SPORTS. Fuchs Becomes Managing-Owner of Braves With the Sale of Hornsby to Chicago BASE BALL WORLD AWAZED BY JUDGE Engages Johnny Evers to Assist Him in Directing Team at Hub. BY WILLIAM R. KING, Associated Press Sports Writer. OSTON, November 8.—Judge Emil E. Fuchs, who was a New York City magistrate before he became resident of the Boston Braves, as returned to the bench—in the National League. After selling Rogers Hornsby, his last season's manager and the leading bats- man in the National League, to the Chicago Cubs for five ball players and some cash, the judge, who received his carly base ball training on New York sandlots, was prevailed upon by his as- sociates to bacome a managing owner. The Hornsby trade, rumors of which had been circulating since the world - serics, failed to excite Boston's base ball public much. but Judge Fuchs' state- ment that he intended to run the Braves' ball club on and off the field was received with amazement. ‘The Braves' executive announced the trade by showing base ball writers ‘a fitter which Hornsby had addressed to m. What Hornsby Wrote. “I want to assure you as we part,” Hornsby wrote, “that when I first sug- gested the Chicago trade I was actuated by a feeling of friendship, loyalty and unsalfishness. I received from you the » best treatment and advice, together with such kindness and sincere thought- ful friendship, that I leave you and your associates with deep regret. I gave the best I had in nie and you always trusted and applauded me. “I will give Chicago the best of my ability and all I can do to help my new club. " I know I shall always remember wita kindness and appreciation your courtesy and my relationship with you. I wish you the great success you de- serve.” Then the judge announced that he hdd bsen prevailed upon by Charles F. Adams, vice president of the club, to become managing director. 1 know my shortcomings and I ap- preciate the burdens and hardships,” he said. “The only advantage I start with is the good will and confidence of our players, who have always trusted me. So many of them, year after year, have affixed their signatures to blank contracts, reposing sufficient faith and confidence in me to fill in their yearly salaries, without ‘protest cr complaint. “Another advantage is ood will and sympathetic friendly Iceling of the Boston public which I enjoy, and whom I shall expect to remain patient with me, for I can release myself as man- ager with much less embarrassment than I would any one else. To my friends, the base ball writers of the country, who have never violated a confidence .reposed by me in them, I say that I shall play the game and e good-naturedly their kindly digs and request that they suspend judg- ment until I have had a fair oppor- tunity to prove or disprove the wisdom of my reluctant step and acceptance. Having accepted the task, I shall tal full responsibility, blame and criticism.” Johnny Evers to Aid. After ennouncing that he had en- gaged Johnny Evers, who helped to Dei bring 4 world chempionship to Boston in 1914, when he was captain of the Braves, as his chief assistant, Judge Puchs expressed the hope-that Evers would inspire the team with his aggressive and hustling spirit. Judge Fuch's first act as manager was to invite all of the young players hereabouts, in the New England League end twilight circuits, to attend a base Vi . for- a scout for the Braves, will open immediately. CUBS WIN ON DEAL; FUCHS FACES TASK BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, November 8.—Final ne- gatiations have been completed for th transfer of Rogers Hornsby, manage: and second bassman of the Boston Braves, to the Chicago Nationais. The papers in the transfer were signed sev- eral weeks 2go in New York. ‘The Chicago club_profits chiefly by the transaction. In exchange for Hornsby, Chicago gives McGuire, the bast fielding second baseman in the game; with Jones, a promising left- hand pitcher, who always has -just managed to fail to come up to his promises, and a sum of cash which may or may not be $2000000.

McCullough _did his pitching for Minneapolis of the American Asso- ciation during the past season, but it now develops that he actually was the property of the Mudhens, not the Millers, Evidently the double-A circuit in the Midwest permits the farming of players within Its organization as do some other minor leagues of lower grade. BAY STATE ASSURED OF SUNDAY SPORTS By the Associated Press. BOSTON, November 8.—The count on the Sunday sports law referendum at Tuesday's general election had prog- ressed sufficiently today to assure its supporters that the measure had swept the State. Paid sports, particularly base ball or automobile racing, next year will be legally permissible in all cities of the State wh(cgneelen to grant local licenses. Returns from three-fourths of the total precincts in the State showed a ves vote of 577,353; no, 304,738. In this city the vote was better than 3 to 1 in favor of the referendum which will make games here next season. Heretofore both Boston clubs have suffered the financial handicap of not being able to realize on the largs crowds which patronize the game on Sundays in_other league cities. The vote on referendum was so heavy that there was no question but that it had complied with the legal requirement that the yes figure be at least 39 per cent of the total vote cast gxr any office or act in the same elec- jon.

HICAGO, November 8—Rogers National League base ball, will next be seen in a Chicago Cub uniform. money, perhaps the largest amount ever involved in a base ball deal, will go to the Boston Braves in exchange for forms of three clubs in the past three years. The long-rumored deal, which gave hitter, was completed last night in a telephone conversation between Presi- dent W. L. Veeck of the Chicago cub the Braves. President Veeck refused to divulge the exact sum of money involved, but | $200,000.

