Sensational Trades E
Pa i Moran Appears Headed
For Another Championship
Manager of Red:. Has Formidable Pitching Staff;!
Gleason and Huggin* Eager to Barter Players;'
?VicGraw Is Likely to Have Brand New Infield
By W. J. Macbeth
Holiday Week, usually the very quietest of the entire "hot stove"
season, developed the only big trade since the close of the last^ baseball
season. The Red Sox, which have figured in practically all of the big
trade? going on since Battling Harry Frazee bought the club, gave
infieider Maurice Shanrfbn and outfielder Robby Roth for pitcher Har.ry
Harper, thirdbaseman Eddie Foster and outfielder Mike Menoskey, with
the Washington club last year.
Now that the ice has been broken it would not be surprising if a
ti umber of sensational sales and trades daveloned in t.h_ verv near future.
There Is scarcely a club in either '
-i_jor league, outside the champion ?
T"eds and White Sox. that is satistied ;
?ith its east as it concluded the 1919 |
campaign. Even Gleason is not quite j
.atisfi.d -.. ith the Windy City bunch?I
the issue of the past world's series
aside?for his pitching s tal. is none too |
.secure for such a grueling run as i
characterized the American League j
truggle of the past year.
Pat Moran will have little occasion
to worry if his athletes are at all rea?
sonable. Mor?is with his wonderfully
balance staff of young pitcher. !
and good catchers, should be able to I
hold the fort successfully against any I
assault that may develop, unless one of
.is strongest rivals is able to develop
it least 25 per cent more driving power '
?'han that vith which they finished the
reason.
Youngsters Gain Confidence
cT.er. Ring, Ruether. Bressler and
Regan are all youngsters who have won
their 6purs and by the past successful
? atnpaign gained the necessary confi?
dence to cover up any chance slip on
fhe part of either of the veterans- Slim
Sallee and Ray Fisher. These last
mentioned, however, were so very good
ast year that they aie not likely to
"?ack badly before the end of another
.iff drive. Pat's team elsewhere
~hapes up well. The infield is especial
y formidable, and with Jake Daubert
;oing as he went last year is quite the
class of the National League.
It is possible Moran may have a lot
-f trouble signing up his players. But
'hat is only one of the many penalties
Tor championship succ?s.. World's
hampion athletes in particular learn to
value their services highly. But then,
?igain, with the rich prize money in
"ighv, the Cincinnati players are likely
to listen to reason in the end, especially
as Pat Moran is so popular with his
men.
There are three clubs in the National
League which figure to give the Reds
i rumble next year if their managers
?ire able to tinker them up a bit in
mots. The3e are New York, Chicago and
Pittsburgh.
McGraw should be able to .tart the
next season fortified in a department
hat _ovaloped the greatest weakness
in midseason of 1919?the battery de?
partment. Benton, Barnes. Nelif, Toney
and Douglas are five pitchers that ?should
-.lass with the very best of the game.
There are four high class catchers to
keep these twirlers on edge. Snyder and
Gon_a!?-3 are experienced and capable of
schooling the several young pitchers
on the side.
Several Infield Changes
McGraw announced before he went to
Cuba last time that ho expected some
?adical changes in his infield. He started
last season with an inner line that
-veraged more than thirty years of age.
This iniield began to crack at the same
' in.e about midseason. precipitated by
illness and injury. McGraw did not have
the reserve strength at hand to stop the
?ne.-i table.
It is 3aid McGraw is willing to clean
>'.ouse under certain conditions and line
?i."> an entirely new infield. George Kelly
made a great hit at first base during the
indisposition of Hal Chase, while Frank
Frisch promises to be able to hold down
_ome infield position in case of necessity.
It seems a foregone conclusion that
Heine Zimmerman has played his last
??ame in a Giant uniform. George Gib
won, the new manager of the E'ittsburgr.
Pirates, is anxious to obtain the Bron.\
idol and may be amenable to a trade

J30WDOLN COLLEGE has come

Maine Historical Society, which was
used sixty years ago in the first
game ever played between that col?

had won the game would doubtless
heve remained ever since in th?

