PITTSBURGH, Feb. 3.-William
E. Benswanger, president of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, hung out the
welcome sign today and admitted
he had batch of players he'd like
to swap for a good infielder.
At the same time he warned the
National League his Bucs aren't in
the mood to stand for any kicking
around this year.

club will be a different outfit than
it was last year." he declared. Il
don't say We'll win the pennant, but
you can bet that new overcoat we'll
have winning club"
Seeks Trade in New York.
BensWanger left today for New
York and the baseball writers din
ner and made no secret of the fact
that he hoped to bump into an
attractive trade. He said:
What we need right now is a
good infielder. Not that last years
combination is washed up-but you
can't expect the same players to
last through the season without a
little relief. That would be like
throwing away your insurance
policy because you never had an
accident"
The Pirates offered Benny Mccoy
$4,000 to play second base but Con-
ME Macks Athletics won out in the
bidding.
Benswanger said he had plenty OF
trading material at hand with the
roster listing about 10 outfelders, 5
catchers and more than a dozen
pitchers.

Aposto|i Into
Retirement
Sees Win Over Conn
After Putting Fred
In Hospital
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3-They all
stay too long in the fight game.
Fred Apostoli, the San Francisco
bellhop who once was considered
the best boxer in the world, pound
for pound, must know it today as
he lies on cot at Polytechnic Hos
pital across the street from Madison
Square Garden.
He was a rugged confident gladia-
tor, former middleweight champion,
when he climbed into the ring last
night for a 15-round duel with
Melio Bettina of Beacon, N. Y.
Around the ringside, folks whis-
pered he looked in the best condi-
ton of his meteoric 4-year career.
When the gong Changed on the
18th round, he was a shambles,
staggering, unable to find his cor
ner.
Pilot to Retire Apostoli.
The bout couldn't have gone
farther-Referee Arthur Donovan,
Manager Larry White and the
crowd of 10000 all made up their
minds at the same time. And
White also decided Apostoli
wouldn't go any farther on any
other date.
But for Bettina, the southpaw
slugger who held the light-heavy-
weight championship briefly be-
tween the reigns of John Henry
Lewis and Billy Conn, it was a diff
ferent story.
Weighing l73 pounds. 214 more
than his foe. Bettina paced himself
better than ever before and lncom-
parably better than last month,
when the same Apostoli took a dis
puted decision from him in this
same ring. He dominated of
the II rounds and belted his foe
into a helpless, pitiful pulp.
Will Beat Conn, Says Victor.
Il could have gone Is rounds to-
night he gasped gleefully after
ward. Il found myself. l don't
wanta boast, but III knock Conn
bow-legged when I meet him again.
That was the purpose OF the bout,
to find an opponent for Conn in
another ight-heavy title test.
On a table in another room,
Apostoli lay moaning. I'm sick.
Sick as a dog. l can't breathe
A doctor found Apostol suffering
only from shock and nervous strain
and ordered him to the hospital to
rest. This morning the 26-year- old
Californian's ailment was diagnosed
as a mild case of grippe, with no
conclusion.

Redraft Of Baseball
Rules Delayed by
National League
Horridee Says Revision
Was Asked by A. L. at
December Meeting
BY TOM SILER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, Feb 3.-Mr. Ford
Frick, president of the National
League, said few days ago that he
favored a complete revision of base
ball rules, so that makes it unan-
imous.
Almost two months ago President
William Harridge of the American
League and Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands agreed on such a
move and asked the cooperation Of
the National League in the project.
Harridge revealed that the Amer
lean League recognized the need OF
revising and clarifying the rules at
the winter meeting in Cincinnati
in December. A resolution was
adopted calling for simplifying,
co-ordinating and consolidating into
one set of rules and regulations all
of the rules, regulations and amend
ments of prior years" Commis-
sioner Lands approved the idea at
the time.
Senior League Kept Quiet.
Harridge said the National League
was invited to cooperate in the
move by appointing committee of
three to work with similar Amer
ican League committee on drawing
up a revised set of rules.
But the National League never
acted on the resolution" Harridge
said. I'VE didn't hear any more
about it after turning the resolu-
ton over to the National League.
The resolution was never made
public until now. We thought we'd
say nothing about it for a while.
But thought I might as well re-
veal the American Leagues pre-
vious action when 1 noticed Mr..
Frick's comment few days ago on
the need of a co-ordinated set of
regulations"
The American Leagues idea at
that time was to have the two COM
mittees from the major leagues
make thorough study of the pres
ent code and make recommended
tions. Then Commissioner Lands
would be asked to call a special
joint meeting of the American and
National Leagues to hear the re-
port and act on it.
Attention has been focused in re-
cent weeks on the rules governing
the administrative side of baseball
by the commissioners frequent
manifestos and his condemnation
of farm systems.
