BIG LEAGUE SESSIONS TO BE TRADE MARTS NEW YORK, November 24 (#).— Winter meetings of the major base ball leagues next month, besides de. veloping schedules of fewer days than in the past, undoubtedly will produce some rearrangements {n various ros- ters. Plans for the shorter schedule arose following the recent world serfes, wherein Commissioner Landis obtained some first-hand infotmation on Oc- tober weather conditions. The fans in Washington were bundled in over. coats; in Pitisburgh they adopted every covering imaginable to shut out the rain. The final contest was fought out in a steady downpour. Aaron Ward, for several years sec- ond baseman of the New York Yan kees, is the latest athlete to ride upon rumor. He is said to be headed for Chicago, where Manager Eddie Collins and Shortstop Ike Davis are ailing. The Yankees are well fortified in the infleld with Tony Lazarre, home run champlon of the Pacific Coast League, and Mark Koenig, from the American Association, due to report in the Spring. several particu Jack Owsl played in later was As might provem .. \WAVERLY GRID TEAM SEEKS TITLE HONORS reld their line in. ur cont d hav the ganized Knick st Sunday, th moring fe cha and the District un sts a reo limited tit Ma ) . |together Ace. er Frank Kersey has rounded you group of play an appy foot ball opinion that a clash m _and the Indian best drawing card foot ball fans nosing out the vs have plaved to h the Virginia Ath Alexandria and the of Baltimore and de sex Bulldogs of Balti s who play cl pt Shapley Is Backfield . and he ston 9 attemy 11so ma Northern Athletic Club gridders s will be out » with injuri clash w s Thursday are to practice to- ir Sunday meeting gridmen have r Barracks fleld, to book an op. game call Columbia Palace Athle the use of Washin but have been ur ponent for Sunday Manager Wintmeyer Banks May Not Start the 110-1 shown ams secking action ning would | te th will be the Na The Navy with a ich than for som FRATERNITY BASKETERS TO BATTLE FOR TITLE ha ma Nu Wash sium to de ection 1 of One other ma_encos Kappa & end of me with Tt took 19-t0-10 in ipsilon Omega.

HORNSBY OR CUYLER SHOULD WIN HONOR BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, November 24.—The race for the title of the most valua ble player in the National League will not be officially decided until the meeting of the league magnates on December 9, but indications today pointed to two players—Hornsby of the Cardinals and Cuvler of the Pirates—as the most favored candf dates, with the odds favoring Hornsby All of this, of course, is still mere gossip, but as Hornsby is the older and more experienced plaver of the two, and t as a rule, goes to a vete it seems extremely like- 1y the Louis manager—who also is the champion batsman of his or ganization—will be chosen Cuvler made a great showing for a kid in tional League in 1 It one of the best vears in base ball history for a plaver of his experience.
