NEWS0M TO AS
Washington Obtains Hurl-
er Wolff For Temp
Ornamental Bobo

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13-R-
The Athletics announced today
they have obtained Pitcher Buck
Newsom from the Washington
Senators in exchange for Pitcher
Roger Wolff.
No cash or additional players
were involved in the deal, said
the AS vice-president, Roy Mack.
The deal was contaminated by
telephone between Clark Griffith
in Washington and Connie Mack
in Frederick, Md, where the cid
er Mack was inspecting the Ath-
letics' spring training site.
Asked if he expected trouble
from temperamental Bobo the 80
year-old manager chuckled and
said:
Il think We'll get along just
fine. AS to Newsom's past I'm not
worrying about that. Instead I'm
figuring on what he is going to
do for us in the future"
The colorful, 34-year-old Newsom
is one of the most traded play
ers in, the major leagues, having
made three appearances each with
Washington and the St. Louis
Browns, two with the Brooklyn
Dodgers and one each with the
Chicago Cubs. Detroit Tigers and
Boston Red Sox.
He was prominent figure in
the Brooklyn Dodgers rebellion
against Manager Leo Durocher
last season, being traded to ST.
Louis and then, after being knock
ed out of the box nine times, was
sold to Washington for an unan-
nounced sum.
For the 1943 season his record
was four victories against nine
losses and an earned run aver
age of 5.S7. He gave up 107 hits
and 81 runs in 90 innings, striking
out 48 and walking Sc.
Married and the father of two
children, he's ga in the draft.
Wolff, r1ght-hanoed hluchle
ball artist, won 10 while losing
is for the AS last season. He join
ed the club in 1941, coming up
from Williamsport in the Eastern
League.
Married, 80 years old and IF,

Griffith said in Washington he
"hated to part with Newsom, who
won three and lost three for the
Senators during his brief stay
with the club last season.
But the veteran club owner
added, II like knuckle ballers and
that fellow Wolff is good. He did
well with tail end cub, whipping
the Yankees three times, and he
ought to do better with us.

The opening bout of the card is
to be a tiff between popular Pete

AL Massey. This bout is to have
no time limit on it. In their last
meeting the two gladiators battled

HAN0VERIANS GUN
FOR SECOND WIN
OF COURT SEASON
Contest To Be Played In
High School Gym
At 500

The New Hanover Wildcats will
be cunning for their second vic
tory of the young hoop season
when they tangle with the classy
Wilmington Air Base quintet to-
night. The contest is slated to be-
gin at 800 and is to be played in
the New Hanover gym.
1t is still impossible to discern
the actual potency of the high
school court outfit, but the Cats
displayed a versatile attack in
winning their initial engagement.
Not great deal is known of the
Air Base five, but it is reported
to be a speedy club studded with
numerous stars from other cage
teams. The schoolboy courtiers are
expected to be thoroughly tested
in this game as the experienced
Basers will be out to make
name for themselves in local hard
wood circles.
The Wildcats are expected to
employ practically the same type
offense that carried them to 49,
II win over the Kure Beach team.
Several men figure prominently
in the scoring attack of the Han
over club. Little Doug Pridgen,
the little set shot artist who turns
in fine performances from his
guard slot, is relied on as one of
the main Wildcat point gatherers.
Al Haircut Collie, a skilled
floorman with an abundance of
poise. heads the Wildcat ball hand
lers with his constant ball hawking
and accurate passing. 'Beak'
Tsantes, transfer student from
Pennsylvania who played bang up
ball in last weeks victory, will be
in the center position for the To-
Gals.
Lanky Harry Williams, foot
4 inch senior, will run in the for
ward spot and James Groom or
Mickey Kelly will round out the
high school lineup by manning the
guard position as a running mate
to Pridgen.
The New Hanover High School
Jr. Varsity will play a YMCA
team at 7:15.

So they quite naturally decided that
he was still standing before their
door, trying to trick them into stick
ing their noses out when he'd be
ready to pounce on them. But he
had tricked them in another way.
What he had actually done was
remove his boots, set them down
gently and hurry in his socked feet
to the kitchen, get the hand-ax and
return. The next thing they heard
was his voice, at once angry and
mocking.