Pekingese Show
Proceeds Will Go
To Girl Scouts
Officials of the Pekingese Club of
America are making preparations for
the annual dog show of the club, which
will be held this season at the Hotel
Plaza, on Monday, January 26. This
will be the twelfth specialty show of
the club. The first was held' in 1911,
when ninety-five dogs were shown, with
200 entries. One show was held in
1912, J91*-, 191.. 1S16 and 1938, and
two each in 1011, 1917 and 1919.
Last winter's show was the most
-uc;es.fu! ..taged by the club, the
large.it number of uogs :.248? Doing
shown, with the record number of en?
vies, 403. All of the winter .shows have
been held in the ballroom of the Plaza.
Following an announcement by Mrs.
Michael Van Buren, president of the
club, that the proceeds of this year's
show would go for the benefit of the
Girl Scouts, that organization has been
cooperating with the Pekingese Club
to make this season's affair a suc?
cess. The Girl Scouts will add the
proceed? of the show to the money
raised in the nation-wide drive for
members, leaders and fund.-.
Last year the proceeds of the show
were donated to the fund far "The
Fatherless Children of Franco." Girl
Scout3 will sell the catalogues at. the
show, taking the places of C_nie_e
girls who have officiated in this office
in other years. It is possible that
Chinese Girl Scouts, newly formed into
a troop, may be given this honor.
Mrs. Phillip Hunlock, of England, an
-.scellent judge of Pekingese dogs, will
come to this country to be the judge
of the show. Mrs. Hunlock's selection
as judge meets with the approval of
owners of dogs of this breed.

Revive Rumors That McMillan
May Play Football for Navy
Centre College Star Quarter- j
back Still Eligible to En?!
ter Annapolis institution \
Sp-oial Corrvsponrlrvte
.ANNAPOLIS. Md., Jan. 3.--Rumors
! that "Bo" McMillan, quarterback of the
Centre College football team and the
choice of Walter Camp for the posi
; tion on the all-America eleven, will
! enter the Naval Academy next spring
I and become a member of the navy foot
', b%ll squad are constantly heard here.
The report? started in New York
\ about the time of the Army-Navy foot?
ball game and were heard at the places
, where service people congregated.
They have been renewed, and it is
j understood here that McMillan wants
to enter the academy, as he is still
j young enough to do so.
The foundation for,the report ap?
pears to be several conversations which
j took place at different times between
I McMillan and Bill Ingram, who cap?
tained the naval eleven in 1918 and was
j one of Coach Gi'.mour Dobie's ?K.ist
ants last season. Ingram is from
southern Indiana and knows the Ken?
tucky player well. In fact, they usqd
to oppose each other ft) their high
schooi days.
Some years ago Ingram broached the
subject of entering the Naval Academy
to McMillan. The later stated he would
? An so if he could get an appointment.
j At a later meeting he told Ingram that
t he could get an appointment and In?
] riicatei) that he intended to accept it
j and take the examination for admis
! ?ion. The matter was talked about
i among tho football players and coaches
! and spread to the midshipman body.
When Centre College and McMillan
gained fame in the college football
I world laut fall tha report was reue wad
and came to its clima:: about the time
of the game against West Point.
Upon the whole, it seems unlikely
that. McMillan will come to the
academy. As nothing further has been '
heard in a definite way about his at?
tempting .0 enter, it is presumed that
he has determined to finish his course
at Cent.iv College and, naturally, to
play football.
The ma'.ter brings out the fact that
tho Naval Academy, chiefly on account
of its low ago. limit for entrance, has
never received a college player of
really groat reputation, while such have
been numerous at the Military Acad?
emy. Apparent exceptions are Hugh
Douglas and Jack Dalton, both backs
of the highest caliber; but both were
from institutions little known in ath?
letics, Douglas having played at the
J University of Tennessee and Dalton
j with the eleven of a small Missouri col
! lege.
.. On the other hand, the West Point
? squads have constantly been replen?
ished with players who have already
been broken in at other colleges and
j who have acquired u big reputation
| before becoming cadets. This is pos
; sible, as the minimum age of entrance
i at West Point is two years higher
than at Annapolis. Among these may
be mentioned Daly, Torn ey. (?raves
BunkT. D.o. Pullen, Hyatt, Oliphant
and McQuarrie.

