Winter Trade WithBoston
And Indians Stems Feud

That's Boston stand on t h e
matter and Cleveland's side of the
story has not reached this sector
as yet. According to General Man
ager Eddie Collins, however, Yaw-
keys information was gilt-edged,
and as far as the Red Sox owner
is concerned his club and the In
dams have pf-fft!
Tom considered h e Indians
were giving us the run-around, +"
Collins explained When he heard
about Cleveland dickering with an
other club for players they expect
ed to get from us, he instructed
me to call Cleveland and tell them
the whole thing was Off
Collins explained Yawkey had no
objection to Cleveland doing what
ever it wished with the players
after the trade was made but
didn't like the idea of such ma
nlpulations' before the deal went
through.
Thus CLEVELAND lost one golden
opportunity to comb the temper
amental Bagby out of Lou Bou-
dreau's hair. Golden, particularly,
since the long suffering Joe Cronin
had manifested willingness to take
another chance with this most eff
fective hurler.
Instead, they have lost the
friendship of Tom Yawkey, who,
of late, has been showing lauda-
Bile desire for only a little encour-
agement to start throwing large,
coarse bundles of green stuf f
around,

BY STEVE O'LEARY

BOSTON, Dec. 10.-lR-Attempt
of the Boston Red Sox to fashion
a winter trade with the Cleveland
Indians have borne fruit-but it's
rothing but hard feelings between
the two clubs.
The sudden feud stemmed from
the discovery of owner Tom Yaw-
key that the Cleveland club al
ready was dickering with another
American league outfit with an Of
Ter to trade two of the several
Boston players it expected to get
in the Boston-Cleveland deal for
cutfielder Jeff Eeath and pitcher
Jim Bagby.
Yawkey still thinks he was had
on a couple of occasions in his
early career as a magnate when
he was pouring bundles of dough
into the baseball bourse in his eff
forts to produce pennant win
ner for his newly acquired Boston
followers.
As soon as he learned of what
was going on in Cleveland, he call
ed the whole thing off yesterday,
apparently considerably ir k d
about being classed still in the
piscatorial category by some OF
his fellow magnates.
AS far as Yawkey is concerned
despite a sincere d e S re to
strengthen his forces this winter
he'll wind up in last place for
tire next decade rather than con-
slider doing business with the Clev
land club.

SPORTS TRAIL

enc club scouts the others will
scout.
Despite the fears of the operat-
ing clubs that they will be swamp
ed with ball players when the war
is over, we have an idea that the
situation will adjust itself more or
less. To begin with, the 16 cur
rently alternating leagues will
come out OF their caves overnight,
and with a probable sports boom
new leagues should sprout up.
Then too, lot of ball players
in the service Won't return to the
game. We doubt very much, for
instance, if Wen ever see Hank
Greenberg play again. Others in
their SOs with two or three years
of inactivity as far as baseball
is concerned won't consider it
worth the trouble to come back
and try to get year or two more
cut of baseball
The major league clubs probably
figure that angle too IN continuing
to pry around the sandlots and
hold tryout camps. The kid pros
poets they uncover, and the young
er the better. will be at a ripe
age for league ball when they re-
turn from the wars. Besides, some
If them might be 4-f'ers who could
be used right now.
We don't recall how the problem
Of returning players was solved
after the first world war, but 1t
undoubtedly wasn't a very knotty
problem. Farm systems weren't
t.eing operated as they are now,
and each club primarily was con-
cerned with itself alone, and not
a dozen subsidiaries.
And speaking of farm systems,
we have an idea they will be more
extensive than ever, as the majors
will organize or take over clubs
to take care of the expected sur
plus of returning players.
So the major clubs continue to
hire scouting stats to sign up
more young fellows who soon will
be in the army and who will be
just that many more players to
very about when it is all over.

Of Baseball" Near

Cleveland, Feb. 3 (UP) -
President Alva Bradley Of the
Cleveland Indians predicted the end
of Big League baseball for the dur
alton today If players with defer
ments because Of dependents are
reclassified and called into the arm
ed services.
1T would be a waste Of time and
money for club owners to attempt
to carry OH with the material left
over" he said. you can't give the
fans their moneys worth Of enter
tainment by using players who are
physically unfit or over SO years
old"
II believe baseball should go Just
as far as 1t can to provide enter
tainment and relaxation but not at
the expense of depriving war indus
tries Of necessary manpower," he
declared.
Bradley said that the principal
thing now Is to win the war 80
If baseball interferes with the big
Job ahead, 1t should be discontinued.
