Mats Outlook Gloomy
For Landing Talent I
In Major Trades
BY JOHN b. KELLER,
Star Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 80. - Clark
Griffith and others of the Washing
ton clubs Ways and Means Commit
tee attending baseball's winter meet
ing here got down to the serious
business OF recruiting material for
the Mats Immediately after arrival
here today, but looked for no i'm
mediate results.
This was the big day for the minor
leagues at the conclaves. Each one
of the Washington group had his
particular assignment. Manager
Ossie Bluege and the club president
looked after major prospects while
Cal Griffith and Scout Joe Cambria
quizzed the little league owners.
Secretary Eddie Eynon kept close
tab on all proceedings.
All any Of the committee got,
however, were promises to listen to
propositions after the minors got rid
of business of their own.
Little Seen In Minors.
The Mats are in the market for
that looks worthwhile,
especially a right-hand hitting
catcher and an infielder who might
be able to handle himself we'll
around second base. But from what
the minors who are disposed to con-
slider any deals say. there is nothing
in sight along these lines.
Griffith himself feels that he got
about the best possible from the
minors last fall when he plucked
Gilberto Torres, pitcher, and
Charley Roberts. shortstop, from
Montgomery of the Southern Asso-
citation. According to him, there's
nothing around to compare with
them.
However, he and Cal were to sit In
at the Piedmont League session late
today to protect the interests of
the Mats Charlotte farm, so somc-
thing may come of it.
AS to getting anything from the
majors, the situation is gloomy
Now that the draft is cutting into
big-league ranks once more. the
major clubs don't even want to talk
about deals. With veteran players
we'll up in years apparently subject
to early selection for military serv-
ice the big fellows are scared plenty
Sessions to Keep Griff Busy.
Griffith will be busy the next
three days with meetings-the
American League holds its sessions
tomorrow and Thursday and will
join the National League on Friday
in a conclave with Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Lands. This
will slow trade discussions.
The Washington president has q
vital interest in these sessions fol
he wants more night baseball fol
his Mats at home next year and
most of the other owners appear
ready to give him a hot battle. He
also wants say in the fight to raise
club player limits from 25 to 80 ir
the summer and 40 to so in the
winter

Frosh, 4th Year Gridmen, 1912
Choice on AlI-Big Ten Eleven

Graham, Butkovich and Daley in
the backfeld, is the first freshman
ever to appear on this annual honor
group because this is the first season
that yearlings have been eligible for
the Big Ten play.
Daley had played three years at
Minnesota before being transferred
to Michigan's W. unit last summer
so this made his fourth season on
Big Ten gridirons. Incidentally, two
years ago as Gopher junior, he
rated this all-star team, but failed
to repeat in 1912 because he was
handicapped by injuries.
Negus Is Only Repeater.
Negus, the only repeater from the
1912 team, was Wisconsin's varsity
center then, but, like Daley. played
with Michigans Viz assemblage
this year.
Graham, brilliant performer for
Northwestern for three years, but
never previously named to the ALI
Conference team, received unan-
imous first team support from eight
coaches, the ninth not having seer
the VS. student perform this season
Five listed him as left halfback
and three as quarterback, so he
was placed at the former position
which moved Hoernschemeyer te
quarter.
Butkovich and Daley, too. were
virtually unanimous selections. AL.
though both are fullbacks, every
coach but one thought each deserved
a place on the honor team. anc
Daley received more designations as
a fullback. Neither player finished
the season. being transferred by the
Marines at the end of October.
Fifty-one players from eight OF
the nine footban-playing schools
drew votes. Michigan and Purdue
tied with 10 nominees apiece.

A War bond bowling boom is on the
way at Bethesda, which became ap-
parent when duckpin operators
joined with S. Walter Bogley, Mont
gomery County war finance chair
man, and representatives of The
Stars tournament last night at the
Bank of Bethesda in meeting rem
iniscent of that which started Silver
Spring on the way in its now famous
$l,000,000 Flying Fortress affair. The
same spirit of enterprise and opti-
mism was there.
Arville Ebersole, chairman of the
National BoWlers' Council and vice
chairman of the Bowlers' Victory
Legion, with national goal of $780,
100000 in bonds, today beamed his
reaction to the Bethesda parley as
did Banker Bogley.
Quickly Move Into Action.
Plans Immediately were made by
George w. Huguely, jr., and E. P.
Knollman, owners of the genuinely
palatial Bethesda Bowling Center,
and their manager, Frank Riley, and
by Henry Hiser, proprietor of two Be-
thesda maple plants plus a theater,
to stage special events to steam up
the campaign.
The bowlers' bond drive will run
from next Saturday through Janu-
AIRY 8, with all alleys in the Metro
politan Washington area participat-
ing.
Goal of the tournament is a fleet OF
warplanes. and Bethesda will aim
to purchase at least one, its duck
pin leaders said
At the Bethesda meeting the tour
nament committee settled an issue
which had worried duckpin op-
orators eager to make a big bond
showing. How to handicap bowlers
with no league averages was the

Construction to gain second place.
Despite Lucille Young's 137 and $50,
Garvin's Lucky Five dropped two
games to Spund's Market and
skidded to third place.
Jack Gooding with 139 and 1896
was the big shot as Judd & Det-

FIRST RAFT ALASKA AL0CS
 SOUTH
More than 10000 Feet Sent 10 States for
 War Effort

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. A large government logging project in Alaska to obtain spruce for planes was disclosed here with the announcement that a raft of more than 100000 feet of logs has safely reached Puget Sound from Alaska
 The Forest Service said the 900- mile trip was hampered by gales which forced the tow into the shelter of bays many times.
 The raft included few thou and feet of hemlock for experi- mental purposes. Thirty-three per- cent of the spruce is number one sAade which is above the estimates
 The project was launched last June to supplement insufficient production in Oregon and Wash ington for meeting war needs.
 Regional Forester B. Frank Beintzlaman is supervising the overall project with Assistant Re- gional Forester Charles G. Burdick directly in charge. Burdick has been in Seattle for some time where a branch office of the Ju- neau headquarters of the Forest service for this region has been established.
 The logs are being taken from the west coast of Prince of Wales Island where a number of camps have bpen established.
