Farrell NEW YORK, Dec. §-- Expressing a willingness to “Jo anything that will strengthen our clubs,” the lea minds of the two champion New York clubs wil! depart tomorrow for Chicago to listen to any offers made to im prove the two teams. It being accepted that no rival magnates of rational mind will be anxious to provide additional strength for already powerful clubs, it is almost a cinch that the Giants and Yankees will be sub- stantially the same after the gas has blown away from the Chicago conclaves they are now. Miller Huggins and Ed Barrow, who are to do the listening for the Yankee world champ‘ons admit that they have no delusions that any American league c'ub owner wi'l do- nate a player to the champions un- less he gets all the best of the deal. Huggins has announced that “he would not throw away an opportun- ity to get a good right hand hitting outfielder, another left handed pitch- er or a second baseman “like Harris or Collins.” For any of these utensils, Huggins admits that he might be asked to sive up Babe Ruth and he has the answer framed in words that he will have thrown at him frequently —“nothin’ doin’.” ‘The Yankees would Ike to get Urban Shocker, the pitching ace of the*St. Louis Browns, but several other clubs are after him and if it j *| THE TRIBUNE HENRY WALKER, matched with Eddie Moon for a ten-round go on Tuesday night's ring card at the Elks.

Connie Mack is said to be ready to offer Detroit a good second basemtn and two pitchers for Harry Heil man, The Tigers could use a high class infielder and the club {s over- stocked with outfielders. Unless he arrives on the steamers due Monday, John McGraw will miss the Chicago meetings and if he is not there, it is certain that the Na- tiona! league champions will not be among the traders. The Giants have figured promt- nently in al: the “Hornsby talk” but the opinion prevails here that if the Giants are to get the St. Louis star, the deal has already been settled. McGraw, it has been pointed out, would not have gone to Europe and left the field oper. to rivals if he had not reached an understanding with the St. Louis officials. This, holding good, of course, only in the event that the Giant leader wanted Hornsby. All kinds of swaps and trades are expected to be made while the ma- jors and the minors #re sparring around in Chicago but if the mag nates follow precedent they will waste a lot of words and do very Uttle.

Similar owls of discontent have been let loose in the Big Horn basin, Some of the most ardent admirers of Big Horn basin football claim thac or Thermopolis w: on Sheridan and Casper in the s ame afternoon with only long enough intermission to tie a couple of shoe| strings. As the situation has developed this year, Sheridan has a stra'ght claim to the championship. Sheridan beat Casper and Casper was the next best team in the state as was proved when Casper trounced Laramie and Douglas so conclusively. Casper has no alibi because it lost to Sheridan in a quagmire of mud. It doesn't make any difference whether you play on snowshoes or with water Wings it’s only whether you win or lose that counts when they start to call the roll. The whole trouble over a clear title to the state championship is caused by lack of organization among the high schools. W. I. Wright, coach of the Sheri dan high school, started the ball rolling in the proper direction with a recent article he wrote for the Sheridan Post-Enterprise. Wright isn’t exceedingly popular with elther oaches or officials throughout the state. His succ in winning three state championships and subsequent- ly thinking that he has forgotten more football than Walter Eckersall and Walter Camp will ever know, can be excused. What gets under the boys’ skins is that he absolutely refuses to let home town officials work in games which he plays out of town. It is on the order of insinuat- ing that the home town officials would steal the uniforms off his Players before they got back on the train.

Billy Gibson, Tunney’s manager said the champion was in great shape and he felt sure he would stop Greb in less than i$ rounds, Row and Zip Cypreansen, Casper men of unquestioned integrity were selected to officiate. Wright let out @ roar like a wounded torreador and two Cheyenne men, Jack Norris and H, R. Jenkins, were, brought up to handle the whistles. This cost the high school athletic association about $75 extra expense, counting Pullman fare, railroad fare and meals for two days. Coach Morgan of the Casper team has always taken the attitude! that the home team should be allowed to select the officials. On the games that Casper has played out of town in the last three years it has always been given a equare deal. But regardless of Wright's stand on this matter, he has put out a good idea in advising that the state be divided: into four divisions the south Including Cheyenne and Lara the central section including per and Douglas, the north di- vision of which Sheridan is usually king, and the Big Horn basin The winners of these divisions could be brought together at the end of the season and a clear title to the championship established. As the situation is at present it is al- ways unsatisfactory. CHILEAN HEAVY GABLES CHALLENGE 0 FIRPS FOR S. A. TITLE FIGHT PARIS, Dec. 8.—(Unitec} Press.}— Quintin Romero, heavywe'ght cham- pion of Ch¥e, cabled a challenge to the Buenos Aires boxing federation today asking for a match with Luis Firpo to decide the heavyweight championship of South America. He said he would be ready to fight Firpo “anytime, any place for any bet” but it is known that he pre- fers to have the contest staged in the United States. Romero has been boxing around Paris for several months and he became prominent recently when he knocked out Marce! -Nilles, former heavyweight champion of France. He has completed plans to go to the United States in March.

Seven important problems—one considered a thorn in the side of baseballdom—will pro- vide Monday's working material. The “thorn” involves the presidency of the Pacific Coast league and will be disposed of by the National league,board of arbitration. Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis, is making an effort to settle the dispute. A rumored ‘‘split” between Com- missioner Landis and Ban Johnson, president of the American league, is receiving attention. Embryonic trades are expected to take definite form. Rogers Hornsby will go from St. Louis to the York Giants, according to “the dope." The Chicago Cubs also have bid for the slugger. Manager Frank Chance, new pilot of the Chicago White Sox, may do some trading. President Clark Griffith 4s expect- ed to announce a new manager for the Washington Americans. It is rumored he wants Eddie Collins of the White Sox. Overshadowing al! other business, are the following: 1—Adoption of a modified form of draft by the non-draft minor leagues, 2—Disposal of the case of Urban Shocker, St. Louis Brown's pitcher who demands unqualified release and free agency. 3—Adoption or rejection of seven- teen proposed amendments to the major league agreements. 4—Giving Commissioner Landis power to dispose of all matters per- taining to umpires’ financial claims. 5—Abolishing baseball pools and other forms of baseball gambling. Harry Williams and W. H. Me- Carthy, the “two presidents” of the Pacific Coast league, are “sitting tight” and awaiting the arbitration board's decision of “who's who” in the presidential office. McCarthy asserted the “big five” faction of the association ousted him after he charged the Seattle club was bought with money supplied by William Wrigley, Jr. McCarthy carried the fight to Federal court, claiming the sale illegal and terming it ‘syndicate baseball.” The Seattle club lHkewise was re- fused a vote at the election, W1i liams winning five of the eight votes. Minor leagues will get down to actual business Tuesday. Commla- sionér Landis will have part'in a joint major league conclave Wednes day.

The points were added after touchdown and the score was ued. Later in the final quarter, Scott worked the ball to the visitors’ 20-yard line and Evans, Scott cap- tain, booted the field goal that won the game. Roller Skating On Streets Is Barred; Juveniles In Arms CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 8.—A wail of protest is going up from Cheyenne’s juvenile population be- cause of a police ukase forbidding roller skating on paved streets.
