up Luke Sewell. veteran catcher,

Bees Drive Bargains.
The two Boston teams figured
most prominently in the bartering
of players who still are expected
to play major roles in the 1889 sea-
son. The Bees got Buddy Hassett,
young Jimmy Outlaw and Fred
Farmhouse from Brooklyn for Gene
Moore, Ira Hutchinson and Joe
Strip, and AL Todd and Johnny
Dickshot and cash from Pittsburgh
for Ray Mueller. They certainly
didn't lose on either trade.
The Red Sox gave up a couple of
prominent players and got a whole
flock of new ones, mostly pitchers.
They obtained Tom Cary from the
st. Louis Browns for Footsie Mar
cum, Eden Auker, Jake Wade and
Chet Morgan from Detroit for
Pinky Higgins and Archie McKain.
and Denny Galehouse, Infielder
Tommy Irwin from Cleveland for
Ben Chapman, and Boze Berger, an
inf1elder, from the White Sox for
Eric McNair.
The only other deal of major i'm
portance was the Giants-Cubs trade
Of Gus Mancuso, Dick Bartel and
Hank Lieber for Billy Jurges, Ken
ODea and Frank Demaree. That
was a pretty even affair. Other even
up trades included the Yankees
Browns swap of Myril Hoag and Joe
Glenn for Oral Hildebrand and the
Reds-Cardinals trade of Dusty
Cooke for Frenchy Bordagaray.
The Cards, already buying" play
ers from their Rochester farm, sold
Pitcher Ray Harrell to the Cubs,
while Washington picked up Tom
Baker, former Brooklyn and Giant
pitcher, and Jim Carlin, rookie
first baseman, from New York farm
teams in the Bonura deal.

Rose Bowl Jinx

Few in Coast Bottle
Have Played Up to
Great Regulations
BY ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23-The tale
Of all-America football stars per-
forming in the Rose Bowl is a long
one, and in many an instance sad
one.
AS the Duke University eleven,
with its powerful all-America can
dldates, Eric Upton and Dan Hill,
rode on toward Los Angeles today,
and Southern California hit the
practice field again, a review of past
performances in Pasadena's S big bowl
shows many a heartache to the
double-A talent.
Perhaps the most brilliant in
dividual performance of an all
America candidate was turned in
three years ago by Dixie Howell of
Alabama, whose amazing passing
and running set the Stanford eleven
down, 20 to 13.
An example of what can happen
on the other side of the ledger,
however occurred the following year
when these same wow boys" Of
Stanford blanked Southern Method
ist and smothered it's nimble all
America star, Bobby Wilson.
Muller Halted Before Game.
The incident of Brick Muller, Cali
fornia's star in the early 20s. is ia
nous. An underrated Washington
and Jefferson outfit came to the Rose
Bowl, trotted onto the muddy field
and surrounded Muller.
so you're the great Muller" they
chorused, and proceeded to wipe
| their muddy hands on his clean jer-
sey. Muller didn't look an all
America in the game, and the score
was 90.
Pittsburgh, in its first three trips
to the bowl, had grief with its all
America stars. Joe Skladany, bril-
liant end, starred in the 1888 game,
although Southern California
sWamped the Pitts, but in 1880 S. c.
made the Panther all-America, Toby
Uansa, shelve his laurels.
On the opening play the speedy
Uansa boWled over Russ Saunders
and Travelled on so yards. But Saun-
ders got up and caught him, and
Uansa was hardly an all-America
the rest of the afternoon. S. c.
won that one, At to IA.
Other All-Americas Stopped.
Jerry Dalrymple of Tulane had a
bad afternoon with the Trojans in
1882, and so did his teammate, Don
Zimmerman, but S. Cs all-America
back, Erny Pinckert, who turned
from blocking to ball carrying, spent
most enjoyable time leading his
mates to 2l-l2 victory.
Pitt came back in 1887 with the
widely heralded Marshall Goldberg.
but cagy Jock Sutherland pur-
posely switched Biggie out of the
llmelight. and Bobby Larue, Har-
old Stebbins and Patrick took all
the glory as we'll as 21-to-O VIC
tory, at the expense of Washing
ton and its strong team, led by ALL
| America Guard Max Starcevich.
The list of stars and fallen stars
is long and shows, if nothing more,
that the Rose Bowl is a dangerous
place for all-America luminaries.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-As
though the loss of j. Donald
Bulge were not a sufficiently
crushing blow to Americas Davis
Cup future, it now appears likely
that Capt. Walter Pate also will
be missing next summer.
The little Wall Street lawyer
who coached and counseled the

years, has asked President Hol-
combe Ward of the U. S. L. T. A.
to appoint another captain, for
Pate needs to get back to his law

Pote's Retirement Would Be Blow to u S. Net Hopes
Dos Cup copton Credited With Developing Bulge oko Leoe

It is not customary to attach
much Importance to a Davis Cup
captain, possibly because the
average captain doesn't do much
except share in the plaudits for
victory and hand out the official
alibi in defeat. But Pate has not
been an average captain, and he
deserves about as much credit
for having returned the big ten
mis- trophy to America as any
body else, including Bulge.
When Pate took hold of Bulge
four years ago the Coast redhead
was only a hope and a promise,
with a forehand that any public
parks champion would scorn. It
was Pate who persuaded him to
change to his present Eastern"
grip.
Pate made q close friend and

NEW YORK. Dec. 23-Since the
end of the World Series every major
league baseball club except the Phil
adelphia Athletics has figured to
some extent in the buying, selling or
trading of players. Yet the princi-
pal conclusion to be drawn from a
survey of the autumn ivory bartering
is that a lot of room has been made
for the 1899 rookie crop.
About half dozen deals were i'm
portant enough to be announced to
the public in big, black headlines.
They may have prof1ted the partici-
cipants, but the main movement
has been the shifting of dead wood
players past their prime or who
hadn't proved especially useful in
their old positions-either to new
spots or clear out of the big league
picture.
Since October Chick Hafey (Reds>
and Wild Bill Hallahan PhiNies)
have been handed outright releases.
Shipped off to the minors were Joe
Cascarella and Dee Moore (Reds)
Phil Weintraub Phillies). Bill Cis-
sell (Giants), Jim Asbell, Tex Carle-
ton and Coaker Triplett (Cubs)
Bobby Refs (Bees), Roy Henshaw

White and Tony Piet Tigers).
Tigers in Biggest Deal.
White and Piet figured in one of
the most important deals, the Tigers
purchase of young Freddie Hutchin-
son from Seattle for a large wad of
cash and four players, two of them
minor leaguers. Yet they had one
thing in common with most of the
others; they're veterans who no
longer were able to hold regular
places against the competition.
Then there were other veterans,
most prominent among them Zeke
Bonura, who were passed from one
league to another by the waiver route
or who caught on with a new club
after having been released by the
old one.
Eight American League clubs
couldn't use Bonura, but the New
York Giants figure he's just the

insisted that Mako was greater
tennis player than any one
thought. and Gene proved 1t for
him last season.
II guess one reason I want to
quit is that I dread the task Of
putting togther another Davis
Cup doubles team" he said.
AFTER watching Bulge and Mako
gradually develop into the great
est pair in the world. I'm afraid
I'll be expecting too much Of
their successors"
Pate was so conscientious about
his captaincy that when he took
the team to London for its vic
torious challenge two summers
ago he wouldn't let Mrs. Pate go
along. When he got there he
didn't explore Mayfair or make
the customary round Of lunch
cons and dinners.
