tests last year, but that agreement
did not run through 1941 and Bar
rows, for one, says that this con-
tract won't be renewed.
Don Barnes got the permission,
according to those who have talked
with Barrow, because of finan-
cial expediency. That reason no
longer exists"
Another item which long has an
noyed Griffith has been the syn
thetic double header on Sundays.
In his argument on this score he
finds loyal ally in Barrow, usually
a confirmed dissenter.
Griffith believes that synthetic
double headers In st. Louis have
been running Saturday games. Bar
row puts in with this theory. 1t is
Griff1th's proposal to limit Sunday
twin bills to the last week of the
season and he is more than likely
to see this passed, with Barrow be-
hind him. AS for the increase in
night game dates your guess is as
good as anybody else's.

Dodgers, Cubs, Reds Take
Initiative as Big Show
Adopts Major Setting
BY TOM SILER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, Dec. Trade con-
scious baseball executives. seeking
player strength at their rivals ex-
pense, began trickling into Chicago
tonight for the annual winter meet
ings of the National and American
Leagues.
Many came here direct from At
lanta, where most of them were shut
out in the trading mart during the
minor league meeting
The two big leagues have set aside
Tuesday and Wednesday to handle
their respective business sessions,
leaving Thursday for the Joint meet
ing with Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands.
Cubs Hunt for Catcher.
But the attention of most officials
will be concentrated on acquiring
added talent in trades and pur-
chases. Brooklyn, for instance, still
is seeking dependable outfielder
to 60 with Catcher Mickey Owen,
obtained from st. Louis, and Pitcher
Kirby Higbe, bought from the Phil
lies. Cincinnati has shown a desire
to negotiate a trade built around
Outfielder Harry Craft and the Chi
cago Cubs are hunting for catcher
and possibly a pitcher.
Pittsburgh wants a first-grade
pitcher. the New York Giants an
outfielder, while the Boston Bees
and Phils are sitting tight.
A hard-hitting outfielder is Cleve-
lands most urgent need and the
Chicago White Sox could use a
steady infielder and a game-busting
outflelder. The Boston Red Sox are
short on pitchers and catcher, as
are the st. Louis Browns. The YAM
KEGS aren't expected to do much, if
any, trading, while the Athletics and
Washington Senators have shown
little inclination to risk giving up
their top-flighters in player swaps.
Tigers Forbidden to Trade.
Detroit, pennant winner. is for
hidden to trade with other league
clubs under the ban placed on the
championship Yankees q year ago.
This rule may be changed when the
league moguls get together Tuesday.
The two leagues are expected to
make some provision for trades af-
fected by subsequent CONSUMPTION
for military service and to consider
the extension of Lands term as
commissioner. His tenure expires
in 1912 and the American League
has proposed that he continue in
Office until January, 1916.

CAMP BEAUREGARD, La, Dec.
T. Uncle Sam has kept the
Michigan and Wisconsin Nation
al Guard troops here so busy
since their arrival In october
that so far their athletic program
has been only academic-but
pretty soon now the program is
due to roll.
While the collegians are pack
ing away their shoulder pads and

football season, thanks to the be-
nign Southern climate, which was

Unfair Toefie,

1T is coming to pass that. instead of
playing the game for the love of 1t,
team sometimes seems to cultivate
a takes-all, win-by-
attitude. During a recent intercol-
legIate football season, for example,
the tackle of one important team
deliberately kicked up dust into the
eyes OF the defending end on the other
team. These tactics clearly observed
by, and justly enraglng to. the spec
tators. escaped the referees attention
until the opposing player lost his head,
too, and attacked the tackle. Then the
referee discovered the original bad
craftsmanship on the tackles part

Winning Is Not All

l HIS is, OF course, an exaggerated
statement, for there IS certainly more
good sportsmanshlp than bad. Yet 1t
is a not oVcrdrawn indication of the
harmful intensity with which the idea
that Il must win" is being impressed
on many boys and, in a few cases,
even on girls.
Amateur games played between col
legeS, still more particularly between
schools, should be played in friendly
spirit. The rOOters for the home team
should not sit in sulen silence when
man on the visiting team makes bril-
liant play, and break out IN derlslve
bOos or growls whenever poor player
makes an error Naturally, you hurrah
and yell for your own team and for
you need not completely forget that,
on your own home grounds, the mem
bers OF the visiting team are your
teams guests. 1t would not be dis
loyal to your own players for you to
give cheer or a shout of approval
for exceptional skill byOne of the other
players.
Certainly 1t is abominable, after the
game IS over, to hear the far too we'll
known boastlng Of how good" we
were. But it is still worse to hear after
the game: We lost because one on the
other side did something unfalrr

and gave a mcrltcd decision against
his team.
The spectators. however. had by
tins time also become injected with
a spirit of bad sportsmanshlp and an
adverse decision was not enough to
satisfy them. SO later when another
and innocent player on the offending
tackles team was injured and had To
be carried off the field, the spectators
cheered the boys misfortune. This IS
not sport. nor sportSmanshlp, on the
part either OF the team compromised
by the unscrupulous player, or Of the
spectators with their spirit of mob
revenge.
Spectators, moreover. are sometimes
guilty of smaller but very unattraCtlve
sins against the code. They have been
known more than once to boo Il ref
eree's decision simply because 1t went
against their favoute team.
Perhaps, indeed, the spectators are
more to blame than the players Their
unsporting behavior, which Is at best
bad manners, encourages an undcsr-
able attitude in the players. At worst,
the behavior of the spectators is apt
to be suggestive OF the attitude OF the

"OR generations. good sportsman
ship has been the distinguishing
L characteristic OF a thoroughbred.
And now in the height of the football
season. IL is timely to consider the
elements of this good craftsmanship.
To play game for love of the game.
To go IN for sports for the fun of
the contest.
To try your best to win, and to be
glad to win.
To meet defeat gallantly.
To take victory casually
To give your partner credit for his
help. either in winning or in stavlng
off greater defeat.
This Is the code of a sportsman. 1t
is also 4 fragment of the code of a
gentleman.
The very reason why amateur rating
has always been held IN high esteem
is that the games played by amateurs
are not played in the hope of monetary
gain. but solely for the enjoyment OF
playing.

 May Not Solve Problem
 Such training, however, does not appear likely to solve the problem of the need for highly skilled work CTS. Skilled machinists, toolmakers, die sinkers and. die setters, cannot be produced in 200 hours. A dif- ferent attack must be made on this problem, one phase of which might be the in service training of sen1i- skilled workers for promotion to highly skilled occupations"

Goldstein, the braggart, screamed for mercy, tried to make a speech to the jury, and when bailiff silenced him, shouted: Don't I deserve chance to say one little word before die?" Hustled past the jury box he yelled: Thank you gentlemen of the jury. On that testimony, that was the only verdict you could bring in."
 They were convicted of strangling Irving CPuggy) Feinstein and burn ing his body. Feinstein, bookmaker, had incurred the displeasure of AL bert Anastasia, fugitive leader of a Brooklyn waterfront mob. Anastasia engaged the services of Murder.

 In reassuring the jurors that their verdict had been just, Judge Fitz- gerald said, '"The district attorney has informed me that they have absolute proof that Strauss has committed 20 murcers since 1880: Goldstein three murders. in the Brownsville section (of Brooklyn) murder was rampant.