Carrying out the promise made to the annual meeting of the District Golf As- sociation last March, a special commit- tee, which already has done some work on the matter, will meet. tonight at the call of Chairman Albert E. Steinem to revise and bring up to date the consti- tution and by-laws of the association. The meeting is expected to bring to a head the most important piece of work, |in a legislative way, to be accomplished by the associetion this year. The present effort, to be centered in he meeting tonight, is literally to put teeth” in the constitution of the local {golf association end to transform it from a locsely knit and loosely organ- body into a closely knit organiza- upon all the member clubs. The entire matter is more or less an outgrowth of- the Voigt affair of 1927, when at least (one of the clubs of the association threatensd secession from the main body unless the ruling declaring Voigt not eligible for the District amateur | chempionshpi was withdrawn. But behind the scenes are other mat- ters which press for solution. Here- tofore the constitution of the District Golf Association has not permitted the nization to arbitrarily enforce its rulings, nor has there been a clearing house within the organization where such matters as eligibility, amateur status and other considerations could be taken up. The feeling is that, al- though the association ruled Voigt in- eligible for play in the 1827 amateur championship, the ruling could not be | enforced because there was no proviso | in the constitution enforcing the ruling lon th: member clubs. The situation 3 Talk of Dempsey Come-Back Tabbed as Box Office Dodge BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 8.—Talk of Jack Dempsey returning to the ring seems to most observ- ers to be inspired largely by efiorts to brace up the sagging fortunes of the fiistic game. They have sagged, especially from the box office viewpoint, this year to a marked degree by comparison with the | heydays of the boom era that started | in 1923. That was the year Dempsey and Pirpo fought their m2morable bat- tle at the Polo Grounds. By a strange, if not pminous coinci- dence. Firpo also figures in the come- back talk. It would he an odd turn of circumstance if both the Argentine Bull and the old Manassa Mauler climbed back through the ropes next year.

Fleet of the Army War College Golf Club. Having practically completed the new second green at Bannockburn, with its nearly 6,000 square feet of putting sur- face, Dr. Thomas J. W. Brown, who has a passion for doing big things in a big way among the hills and vales of the Glen Echo country, has moved his tractors and pushers over to the valley between the twelfth and four- teenth fairways and there is engaged in changing the course of a stream, with the intention of making the twelfth hole at Bannockburn one of the outstanding ones of the course, He already has made a new bed for part of the stream and now is directing the work of cutting down the hill on the right edge of the fourteenth fairway in order that the twelfth fairway may be widened by moving the stream bed about 30 yards to the right. The gigantic task of clearing the eastern edge of the twelfth fairway has i been completed, and the detonations i which sent their stump, blasting bursts } through the hills of Bannockburn have { ceased. Where formerly there grew :i wild tangle of heavy undergrowth, small trees and big stumps, now stands {a smooth area of hillside, planted to grass and binder growth.

WILL DRAW BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, November 8—When a crowd of upward of 50,000 people goes to see a foot ball team that lost its first three games play a team that lost its first four there must be something of importance behind it. That attend- | ance has been predicted for the Navy- Michigan encounter at Baltimore Sat- urday and the attraction for the huge crowd lies in the prospect of a thrilling battle between two teams that have come back brilliantly after making poor starts—a battle that should be as close as_any game in the East. With their morale impaired by the death of Miles Fox during an early season practice, the Midshipmen got off to a slow start and dropped close games to Davis-Elkins, Boston College and Notre Dame before they won their first game from Duke. The next Satur- day they burst into the limelight with a victory over the highly rated Pennsyl- vania team and followed it up by trouncing West Virginia Wesleyan, 37 to 0. Wolverines Come to Life.

The Navy-Michigan series has a brief but ‘surprising history. In 1925 Michi- gan walloped the Midshipmen by a 50- to-0 count. The next year, with the same teams, Navy turned the tables, winning 10 to 0. In 1927 Michigan won again, 27 to 12. Overtopping this intersectional battle in interest is another East-West en- counter, which may have an important bearing on the race for national cham- plonship honors, between Army and Notre Dame.

Among the all-Eastern games the Georgetown-Carnegie Tech encounter on a neutral battlefield at Albany and the Harvard-Penn game at Harvard Stadium lead. Georgetown and Car- negie rank among the few undefeated and untied teams in the East and will be fighting to keep their records clean. Penn and Harvard both have been de- feated by the fighting Navy team and by Army, respectively, but little inter- est has been taken from their meeting by these setbacks. Villanova, the fifth undefeated and untied team in the East, will not have an easy time with Temple, which was tumbled from that list last week by Schuylkill after going through five games without having a point scored against it.

Breadon refused to comment on ru- mors that McKechnie would be de- posed as the Cardinals leader. Brea- don asserted McKechnie had made very few mistakes curing the 1928 season, following this up with query: ‘“Where could I get a better manager?"” Breadon has stated at various times that he would like to have more ag- gressiveness on the part of the manager than McKechnie displayed, but this has not been taken as an indication that he expected to depose the manager. .
