NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The New
York football Giants, a singularly
negative, but successful grid ma
chine, today were the professional
champions of the world while the in
dustry itself paused on a new high
popularity peak.
The Giants, seemingly always out
rushed, outpassed and out-first
doWned, defeated the Green Bay
Packers before 1920 cash customers
at the Polo Grounds yesterday in
one of the real meier -drammers of
the sport, % to II. They became,
in the process, the second straight
Eastern team to win the title and
displaced the Washington Redskins.
The battle, finished under flood
lights and threat of fistic free-for-
all, attracted gate of $68, ,331 80 and
sent the graybeards searching their
mental files for notes on the first
Green Bay-New York game. Ten
years ago the same teams played in
the same park before less than 80
paying fans.
The Giants took some of the sting
out of the Redskins season in their
victory. A week before they had
crushed the defending champions,
800, although Washington out
gained them. Today, in their mo-
ment of victory. many critics still
were claiming Green Bay as the
better team. but the Giants won
in copyrighted fashion and no
claims could keep them from COL

With representatives of many

The Brooklyn Dodgers loudly were
auctioning First Baseman Buddy

the prospects. Asked for his slant

Phils' new pilot just up from Little
Rock in the Southern Association,
drawled:

The other baseball men were TAX

specific trades. Some of the talk
centered on the administrative
problems which will come before the
National and American Leagues in
the separate meetings during the
next two days and the joint meeting
Thursday.
Would Raise Player Limit.
There was widespread belief that
the player limit would be raised from
% to its pre-depression level of 25
and also opinion that the American
League would adopt the ball now
used by the National League.
The proposal of the Croesus- like
Yankees to spread player salaries
over an 8-month period instead of
six in order to insure prompt report
ing at training camps was froWned
upon by many representatives, and
the desire of the Cleveland Indians
and Philadelphia Athletics for night
baseball fell under the doubtful

in which everybody is trying to trade
an apple for an orchard. officially
opens tomorrow, but President Clark

Infielder James Carlin and Joe

Today, still raring to go, Griffith was

This time there is reason to believe
that Griffith did not ask for con-

Tigers shortstopping since 1881, no

For Giants, ExceIIed in All
But Scoring by Packers

But today the Giants had a record
that probably is the best of recent
years. In their last nine games
they were unbeaten. One team,
Brooklyn, gained a surprising TT
tie over this stretch. The Giants,
who allow the enemy to do all the
work, but who lie in wait for mis-
takes, defeated Washington (twice)
Philadelphia. Brooklyn, Chicago's
Cardinals, Cleveland and Green
Bay tWice), in addition to tying
the Dodgers.
Green Bay, installed as favorite
as the teams took the field, won
the game on statistics. The Pack

gained l64 yards by rushing to lis.

Leemans Carries for Score.
The Giants, though. scored the
points in a thriller that matched
last years finale between the Red
skins and Chicago Bears. The 1887
game ended in a 1921 score. In
yesterdays game the crowd was on
its feet and surrounding the field
right down to the final gun.
Early in the first period the
Giants displayed the alertness
which has marked their play all
year. Jim Lee Howell, a towering
end, blocked punt by Clark Hinkle
and recovered the ball on Green
Bays 7-yard line. After three plays
had failed to gain, the Giants gave
the ball to Ward Cuff to kick and
the former Marquette star booted a
field goal for 80 lead
Another blocked kick in the same
period trebled the New York lead.
The other end, Jim Poole, blocked
kick by Hinkle and Howell re-
covered on the Packers %. A pass
from Ed DanoWski to Tuffy Lee
mans gained yards and on two
rushing plays Leemans reached the
5-yard line. Trying again, Tuffy
went over for touchdown, and al
though Johnny Gildea missed the
extra point, it was 80.
The Packers put themselves back
in the game with a sensational play
