SP ORTS. YANKEES, HOWEVER, DENY TRADING HOYT FOR HIM Barrow Admits New York Spitballer—Cincinnati Club Would Like to Have Declares Neither Giants Nor Any One Else Will Get Roush. EW YORK, October 15—Stories out of St. Louis to the effect that Urban Shocker, star spit ball pitcher of the Browns, would be traded to the Yankees for Waite Hoyt have been denied by Ed- ward G. Barrow, business manager of the local club. “That proposition was made to us during the playing season, and we turned it down flat,” said Barrow. “The Yanks, I dare say, would be in- terested in a deal for Shocker, but not unless the Browns would consent to take one of our regular pitchers b on that angle of it.” esides Hoyt. There is nothing doing Shocker has pitched his last game for the Browns, according to re- liable advices from the Mound C y. Owner Phil Ball and Manager George Sisler, as well as Shocker himsclf, believe that the spitballer has outlived his usefulness in St. Loui There were many rumors that Shocker and Sisler did not get along well together, and Urban, it is said, desires a change of scenery. It is well known that the Yanks tried to get him last Winter but failed. Miller Huggins has glways been keen to get back the pitcher he once let slip through his finzers, but base ball observers helieve the Iirown« would not consider a deal of Shocker for Jones, Bush or Shawkey unless considerable other talent were thrown in. The Yanks would refuse to in- clude Pennock or Hoyt, and this is likely to block the trade. Reds to Keep Roush. CINCINNATI, October 15.—To quiet rumors, President Auzu~t Herrmann of the Cincinnati Reds has declared that under no circumstances would Ed Roush, star centerficlder of the Reds, be traded to the New York Glants or any other club.

The purse and distance have not been decided upon and the attitude of the owners of the other colts was not known to Werthelmer, who said, however, that he would enter Epin- ard in the race if it were run. Wertheimer will sail for France Saturday, and probably will be accom- panied by Everett Haynes, American jockey, who has had the mount on the French colt in all of his important starts. Haynes will ride other Wert- heimer horses on European tracks, and Epinard will have another jockey up in the fourth international race, if it is run, Wertheimer said. LATONIA, K October 15.—Epin- ard, Pierre Wertheimer's ampion thoroughbred of France, which went down to defeat hefore Sarazen In the third international special here last Saturday, will be shipped to Laurel, Md.. today. If the colt stands‘ the journey In good shape, he will be a starter in the Laurel stake, a condition affair for horsas of all ages at one mile, Trainer Eugene leigh announced. In this race the horse will get in with 116 pounds. Trainer Leigh was agree- ably surprised when he looked over the list of possible starters and found that Sarazen was among the missing. The fact that Sarazen w barred him from the race. should make Epinard as big a favor- ite at Laurel Saturday as he was at Latonia last Saturday ‘Wise Counsellor has been shipped tc Laurel to start in that stake. CHICAGO, October 15.—Fredrick Durton of Chicago, owner of Wise Counsellor, has proposed an interna- tional race, matching Sarazen, Lad- kin and Wise Counsellor, winners of the three international sweepstakes: Epinard, French champion. and Black i0old, Kentucky derby winner, to be decided at Churchill Downs course arly in November. rd is a much better horse ny of his races in America have ind ted,”” Burton said. “It is due to his owner, Pierre Wertheimer, that we grant him another chance to show just how great a colt he own Wise Counsellor was unahle to start against Epinard in the $30,000 spe- cial at lLatonia last Saturday, but previously defeated him.

The ballvhoo for Terrls would now be in full swing if it was not for an unfortunate injury to one of his hands.- Bat the injured member has responded to treatment and Sid soon will be swinging into action. It is the writer's opinion that Terris would not prove an acceptable champion to the country at large. His style of milling is not conducive to any excess of enthusiasm and will prove a disappointment to the folks who look for a fighting titleholder. Terris has speed, too much speed of foot to satisfy those accustomed to seeing a champion give and take as the occasion warrants. His attack consists of a lightning-like left-hand jab, with an occasional right-hand cross while pedaling around the ring at a pace calculated to burn up about 10 miles in the course of a bout.

(Copyright, 1924.) CHISOX TAKE GAME. QUEBEC, October 15.—The Chicago ‘White Sox defeated the New York Giants, 10 to 8, in an exhibition game here yesterday. Robertson pitched for the winners and Scott and Hunt- zinger shared the mound burden of the losers. The two teams will meet again today in their last game before salling for Europe. Funny, isn't it, how a fellow will g0 out and play the long holes easily and then muff the short ones. Winning the western open this year was mighty gratifying, but it surely would have been nice to win the na- tional open, too. I was four strokes back of Cyril Walker at Detroit and RIl because I couldn’t do my stuff on the short ones. There were four abbreviated holes. As we played around four times, we shot, in effect, 16 short holes. I am SOTTY to say that I made only four par 3s. On 12 occasions I threw away a stroke—more than were needed to win the title. The nigth hole, was my JAPANESE NETMEN WINS. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 15.— Takelichi Harada, member of the Japanese Davis cup team and a spe- clal student, won the Harvard tennis tournament, defeating Alden Briggs 6—3, 6—4, 6—0.