the Military Academy after having

victories over the Navy, and who had
been captain of the Harvard team be

Wits With. Cobb

Catchers who are behind tli? plate
when Ty Cobb is batting have interest- I
ing times of it Ty makes it interest

always get the best of the attempts at !
"goat getting." Indeed, some of them .

where Ty's nanny lies, and miite fre?
quently it is captured. Kor instance, a
recent match of wits and skill in whicli
Hank Sevcreid, catcher for the Browns,
rather put it over on the Detroit .star.
When Ty came to hat in the first
inning Sevcreid, squatting behind the
plate, remarked gently that Tyrus did
not seem to be stealing so many bases
as in forme?- years. Cobb threw back
a genial retort to the effect that he
would stca.1 Sovereid's glove before the
game ended. Whereupon the wager
was made that he would or wouldn't.
Ty walked. Directly he reached first
base he waved to the St. Louis catcher
that, ho would e;o down. He tried it
do so and was killed, Scvereid t?j der?
ber.
In the third inning the Peach never
reached first, being thrown out by Ma
pel. But in the sixth he walked again
and; stole second standing up. He tried
to steal third and was thrown out,
Sevcreid to Austin.
Ty's hist time at bat came in the
, eighth. He hit safely to left field. It
was a legitimate single?nothing more.
! Eut Cobb rounded first like a ?rhosl
, and stretched the hit to a two-bugger
sliding beautifully under Gerber'.'
1 hand.
Then he waved again to Sevcrelc
; that he meant to steal third. Thi
! catcher called for a waste ball, bui
notwithstanding this Cobb tore foi
! third and made it. Seyereid in hii
haste to throw to that bag dropped tin
ball.
Tyrus guv?3 him a hearty laugh anc
heckonnd scornfully for Scvcreid'i
glove. Severeid said nothing, but sig
r.a'od for another wide one, whicli h?

gun to loom large at the No :.: .' . ? J
emy. Preliminary practice has be n
going on for several week*, bul ih#
work will begin in a regular waj ri- *
week, with a cutting down of the ftquaJi

Special interest is being shown i?
wrestling, swimming and boxing, with
smaller squads engaged in gymnastic?
and swimming, while basketball ai4
soccer, the teams in both of which are
well into their schedule, arc .showing j
steady improvement.
Boxing has been put on a definite]
basis by the selection of Midthipm.a
Edwin W. Schell, of Mount Pleasa.*,
Iowa, to captain and manage the teanf
during the year. This follows the first
official recognition of boxing ae a com?

The Navy has a magnetic boxing di?

candidates was answered with such a
rush that a speedy announcement va?
necessary that no more would be re?
ceived- About ninety responded, but the <
squad at the training table has been cud
to forty.
The training table for the wrestle m
has been started, forty men having been
given places. This is about half th#
original number of candidatea. While
the Navy team was not Vecognized as
the collegiate champion last year, as it
did not wrestle away from home, thera
is little doubt that it was one of the best
in the country. Not only did the Annap?
olis men win all of their five matches
easily, but they defeated Penn State.
intercollegiate champion, in every one of i
the seven bouts. Yale, Lehigh. Colum? (
bia and University of Pennsylvania were
also badly defeated.
The Naval Academy has joined the
Intercollegiate Wrestling Association,
and would have a team in the finals
this year except for the mile of the
association that a year must elapao
between the entry into the organisa?
tion and competition in the finals.
John Schutz, who has developed the
