BIG LEAGUE CHIEFS SETTLE DOWN TO PLAYER TRADES
TERRY STARTS
BALL ROLLING
Lindstrom Sent to Pirate*
In Three-Cornered
Deal
*
NEW YORK. Dec. 13. .^—Inspir
ed by the first big player deal of
the annual conclaves, the magnates
of the American and National lea
gues settled down today to three
solid days of barter, lobby lounging,
and serious efofrts to prune the
baseball business of all unnecessary
expense.
In every corner of the major lea
gue hotel headquarters, behind clos
ed doors, on lobby settees, In fact
anywhere that two rival managers
could find space to argue, bidding
for talent broke out afresh at the
example set by Bill Terry, young
manager of the New York Giants
Bill vowed, soon after he took
the reins from the hands of John
McGraw last season. that he'd
trade every man on the club if he
got the chance—and the opposition
}s giving him a chance to make that
threat, or promise, eood.
Thrff-M*y Deal
Last night he sent Freddy Lind
strom. a (mark center fielder, to the
Pittsburgh Pirate* in a three-cor
n« red deal that also involved th
Phillies and changed, in all. the
residences of five ball platers.
In exchange for Lindstrom and
Chick Fillis. a substitute outfielder
who moves on to Philadelphia, the
Giants received Glenn Spencer, a
voting right handed pitcher from
the Pirates, and George Davis a
fine outfield prospect from the
Phillies.
To balance the third corner of tire
trade the pirates sent Gus Dugas.
21-year-old outfielder, and a sum
of cash not announced, to the Phil
lies. All the players involved are
right handers with the exception of
Dugas, a southpaw slugger who
came to the Pirates last year after
clouting .419 with Kansas City and
hit .237 in 55 games, mostly as a
pinch hitter.
To the mind of the experts as
sembled in great numbers for the
annual meetings. Terry’s second big
swan of the off-season gives the
Pirates just about the strongest
outfield in the National league in
the two left handed Winer broth
q Paul and Lloyd, and the right
A ted I indstrom, and materially
JPlL. nres their chances of dethron
ing the championship Cubs.
Fred Not Happy?
Freddy, in eight years with th*’
Giant*, first as a star at third base
and then in center field, has hit
an average of 325 despite a drop to
.270 last season. He hit his peak in
1930 when he set up a clouting mark
of .379.
For some time there have been
rumors, however, that the Giant
star was not happy in his old sur
roundings. and the trade lends cred
ence to some of the stories circulat
ed after John McGraw stepped
down as the Giant's manager. Terry
stepped up. and Lindstrom’s work
began to fall off.
At that time it was said that
Lindstrom had been promised the
past as manager of the Giants in
the event that McGraw resigned,
and that despite the fact that
Terry was one of his closest friends,
a teammate in the minors at Toledo,
he could not get over his disap
pointment.
Rumors jiersisted that he would be
traded at the first opportunity the
Giants had to receive his equal in
value
Davis, who probably will take over
Lmdstroms placp in center field, is
2R years old. a New York university
graduate who came uo to the Phil
lies only last year after a sensation
al season with St Paul in the Amer
ican association He proved a steadv
hitter, hatting 309 In 137 games,
and a fa*t. sure fielder He stole
16 base*, fast for the National lea
gue. and 39 of his hits were doub
les.
Fair Record
The record of Spencer in two
years with the Pirates is just fair.
He is only 26 years old and in 1911
won II games while losing 12 Last
season he won four and lost eight,
mes h- as a relief pitcher.
Fullis. with the Giants four vears.
has never achieved the status of a
regular. He is 28 years old. averaged
.305 at bat for four years, and hit
.298 in 96 games last season.

name of Mickey Walker will be

GRID DEFENSE !
IS EXPLAINED
'
Michigan's Famous Plays
Against Offense
Revealed
ANN ARBOR Mich . Dec 13 T —
The Michigan defense often Is a
topic for conversation among foot
ball fans, but few of them know
how It is organized and why i*
usually brings results, coach Hardv
Kipke's answer is that Michigan's
defense really is an attack, with
plays called by the center instead
of the quarterback.
When opponents have the ball.
Wolverine Linemen may open a hole
for the Michigan fullback to charge
through The difference is that in
stead of toting a pigskin, the full
back goes through to make a tackle
or block a punt. The defense has a
big advantage opening holes—they
are allowed to use their hands.
Sometimes the fullback stays back
to guard against forward passes an 1
the renter goes in. or an md rushes
while the barks cover. It depends on
what defensive signal is called by
the center.
Plays Explained
Chuck Bernard was tlip key mm
of the Michigan defense thus fall,
and according to Kipke. deserved a
urea! deal of credit for the maize
and blue record.
The Michigan eleven was equip
ped with seven different plays for
use against punts. On number one
the left tackle opened a hole for the
left end by pulling the iirst block
er out of the way. The left guard
charged through and took out the
second blocker, so the end could get
into the “alley" down which the
ball must travel it was kicked
end through to the punter, with the
end through to the pnnter, with the
right tackle pulling the blocker to
one side. Capt. Ivy Williamson
blocked a Princeton punt on this
play, and Bernard scored Michi
gan's first touchdown.
When Bernard called for number
three on punt defense, it meant
that the Michigan fullback was to
charge through center. Bernard 1
pulled the opnosing center to one
side, and the Wolverine right giia^d
pulled the opposing left guard the
other way. Michigan used a seven
man line on this play.
Light Man Line
Number four punt defen.se play
sent the fullback Just outside the
offensive right tackle, with Michi
gan’s 1: ft tackle and left end tak
ing out the punter’s protectors. On
number five, the center went
through outeide the offensive left
tackle. With Michigan's right end
and right tackle clearing his path
An eight-man line with evey man
rushing in was number six. This
play was used when it was certain
the opponents would punt. Michi
gan's number seven signal was an
order for every man in the line to
olork to prevent opposing ends and
cackles from going down under the
punt, no attempt being made to
block the kick This was designed
to help the Michigan safety man
get started on a runback,
Kipke points out that the punt
blocking plays may not be 100 per
cent successful very often, but the
usual result is shorter and less well
directed spirals by opposing backs.
