STORES TRANSFERRED
In the interim, vas quantities
of stores, including food supplies
for the Greeks, were conveyed
across he Mediterranean.
So much Australian frozen
oeef was shipped across that
adequate cold storage facilities
could not be found, and some
was released for sale to the
Greek civil population, who
welcomed it after months Of six
meatless days a week.
Many Of the supply conveys
and the troop conveys which fol-
lowed were attacked by planes,
but losses were remarkably
small. Italian aircraft were al
most entirely absent from these
ttacks, rejecting Italy's present
impotence In the Mediterranean,
the British say.
My trip across apparently was
typical. We set out from an
Egyptian port with heavily
laden British freishters, shadow
ed by q reconnaissance plane
which was out of sight but whose
drone was picked up by instru-
ments.

100 Pei. Pay Raise
Demanded by Riddle.
Reds Slab Star
Elmer Pitched to 1914
Record This Year for
About $1,000 SoIoY

By the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Dec. A.
Elmer Riddle jumped the holdout
season today and was reported put
ting the bee on the Cincinnati Reds
for a fat doubling of his l941 pay
check.
Riddle, who came to Cincinnati
from Birmingham in 1889, was the
pitching sensation of the National
League last season when he won 19
games and lost 4. establishing an
earned-run average of about 220.
The previous year he worked in Is
games as a relief pitcher, winning
one and losing two.
Elmer came here for the meeting
Of the National Association of Pro-
fessional Baseball Leagues and pre-
sumably swapped good mornings
with Business Manager Warren
Giles of the Reds and other 'front.'
office officials. The Reds didn t
speak of salaries. but Elmer's no.
tions were not secret. They ran to
five figures.
Riddles 1941 salary was not dis
closed, but baseball men estimated
it in the neighborhood of $4,000 or
$1,000. Riddle is expected to tell the
Reds management that it will take
just double the 1910 figure to get
his signature on a new contract.

Reds Take Hems|ey,
Catcher, From Tribe
In Cash Deal
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Dec. A.
The Cincinnati Reds bought Catcher
Rollie Hemsley from the Cleveland
Indians today in a straight cash
deal which was announced shortly
after daybreak.
The deal came as a complete sur
prise because there had been no
hint that the American League had
waived on Hemsley and none of the
Cincinnati officials had been seen
conferring with Cleveland.
HemSley, who has been considered
one of the leading catchers of the
major leagues. was with Cincinnati
in 1888 as one chapter in a long
and speckled baseball career
Apparently the deal was the first
step in move to smooth out tur-
bulent elements among the Indians
for the new manager. Lou Boudreau
Van Lingle Mungo. one time
pitching star of the Brooklyn Dodg
ers. and Catcher Angelo Giuliana
former Washington National. were
traded by the Montreal Royals OF
the International League to Min
neapolis of the American Associa
ton for left-handed pitcher, Joe
Hatten.
Evening star., 1941-12-04

sentatives of the two clubs had
wrangled nearly three hours over
terms of the transaction.
AS finally announced. the trade
called for the Giants to give not only
a right-handed hurler, but also a
sum of cash for the big blond out
fielder who has shown signs of being
one of the most dangerous sluggers
in the National League.
The money involved generally was
estimated at $4,000 but this was
in doubt because the Cubs went into
the conference repeatedly seeking
something like four times that
amount.
Leiber's Durability Doubtful
At one time Leibers value would
have been many times greater than
represented in this deal, but he will
be 80 years old next month and has
been hit on the head twice with
pitched balls-making his durability
doubtful.
Consequently. when the Cubs came
into the final stages of the dickering,
asking Bill tFiddler) MCGEE as the
pitcher whom the Giants should
place in barter. the New York club
rebelled and the argument that
ensued involved cash.
The battle was so stormy that at
one time the two groupS-President
Horace Stoneham. General Man.
ager Bill Terry and Manager Mel
OFT of the Giants and General
Manager Jim Gallagher and Clar-
ence Rowland of the Cubs-gave up.
They summoned newspapermen
into their rooms and announced the
deal was off. Then amidst the
clamor Stonenam suddenly de-
manded: where can we get an
other suite?" They moved into an
adjacent room and after more bitter
argument the deal was closed.
Weak at Bat This Year.
Leiber broke into the National
League in 1888 with the Giants and
became one of the outstanding out
fielders of the circuit. In his first
full season in 1885 he hit 331 and
batted in 107 runs. He lapSed into
the doldrums after that and Terry
traded him to Chicago after the
1888 season in deal that gave
Leiber, Dick Bartell and Gus Man
cuso for Frank Demaree, Billy
Jurges and Ken ODea.
Leiber hit 310 for the Cubs in
1899. and .302 in 1910. Then last
summer he was beaned by Cliff
Melton. Hank got back into the line
up late this season, but wound up
the year with m average Of ZIG
