But once more Dame Fortune smiled on Mike. Hardly had the trade cooled off when there came another announce- ment that McNally had been sent by Boston to Washington, In two jumps Mike went from a near chump to a near tailender, then back to a world champions. Realizing his club was weak in infield substitutes, Manager Harris put over the deal for McNally, who is a corking good man in the field but just a fair hitter. McNally has been with four world series clubs and has had a cut of second-place money besides. That is sure getting the breaks for a mere substitute infielder. The American Association, in de- ciding to number the baseball play- has shown itself to be a pro- gressive organization, Sooner or later’ the majors and other minors will follow suit, for it is a custom that is certain to fieet with the approval of the spec- tators. The players will be numbered much after the manner of the col- lege football players. Numbering the players has tended to fopularize the gridiron game. . Often there are many new players. on the field in a major league game and even the dyed-in-the-wool fan only knows part of them. Under the numbering system it will be possible for any one to sat- ify his curiosity as to a player's mame by merely noting the number ahd referring to his score card. YANKS MAY SEND a WARD TO SHORT New York, Dec. 27—Manager Mill- ér. Huggins of the Yanks frankly ad- thits. that shertstop is his greatest ever seon in the major leagues. Innis was at his best when both he and Collins were with the Athletics. BASEBALL’S GREATEST OUTFIELDER Presenting Charley Jamieson, Star of Cleve- ndians land I Wi Charley Jamieson of the the American ‘League. He BY BILLY EVANS In baseball stars at any one par- ticular position seem to run in cy- cles. For instance those two remarkable outfielders, Ty Cobb and Tris Speak- er, broke into the ne about the same time. Both Cobb and Speaker have pass- ed the peak of their game. In the role of manager, they now seek to win new laurels as their ability ebbs. With Cobb and Speaker going the other way, Charley Jamieson of the Cleveland ‘club stands out as the premier gardener of the American League if not the majors. It is an interesting fact that Jamieson did not measure up to stardom until Speaker manager of the Cleveland club began to play alongside of him. Has Style of Speaker Watching Jamieson going after a fly ball one can see the style of Speaker in almost every movement. There is grace, racy and con- fidence in his play. The career of Jamieson in the Am- erican League reads not unlike fic- tion, His success is a tribute to energy, ambition and courage.

Mack Makes Shift Washington finally decided that as a pitcher Jamieson would never make the grade. Connie Mack, then floundering around in last place, in need. ,of ball players, was willing to take a chance. Mack soon reached the same de- Washington relative to Jamieson’s pitching ability. How- ever, Mack saw that Jamieson had ability as an outfielder and that he looked fairly good at the bat against right-handed pitching. Used substitute outfielder, Jamieson went along with varying success af a member of the Athlet- ies. Then came a trade that brought him to Cleveland, Playing alongside Speaker, Jamie- son immediately started to improve in all departments of play under the tutelage of the master outfielder. Today Jamieson is just about the asa last. word as un outfielder, while at the plate he mixes them up in |the most approved style. In plain words, he’s a real star. Sheely Without Peer First Base, Say By NEA Service Philadelphia, Dec. 27.—Eddie Col- lins, famous second sacker of the Chicago White Sox, says that Earl Sheely is the best receiver of a thrown ball at first base he has This is quite a compliment when it is considered that “Stuffy” Me- Likewise, Hal Chase was a mem- ber of the Chicago White Sox with Collins, before jumping to the Fed- eral League. “It is almost impossible to throw in Taking Throw at s Eddie Collins a ball over Sheely’s head,” says Col- lins, “Several inches better than six feet plus a long pair of arms, makes it easy for him to handle throws that would be impossible for a first baseman of average size. “Despite his size he is without a peer in digging a low throw out of the dirt. His ability to glove balls, thrown into a runner, is uncanny. “I doubt if there ever was a more valuable man at first’ base in the majors, yet he has received no great publicity for his remarkable play. Perhaps that is because of the ease with which he does his work.” easy outs 10 years back. Scott can’t go on forever and no one realizes it better than Huggins. Should the Yanks be unabie to get a man to replace Scott, it is possible that Second Baseman Ward will be shifted’ to that position. It is also possible that Scott might be used to advantage at second. Shortstop “Rabbit” Maranville, shift- @d to second by Pittsburg last ‘sea- son, was one of the most valuable players in the league at that position. Only the fact that Ward is not keen for playing short, much pre- ferring second, has kept Huggins from trying out the scheme, HUGGINS TOUTS RECRUIT SURE FIRE PITCHER By NEA Service New York, Dec. 27.—While Miller Huggins of the New York Americans realizes his pitching is slipping, he isn’t as worried as it might seem. Of his veterans, Jones, Pennock and Hoyt, should be consistent win- rey. while the veteran Everett Seott stili handles every drive that he can feach in his usual flawless style, he has slowed up a couple of steps in: the field. Many balls that got by him 1 egnpes. a8 base hits would have been ners. The veterans, Shawkey and Bush, are doubtful. However, Huggins feels that in Walter Beall he has just the man needed to bolster up his staff. Beall, a husky right hander,” secur- month of the season. His best effort was striking out 10 Athletic players in seven innings, He is being banked on as a regular by the mite manager of the Yanks. HANDS IN GOOD SHAPE Paul Berlenbach, who won much publicity as a knockout artist last winter, is about ready for another strenuous campaign. He says his hands are as good as ever.

