in yesterdays
major trade with the Boston Red
Sox, the Tigers finally managed to
board up their blind spot, a pro-
nounced weakness at third base
Now all Manager Del Baker has to
worry about is where to play Rudy
York.
Neither the Boston Red sox, who
finished second in the junior loop,
nor Cleveland, which staggered in
third ahead Of Detroit, appears to
have benefited materially from
what small trading was done, so
Detroit must automatically become
the choice to chase the Yankees to
the wire next year.
Cleveland acquired the veteran
outf1elder, Ben Chapman. The Red
Sox got three fair-to-middling
pitchers In Elden Auker and Jake
Wade from Detroit and Denny Gale
house from Cleveland. The Sox
were in desperate need of mound
replacements, since old Lefty Grove
finally has pitched his arm away.
Chapman adds temperament to
Cleveland, q club which already
owned more than its share.
Tigers Gamble on Hutchinson.
In giving up Auker and Wade, De-
troit has gambled nightly that
Fred Hutchinson, its expensive
young pitching prize from Seattle,
will live up to his price tag. The
Tigers gave two seasoned players,
Jo-Jo White and Tony Piet, and q

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


Clark Griffith was back from the
winter baseball meeting in New
York today with no new ball players,
but with what he termed IAN iron
in the fire"
The iron, Of course, is the long
brewing, but as yet incompleted
deal with the Detroit Tigers who
want Mr.. GI1fith's young shortstop,
Cecil Travis. The Detroits failed
to offer enough in the way of play
ers to lure Travis away from the
Nationals.
There was $50 900 in Mr.. Griffith' s
pocket, as well as the bill of right
to Messrs. Tom Baker and Jimmy
Carlin, all as a result of the sale OF
First Baseman Zeke Bonura to the
New York Giants. Nightly, Grifiith
tried to purchase two pitchers with
the 80 G's, but he didn't succeed.
Its the same as last year, guess,
explained Griffith. I'VE couldn't
make a big deal at the Chicago
meeting, but we laid the foundation

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Carnegie
Techs football victory over Pitts
burgh was ranked officially as the
No. upset of the 1888 sports season
| by the 10 sports experts participate
ing in the Associated Press eighth
annual poll today, but analysis of
the returns reveals that the outcome
of the heated National League pen
nant race actually was the biggest
surprise.
This apparent paradox was brought
about by the fact that the sports
critics who mentioned the National
League race approached it from two
directions. One group suggested
that the Chicago Cubs fast finish
was the biggest surprise. Another
group took the position that it was
the collapse of the Pittsburgh
Pirates which was most astonishing.
Plaid Win Gets Big Total.
With points awarded on a 3-2-1
basis as each expert made three
nominations to the upset" list,
Carnegie Techs 20-l0 triumph over
Pitt was given a total Of 5512 points
to top the list. Thirty-one points
went to the Cubs for their pennant
victory and Is to the Pirates for
their collapse. Combining the Cubs
and Pirates points would produce
total Of Sc points, half-point more
than was credited to Carnegie Tech.
In the actual tabulation which
ranks Carnegie Techs feat at the
top, Joe Louis one-round knockout
of Max Schmeling was rated as the
next biggest surprise. Then fol-
lowed the Cubs-pennant victory;
Seabiscuits victory over War Ad-
miral in their match race; the Gin

collapse and the Chicago Black
