Manush came to them in a deal with the Tigers. NEW YORK, Jan. 6—The sale or trade of some of baseball's chief luminaries in “corridor con- versitions” at the major league magnates’ meeting here has had about the same_ eifect on current big league players as the sound of the ax has on a barnyard full of turkeys. If whispered hotel lobby discus- slons between rival managers aud " owners can up-root such fixtures as George Sisler, Ken Williams ® and Heinie Manush, what chance is there for the leSser lights? That was the question—or one of them. Another was: Who's next? The greatest upheaval appear- ed to have hit the American league with few jobs positively safe except those of the New York Yankee regulars. Not even heavy . hitting is enough to save a man from tae p drift downriver, it was evident as Ken Williams, outfielder, was sold by the St. Louls Browns to the Boston Red Sox/despite the fact he hit .323 last season in compari- son with his average of .320 for his previous ten years in the ma- jors, and inciderftally collected 17 home runs. Sisler Hit 327 George Sisler, the Brown's first baseman and former manager, slugged 327 last season, but this was below the high standard of .346 which he had averaged in his 11 previous years in the big time and he had to go. Washington . ‘got him for about $25,000, a quar- ter of the sum at which he was rated a few years back. The sale of Sisler and Williams " was a part of the announced plan of Phil Ball, owner of the St. ‘fouls Browns, to.completely re- urganize his team this “year. “Two more of the Browns’ stars —“Blam Van Gilder, veteran pitch- er, and Rice, outfielder— to Detroit Tigers in the 3 that brought 'the Browns first-sacker, and Heinle 3 outfielder. e RANKS: OTHERS LOOM i | ? l | leading the league in 1926, but dropped to .299 last season. anLEGE FIVE Cards Get 'Gibson | Not to be outdone by th:r American League rivals, the St. DEFEAT KAY Louis Cardinals completed several ) deals, Buying outright Frank Gib- son, Braves catcher, and obtaining Jimmy Cooney, infielder, Outfield-| KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 9. ier Johnny Mokan, and Catcher(—The undefeated Alaska College Clarence Jonnard from Philadel |basketball team defeated the Ket- phia via the trade route with the|chikan High School five Saturday veéteran Jimmy Ring and Johu|night by a score of 27 to 22.

It was nip and tuck for the next few minutes until the Hilltoppers fought their way into a two point lead which they increased later with another field goal, giving them the four point lead which they held until the final whistle blew.

She was handicapped by ill- ness while in America. Mr. Price's first dozen’: Mrs. Godfree, Miss Nuthall, Miss Joan Fry, Mrs. M. Watson, Miss P. Saunders, Miss Ellen Bennett, Mrs. B. Covell, Miss E. Harvey, Mrs. John Hill, Mcllguham, Miss J. and Miss G. R. Sterry. Miss Sterry received a place in the list largely because she suc- ceeded in winning a sét from Miss Wills at Wimbledon. Six of the 12 players named, including Mrs. Godfree, captain, and Miss Nuthall, were members of the English Wightman cup team which lost in a match with an American team headed by Miss Wills at Forest Hills, N.
