THE WA AND POLITICs

The Republicans are playing with
the big Idea OF making an issae Of

Some Republican big-boys charge
THAT the New Deal is using the WPA
to get votes, and the G. o. p. may
propose to cut out relief adminis-
tratiOn from Washington and put it
under the direction Of states and To-
cal communities.
Governor Stassen win be the key

Griffith also intimated the Mats

Outfielder Roy Cullenbine, although
the president of the Washington
ball club says he isn't particularly

lenbine batted 284 in Is games with
the Tigers in 1888 and only .24O in
IS games last year.
Harris, though. often has ex-
pressed liking for Cullenbine, de-

Trout, voted the Texas League S
most valuable player in 1898, when
he won 28 games and lost 6 for
Beaumont, also is reported to have
received a bid from the st. Louis
Cardinals, and many other clubs
including the New York Yankees
are expected to make efforts to OBJ
tain the right-hander. Among the
more strenuous bidders, it is be-
lieved, will be the Boston Red Sox
New Deal for York Looms.
The 24-year-old Trout, who won
nine games and lost 10 with the
Tigers last year, is regarded highly
in baseball circles, while Mccoy
who batted .305 in SIS games as q
rookie last year, was stamped as
flrst-year sensation in subbine
for the injured Charley Gehringer
The much discussed and otter
stymied deal whereby Washington
would obtain Rudy York for Short
stop Cecil Travis also is expected
to be reopened. How Lands edict
will affect the Mats chances OF
landing York, however, is conjec-
tural. Detroit stalled negotiations
in December, preferring to await
the result of Lands investigation
and now that York has been cleared
he is expected to be placed on the

Naturally, I'm disappointed in

B. the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Ninety-two
baseball players were footloose and
fancy free today and many of them
stood a fine chance to profit hand
somely from their newly ly-awarded
freedom.
Commissioner K. M. Lands
clipped the legal ties, that bound
them to major and minor league
clubs yesterday, giving each of them
the opportunity to bargain with
whichever club he pleases for his
services in the future.
Paul Dizzy Trout, Detroit
pitcher who won nine and lost 10
last year, said his release should
be worth $4,000 to me-" and added:
That's what the New York
Yankees paid for Tom Heinrich
made free agent by Lands a
few years ago) and I think I'm
worth as much or more, especially
when you consider the scarcity of
pitchers"
Collenbine in No Hurry.
Roy Collenbine, Detroit outfielder
who hit 240 in rs games last sea-
son, said he already had received
several offers. but 1 intend to sit
back and think things over before
I sign with any club"
All the players released must
wait Is days before accepting terms
with any club.
One of the most highly sought
players among the free agent group
doubtless will be Benny Mccoy,
rookie infielder, who played SIS
games for the Tigers last season
while Charley Gehringer was ailing.
Warren Giles, Cincinnati business
manager, said at his home there
that the Reds were interested in
several of the players, especially
Mccoy and Cullenbine.
Mccoy is % years old, Cullenbine
Is and Trout "a.
Howell Is Set Adrift.
One of the Detroit players re-
leased was Steve Rachunok, 20-year-
old pitcher who won 20 games with
Henderson of the East Texas League
last year. The other Tiger player
freed was Lloyd Dietz, 26-year-old
pitcher.
Among the minor leaguers turned
loose were Millard Dixie Howell,
Alabama's triple-threat football star
of few years ago, who belonged to
Beaumont: Martin Zachar, college
pitcher with Beaumont, and Stanley
Corbett, Fort Worth player who at
tended two Detroit spring training
camps.
The Detroit club has a staff of
nine full-time scouts, said to be the
largest such group in the big leagues.

Record Streak Ended,
Rangers in Battle
For Hockey Title
Beaten After 19 Comes
Without Defect, Team
Drops to Leod Tie
Bv the Associated Press.

oN lIlt ASooCldteu FIcSS.
The New York Rangers, one of the
best hockey teams to turn up in a
good many National League seasons
have set new record for not losing
games and have seen their record
streak come to an end.
Now they can settle down to the
business of beating out Boston and
Toronto for the league champion
ship, no easy job in itself.
The Rangers set their record Sat-
urday in defeating the Maple Leafs
Al, at Toronto for their 10Th con-
secutive game without a loss That
was as far as they could go, how
ever, for they took a 81 setback
from the Blackhawks at Chicago
last night and once more found
themselves tied with Boston for the
league lead.
Tottering for Some Time.
Their performances for several
games had heralded the end of that
streak, which surpassed by one
game the old National League mark
set by the Montreal Canadiens in
the 1928 season. They kept on
winning and playing to win
although there were five ties in the
earlier part Of the string. But each
time it seemed harder for them tc
get their scoring weapons unlim-
bered.
At Toronto it wasn't until the
third period that they could do any
important sniping, and at Chi
cago last night they were even less
effective against a sturdy defense
backed by Rookie" Paul Goodman
The goalie, who was brought up
from Providence to replace Mike
Karakas late in December, did a
job that earned him the cheers of
the crowd.
Hawks Lead All Way.
The Hawks led all the way. 1t
wasn't until late in the third period
that Goodman finally let shot get
past him. ALT Pike made that one
on a short pass from Clint Smith.
George Allen, aided by ex-Ranger
Joe Cooper and Bill Carse, sent
Chicago into the lead in the first
period of the rough-and-tumble
game. Gully Dahlstrom, with JEFF
Desilets' aid, made it 20 while New
York's Muzz Patrick was in the
penalty box in the third frame.
