more clubs will settle down in earnest
to make swaps or purchase players, and

Cardinals have put Rogers Hornsby on
the market after two or more years of
turning down fabulous offers for tha
player. Hornsby, it is said, can be had
today for $150,000, or the equivalent in
playing talent.
Time was when the New York Giants
would have Jumped at this offer. Man
ager McGraw Is said to have offered
nearly a quarter of a million dollars for
Hornsby at one time last summer. Dur
ing the recent baseball conclave here it
was rumored that New York had pur
chased Hornsby, but McGraw denied if,
and Secretary Joseph O'Brien reiterated
the denial today wnea the rumor
cropped up again.
The Giants are still after Heinie Groh
of the Reds. They have offered $150,000
for the crack third baseman and McGraw
still has hopes of landing him. Mean
while. the lteds are after Rabbit Maran
vllle of the Braves and the Pirates want

wbi<-h the infielders figure prominently |
will be consummated before the end of

Rudolph of the Braves, who has been .

Johnson automatically would restore

Cow Nearly Causes the
Invention of New Golf
Club by Stage Comedian
I Malcolm Duncan, who plays the part of
I lugubrious Austin Bevans, in Robert Mil
ton's comedy, "The Charm School," whl'h
i is the attraction at the Shubert-Murat
theater for six days beginning Monday,
' Dec. 27, with mutlnees Wednesday nnd
i Saturday, is Scotch both by birth aud
; instinct. He is strong for anything that
savors Bonnie Scotland and recently has
j taken to the "deadly” sport—that of
playing xrolf. He carries a foxy suit of
loud pattern; trick trousers that come
i to the knees, stockings that were built
for the fair sex and a cap which Sber
, lock Holmes, does the detecting act with.
When he drapes this outfit around him
self and gathers his armful of "shinnie
sticks,” he looks like an Andy Carnegie
j without a chin brush.
I.ast week at Pittsburgh, he engaged
a Scotch “pro” to “lamp a few of his
drives” before participating in a match
game with another “gent” dressed in
| the same funny scenery. It might be
fitting to state that it Is impossible to
play “gulf unless one is wrapped In
I the proper regalia.
Anyway, as Duncan stepped on the
fairway at the ninth hole; a cow strolled
: toward him and stood about or dozen
feet away calmly gazing at the come
dian's play. Duncan attempted to shoo
the milk-producer away and out of his
line of drive. 'Twas of no use. The
bovine must have been of Scotch breed
and wouldn’t shoo. The "pro” grabbed
i a driver and let loose a noise like a
i bag-pipe, but the cow dropped her head
j and her horns pointed toward the “pro’s”
front porch.
Duncan’s Scotch blood started to boil
at 110 and he spotted the pellet on an
ant hill. He made a wild swing nnd
topped the sphere, which rolled in the
direction of bossie. She picked it up,
clamped down on it with her teeth a
couple of times, then tossed it out Just
like a guy who's got a mouthful of wood
alcohol. The lopsided piece of gutta
percha was damaged beyond further use
and Duncan viewed it with chagrin.
Then he said to the “pro.”
“Sandy, suppose she had swallowed the
ball and I was playing a match game;
what would you do 5”
“Mon—Ye'd have to get a meat-ax
niblick,” said the “pro.”

HERMAN MADE
7-5 FAVORITE
Bantam Champ Is Believed
Better Than Recent Per
formances Show.
By HENRY FARRELL.
United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK. Dec. 21.—As a business
man, Pete Herman, the bantam king, is
a real champion. He's Just like Johnny
Kilbanc.
For several years they've been allowing
the fans to think they're about all in.
They Just win by a shade over a sec
ond-class man in a no-decision, affair.
They always appear before a packed
house of bugs who always figure that,
this time sure they're going to see the
title change hands.
This la one reason why Pete Herman,
although rated a "cheese” champion, is
a 7-to-5 choice over Joe Lynch, con
sidered the best boy of his weight in
the country for their championship bat
tle tomorrow night in Madison Square
Garden. The “wise” figure Herman has
been working “under cover, ’’ that he has
been making himself look poor and that
tomorrow night he will show himself a
real champion.
The squatty Italian must be/ confident
because If he's knocked out from under
the crown he’ll lose a big purse that mis
been put up for a fight in London with
Jimmy Wilde, the flyweight. champion,
on Jan. 14. Both boys completed their
training yesterday and were down to
weight, 118 pounds eight hours before
battle time.
New York, which regards the west
side tighter as an Idol, feels sure the t'tlo
will pass to a native non. He knocked
out Jack Sharkey, the toughest little
fellow in America, and If he gets oue of
his snappy rights over, Herman very
likely will go down.

The first of a series of informal lunch

The purpose of these meetings is to
bring the athletic boosters of ihe city
together two or three times earn month
so that they may talk over the amateur
athletic situation la the State and decide
on the course to be followed for the bet
terment of the game.
The Commercials didn’t have whui
might be called a i>oor string of luck last
night, quite a few of them connecting for
all the big totals possible. >
Coble of the Citizens Gas didn't have
much on a few more of ’em when he
kicked In for 205, 190 and 202.
The 231 fired by Mounce of the Inter-
State Cars was the best lone tally in
the lot.
Ball of the Indiana Bell Telephones
rang the bell only once with ins 216,
but ho was less than a half a dozen clubs

If you don't think Fields of the Bal
iards can hit them when he wants to,
just take a passing glance at his -ob,
170 and 20-1 scores.
Underwood and Garing, lead off and
anchor, respectively, of the Electric
Steels, went about as good as any of
the common shooters.
Albers of the Inter-States didn't get
a big lot in his first and second efforts,
but It was worth the money to see him
clip off that 226 for his closer.
Funk's 224 was the best game score
posted in the Manufacturers' League.
He shoots with the Midwest.
The speedy Kingans didn't have a
show with the National Autos until they
hit the stretch, then they got lucky and
won one.
Cope gave the Kingans plenty to work
with, but they couldn't catch on. Rass
mussen and King were there with the
feature stuff for the Nationals.

LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dec. 21.—Uncov

and defense compared with that used
against Butler In their opening game last
Friday, the Purdue Boiler Makers
rushed the Hose Poly net artists over

every Purdue man In uniform in the
contest and convinced the fans that some
of his subs are pushing his regulars
hard for thpir positions.
Although the contest was one of those
affairs In which then* is little roora for
a feature player. White and Treat stood
out la prominence for Purdue, while
Reinhart and Conover of Rose deserve
oven better mention. The Rose men, al
though fighting against great odds, kept
going all the time and scored twenty-six
of their team's thirty points.
The next game for the Purdue team
will be with the Em-Iloes at Indian

I £
Request That Players
Quit African Golf Is
Expected From Landis
CINCINNATI, Dec. 21.—1n order to
conform with Judge Landis’s strict views
against gambling in baseball it is like
ly that a rule will be passed this season
prohibiting the shooting of craps by the
players on any of the teams. The time
was when the athletes were satisfied to
while away their hours of leisure by in
dulging in a mild game of penny ante
or 10 ceDts limit.
But more recently there have been
a few players on nearly every club who
got the craps shooting habit and thought
nothing of rolling the bones for pretty
large sums.
There is no question that this big play
Is detrimental to the form of the athletes
on the field. It takes their minds off
their work, and the man who has a
long losing session is bound to worry
about it.
Manager Huggins of the Yankees re
gards craps-shooting as such a bad thing
for his players that last year he forbade
the use of the bones during the playing
season. It Is likely that all managers
will follow his example this year.