The failure of the magnates to investigate the O’Connell-Dolan baseball scandal was a big surprise. : It was if you are easily sur- prised. In connection with all the reforms introduced in baseball by Ty Cobb, we'd like to know if he was ali the first player to shout, “I have it Old Pop Geers was even more human than the world ever imagin- ed. The records show he was once fined for loafing. A French boxer has been expelled for laying down. The French were always quick to copy American customs. The tennis officials have voted that Mr. Tilden may accept $10,000 for his newspaper writings and still be an amateur. . We insist, how- ever, there is nothing amateurish about a $10,000 check. We see by the papers department stores are putting on extra help for the holidays, and we suppose boot- leggers are doing the same thing. Mr. O’Goofty doesn’t know what he will get for Christmas this yéar but suspects it will either be a flask or a tie.

At least Kid McCoy’s cruelty as a fighter did not extend to the spec- tators, who usually saw a fight that was a fight. PROBE MURDER ON FT. TOTTEN RESERV ATON Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. , 27.—Inz vestigation by Coroner L. Schultz of Benson county into the murder and suicide of Gabel Gord and his squaw, Indians on Fort Totten reserva- tion near here, shows that Gord shot his squaw twice with a shotgun, the first time from the door of a hut and the second time from a window. The first shot pierced her abdomen, and indications are that the woman, after the first shot, had taken a few steps with her hands on her abdo- men, as the second shot shattered her hands. Gord committed suicide by shoot- ing himself with a shotgun, using a string to pull the trigger. His head was completely shot off. The shooting took place in the hut of Mrs. Gord’s mother-in-law, where the squaw had been living since she and her husband separated. The mother-in-law speaks only Sioux, and it was with much difficulty that information regarding the murder and suicide, which she witnessed, could be obtained from her. BALTIMORE WILL STAGE POPULAR POLO NEXT YEAR Baltimore, Dec. 27.—Encouraged by attendances running into the thousands at polo games played at Pikesville, a suburb, last summer, the organization of a polo _associ- ation to embrace seven teams in the vicinity of Baltimore has been be- gun by persons interested in the game. Teams already in the field are those of the Sixth Field Artillery, Fort Hoyle; Third Corps Area Head- quarters, Baltimore; the 110th Field Artillery, Pikesville, and the 62nd Cavalry Division, 0. R.

The $100,000,000 increase, bankers and business men said today is one of many concrete evidences of the new prosperity that has come to the northwest area from the sale of its high-priced grain crop. Among these evidences there were included: Recordbreaking deposits in Minnea- polis banks, e in- than | A new postwar low point in ac- commodations to member banks by the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. A high tide of demand for invest- ment securities of good type by banks and investors generally. Approximation of $4,000,000,000 in Minneapolis bank cleatings. Continued firmness in the grain market, which is estimated at the Chamber of Commerce still to yield an additional $100,000,000 to north- west farmers in return for sale of the marketable grain still in ‘their ownership. A more than $17,000,000 gain in deposits of Minnesota state banks over the last call. Continued additions to reserves of country banks with their Minneapolis correspondent banks, along with a re- duction in loans by these correspon- dent banks, have swelled deposits in Minneapolis beyond the record fig- ure of $319,00,000 returned on the last bank call, Minneapolis bankers pointed out. This additional money has come from the crop marketed since the last call, which has found its way into the banks as deposits and has not been sent out of the area_in any great quantity in pay- ment of goods purchased, Discounted Bills Total $4,000,000 The last statement of the Minnea- polis Federal Reserve shows bills dis counted as little more than $4,000,- 000, the lowest point since the Unit- ed States entered the world war. Heads of bond houses declared this new money in the area, which is not having any great outlet in loans to bank customers, is seeking the invest- ment market. Only in 1920 have bank clearin been larger to date for the year t in 1924, according to the Minneapolis Clearing House Association. In that year they passed the $4,000,000,000 mark by $12,000,000, and today they are close to this mark and threaten- ing in the next few days to pass the 1920 total figure. Grain receipts at Minneapolis are the big factor in the figure. Despite a record high percentage of the crop having been yarketed at this time, the amount remaining in the country still compares favorably with most other years, grain men pointed out, simply because of the extent of this year’s bushelage, grain men said. Fully $100,000,000 more will be received yet by farmers for grain which they own and have for sale, it was estimated. The monthly review of the North- western National Bank today showed cash resources of the banks of Wis- consin, Minnesota, North and South Bakota and Wisconsin have increased 26 per cent, or $100,000,000 in th last year. Conspicuous in the course of bank- ing in the Northwest has been the in- crease in quickly available resources held by banks in the aggregate, such resources being cash in vaults, checks in process of collection, reserves held with the Federal Reserve banks and funds on deposit with correspondent banks,” the review continyed, Rise $511,980,000 Since Last Fall In one years’ timg such assets, the most liquid of all resources, have in- creased 26 per cent in the five North- west states. Since the fall of last year these funds have increased from $407,644,000 to $511,980,000. The per- centage of advance has been most marked in North Dakota, where high- ly liquid resources have increased 44 per cent in one yeas time; in Minn- esota the percentage is 33, and in Montana 30. Greatest dollar ad- vances are naturally to be found in Minnesota and Wisconsin; where banks are older and larger, as a rule, than farther west, and where agri- cultural deflation was not so severe- ly felt. “Another outstanding development in the year’s banking has been the larger accumulation of secondary re- serves—investments, that is, in such securities as bonds and stocks, and government issues of various kinds. “To summarize : While northwest banks as a whole have increased their deposits during the past year, their loans and discounts have been de- in securities, or holdings of second- ary reserves, have increased 14 per cent; immediately available means, the most liquid of reserves, have in- creased 26 per cent and borrowings by banks have been reduced 55 per cent.” News of Our Neighbors !
