"A Tie
Veteran Defenseman
Wipes Out Lead
Held by Windsor
BY VI. i. DRUKENBROD

Rudy Zunich. 81 year. old de-
( ifenseman for the Paris club in the
Michigan Ontario Hockey League,
can do some of the durndest
things on skates.
He demonstrated this again last
might at Olympia, and in doing so
turned what looked like certain
defeat for the Detroiters into a
i4-4 tie with Windsor Spitfires.
He got the tying goal with less
than six minutes OF the third pc
rlod remaining on one Of the most
spectacular individual perfo rm-
anceS witnessed here in some time.
Streaking in from the right he
split the Windsor defense, but as
he passed in front of the net could
not quite get the puck on his
stick for a shot 1t looked as if
he were through-another pretty
rush gone to waste.
But he quickly turned around,
got his balance-and let fly with
a high hard one from a difficult
angle which found It's mark.
IT'S HIS SECOND
Zunich got his chance TO tie II
up because Joe Levine. another
puckman who has been playing
on Art McDermott's clubs off and
on for quite a spell. scored four
minutes earlier 10 reduce Wind

"But," added Griffith,
"baseball men should not get
panicky about the war. If the
policy of the government of
the first World War is used
as a precedent, those in
charge at Washington will
likely want baseball to con-
tinue as long as possible so

Tigers Confer
With White Sox
And Senators
Bueky Harris Offers
Cash for Campbell;
Detroit Wants Players
By LEO MACDoNELL

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-With the
professional baseball picture un-
certain, representatives OF the
American and National Leagues
today were to plunge into their
forty-first meeting.
The rival loops were to meet
separately today and tomorrow
and in joint session Thursday.
At the joint meet they expected
to hear Judge K. M. Lands views
on baseball and its relations to
war. Clark Griffith, Connie Mack
and other veterans were expected
to counsel younger magnates
against getting panicky. They
were expected to recall for their
colleagues that baseball continued
for nearly two years after the
start of the first World War.
While there was a lot of "On the
eve" talk of probable trades in
the National League involving,
among others, the Giants, Dodgers
and Cardinals, little of Importance
had developed in the pre-meetings
conferences. One report had 1t
that Dolph Camilli of Brooklyn
would be traded for Johnny Mize
of the Cardinals.
TIGERS NOT CLOSE
At this writing the Tigers were
mot even close to deal, despite
lot of long-winded talks with
Representatives of the White Sox
and Washington.
Jimmy Dykes wanted Bruce
Campbell but had nothing to give
/ that interested the Tigers. Bucky
Harris also would like to have
Campbell and made cash offer,
but the Tigers want players--not
sugar. Sugar is for coffee.
But Del Baker still had hopes
that he might do business with the
Red Sox or Indians. Joe Cronin
and Roger Peckinpaugh were be-
lated arrivals here.
The appointment of Gabby Hart
nett as playing manager at In
dianapolis and the sale of Julius
! (Moose) Solters from the White
Sox to st. Paul were mildly inter-
esting developments yesterday.
And Rollie Hemsley came to town
and signed Cincinnati contract.
The Indians sold the veteran
catcher to the Reds at Jackson
willie.
i While it was inevitable that
IHemsley, an active candidate for
Lou Boudreau's job as manager,
was to go, the American League
loses a colorful character in Roll
lies return to the National. his
first love in the majors. Rollie was
waived out Of the older circuit
back in 1893 and since was out
standing as a receiver for both the
Browns and Indians.
Back in 1885 Mickey Cochrane,
then manager of the Tigers, tried
to buy Hemsley from the Browns.
'lThat year Cochrane directed the
american League team in the ALI
Star game and Mickey picked
Hemsley to catch the American
Leaguers. Rollie repaid Cochrane's
judgement with a triple as well
as well-caught game.

ANN ARBOR, Dec. 9.-Four re-

of promising sophomores form the
basis for Bennie Oosterbsan's
hopes that his 1941-42 Michigan
basketball team, which meets
Michigan State here Saturday in
its season opener, will improve on
last years unimpressive record.

Reds Reodjust
Their Lineup for
PennQnt Dash

AS an upshot OF the deal several
other clubs may try to patch up
weak spots before the major league
trading deadline Sunday midnight
With a two-game lead despite a
bad run of injuries, the Cardinals
aren't likely to make any ihanges.
If they have to plug any gaps they
are likely to go their own farm clubs
for help
The Yankees have gone shopping
for a pitcher but have about given
up hope of landing one. They have
propositioned Clark Griffith of the
Senators about Leonard, Hudson
or Chase but the negotiations up
to now haven't been favorable.
Cleveland, enjoying a four-game
lead over the Yanks, probably will
make their bid with what they
have. Their strength is in pitching
and defense and they aren't likely
to weaken it to get more power.
Two brilliantly pitched games
featured yesterdays National league
play. Big Paul Derringer hurled the
Reds to a 10 Shutout over the
Braves, beating Art Johnson, Rookie
southpaw. Derringcr yielded four
hits and famed six in winning his
sixth game.
King Carl Hubbell notched his
fourth victory by pitching the Gil
ants to 20 victory over the Cubs.
Hubbell allowed eight hits to Bill
Lees six but pitched his way out
OF several tight spots.
After losing seven straight to De-
troit this season, the Athletics stag
ed a ninth inning rally to beat
the Tigers, 53. The victory also
broke the AS 6-gamc losing streak
The Red Sox nosed out the
Browns, 80, on Ted Williams 18th
homer with mate or base, to gain
an even break with ST. Louis, which
won the opener, 9-4.
Joe DiMaggio clouted his 18th
homer of the year III the 10th in
ming last night to give the Yankees
a disputed 80 triumph over the
White Sox before a throng of 37,lO2
at Comiskey Park.

The 26-year-old pitcher issued a
