DAD , HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE GOING TO STAY HERE..? I'M ANXIOUS TO GET BACK TO NEW YORK p/a/z/f 8Y ALAN GOULD The Autumn breezes have been filled with gossip about a wide variety of baseball trades, as well as falling leaves and forward pass- es, put none of the experts with ears to the ground or eyes to the key-hole were prepared for the sudden announcement that Joseph Edward Cronin had been sold by the Washington Senators to the Boston Red Sox. The deal comes not only as a complete surprise to those on the sidelines but it is the tipoff on' how completely the magnates are willing to shake things up to get what they want—whether it is playing skill and the pennant punch, in Boston, or the ready cash, in Washington. Cronin's sale may be the prelude to another succession of winter trades, calcu- lated to strengthen some of the {Armistice Day DANCE EAGLES’ HALL DOUGLAS TONIGHT, NOV. 8 10 F. M.

From now on it may not. be worth while to laugh off some of the seemingly fantastic deals al- | ready under discussion, such as the sale of Carl Hubbell by the Giants, the trading of Wild Bill Hallahan by the Cardinals to the Cubs, the purchase of Al Simmons from the White Sox by the Tigers or Red Sox, and the departure of Charley Gehringer from Detroit to Cleve: land to replace Walter Johnson as pilot of the Indians. Most of these propositions can be discarded as the products of imaginative minds but the point is that even if they don't materialize, |other deals, equally as fantastic, may develop before another spring training call sounds. What's to prevent Connie Mack from selling Jimmie Foxx to the highest bidder, despite the fact James has lately signed a three- year contract with the A’s? What is going to happen to Bucky Har- ris, one of the ablest of American League managers, with his job moved out from under him in Boston? Will Babe Ruth take Cronin’s place in Washington? Mere $150,000! Cronin’s sale at a reported rec- ord price of $150,000 gives you anh idea of just how valuable Tom Yawkey and Eddie Collins consider the young man from San Francisco who has piloted the Senators for the past two years while keeping his place as the All-America short- stop. Yawkey refused to say exactly what he paid for Cronin but stated flatly it was in excess of the cash sum of $135000 which changed hands when the Yankees got title to Babe Ruth from the O SUNSH .

This part of the transaction, was, of course, in the nature of an “investment” but it showed to what lengths Ruppert was willing to go, on the advice of Miller Hug- gins to get the greatest slugger of all time. Must Be Good ‘When you consider Mickey Coch- rane, Lefty Grove and Al Sim- mons, key men in Connie Mack's last championship team, each was peddled to other clubs for approxi- mately $100,000, and that the Chi- cago Cubs paid $125000 in cash for Chuck Klein, you can gather some notion about Cronin’s rela- tive value. Joe is not only the No. 1 shortstop of the” majors, but he is a cleanup hitter of the first rank. Always dangerous with men on bases, he is just what the Red Sox . batting order needs to turn those one-run defeats into vietories. ——.— WHAT’LL HE BE?
