bartering at the annual minor
league meeting, headed northward
today for another session Tuesday
at the major league convention IN

Local fans speculated over re-

William E. BenSWanger, president
treasurer of the Pirates, declined
either to deny or affirm the rumor
before he left by plane.

II won't say we won't buy him. It
will be at least three or four days

Joe Mccarthy, manager OF the
New York Yankees, asked if his
team was dickering for Hutchinson,
commented:

Loss Of Riley Smith
To Coaching Ranks
Blow 10 Redskins
w. and L. Gains Greet
Prospect to Teach
Its Ball Toters
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

The man generally credited with
being the brains of the Redskins
on the playing field for the last
three years and whom every one
said some day would make a great
college coach was mentor today.
And even had the ex-champions
obtained all of their preferences in
the annual college draft at New
York yesterday, it is 1901 that they
wouldn't have come up with the
equal of Riley Smith, whom they
have lost to Washington and Lee
University, where he will tutor the
backfleld.
AS a strategist. field leader, in
spirer of his fellow players and a
crack all-around back himself,
Smith was all that a great quarter
back should be. He would have been
great as either-player or quarter
back-and when he proved as val
liable as point-getter, through the
deXterity of his field-goal kicking
toe, the Redskins could ask no more.
Inspired Confidence.
But Riley had that certain some
thing which influences men under
him to follow his direction, a conf
dence-giving quality which made
him worth his weight in gold. He
was the kind of quarterback you
liked to see calling 'em, for there was
the feeling that he would call the
right play 9 times out of TO- Espe-
cially when the going was toughest
would Smith be appreciated most,
for he rarely made a mistake in a
pinch
Many followers of the Redskins
expressed the belief today that the
Indians couldn't have lost more
valuable back-and that goes for
Sammy Baugh, Andy Farkas, Bill
Hartman or the rest. Yet, by the
same token, they believed that no
college could have picked a finer
prospect as a coach from any team
in the National Football League.
Smith, former all-America at
Alabama, which he piloted to Rose
Bowl victory in 1886, should be
right at home in another Southern
school such as Washington and Lee,
and as backfield coach should be
in his element
II simply realized that I couldn't
go on forever as a player" Smith
said today, land, with a chance to
do something I've wanted to do for
long time, I grabbed it,"
1t seems a tough job is ahead of
the Redskins next year. Maybe
that's why they drafted IL backs
among the 20 college seniors whose
pro football futures, if any, are up
to the Redskins.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o.-They were
saying today Roscoe Toles, the
dusky Detroiter, had finished Gun
mar Barlund's prospects in the Amer
ican heavyweight preserve by 10
round decision last night-but Toles
own rating wasn't helped much.
This was because the big Detroit
Negro kept firing repeating right
into Barlund's face throughout the
fight last night only to find it was
too small caliber. Although the
Finn was bleeding from the blows in
the first round, he never was knocked
down and succeeded in sending back
an occasional shot to the midsection
which showed Toles was not particu-
lerly rugged thereabouts.
Toles weighed 1861 three-fourths

Pro Grid Crown
Tilt Tomorrow
Held Toss-Up
10000 Fans Scramble
For Seats at Clash
Of Packers, Giants
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-ClOse to
$4,000 fans will bank themselves in
the Polo Grounds tomorrow to watch
the New York Giants and the Green
Bay Packers fight for the champion
ship of the National Professional
Football League.
1t is the seasons S real Sugar" Bowl
game, with the players of the con-
tending teams splitting 60 per cent
of the gate receipts and the respec-
tive owners also doing very we'll for
themselves, thank you.
Each member of the winning side
will realize something like $500 to
help him through the winter, while
the losing gladiators will pocket
about $400 apiece. This in addition
to the fairly fat salaries they have
received in the past several months.
The scramble for seats has been
so enthusiastic that even the Fed
eral agents are trying to find out
what happened to all the seats be-
tween the 10-yard lines. Tim Mara,
owner of the Giants, is trying hard
to explain to their satisfaction.
Game Regarded Toss-up.
Exactly 10 years ago when pro-
fessional football was very young,
Mara announced that the season had
cost him cool s5O000, and II years
back, almost to the day. the Giants
and the Chicago Bears played at the
Polo Grounds before 80 cash GUS
toners
Professional football, the boy Won
der of sports, has grown up so sud-
denly that nobody even noticed
when his voice changed.
The game is regarded as a toss-up,
despite the fact the Giants gave the
Western division champions thor
ough going-over on their last visit
here. The Packers, on that occasion,
gained practically all the ground,
but the Giants scored the touch
downs. Tomorrow the Packers will
have Don Hutson, the best pass re-
ceiver in the league, back in their
lineup
A week ago the Giants looked one
of the hottest elevens in history as
they squelched the Washington Red
skins, SO to 0. for the Eastern divi-
sion title. There is slight chance of
such one-sided result tomorrow
as Green Bay is well-knit. power
full team that never gets showed
around much.
Great Threats in Action.
The Giants greatest offensive
threat is Big Ed Danowski, formerly
of F'ordham, who in the past five
seasons has completed 255 out of
5l2 passes thrown. Green Bay owns
in Cecil Isbell, out of Purdue Univer-
sity, the outstanding sophomore"
back of the year.
Clark Hinkle of Green Bay is
called by many critics the hardest
running ball-carrier since the days
of Bronko Nagurski. The Giants
have in Tuffy Leeman and Ward
Cuff blocker combination
that reminds the timers of
Grange and Britton at Illinois.
The two lines, of course, are COM
posed of the biggest, toughest hon.
bres that have come out of the COL
leges in the last eight years. Mel
Helm, the Giants "one man line"
has been all-league center for five
straight years.
