NATS TRADE 5 MEN FOR BUDDY MYER Lisenbee, Gaston, Reeves, Gillis and Bigelow Will Go to Boston Club. ___(Gontinued From First Page) ington offer. Negotiations ended, both presidents were careful to declare that the deal was the affair of the managers, not theirs, * Griffith, before completing the trade, was anxious to learn whether John- son cared to part with the players wanted and whether Ossie Bluege, for several seasons regular third baseman of the Nationals, could be converted into a shortfielder. From the start of negotiations the intention was to: place Myer at third base and shift Bluege to shortstop. Bluege, called into con- ference with Griffith and Johnson yes- terday, .expressed confidence in his ability to care for the new position, de- clared the leg injury that handicapped him several years ago had healed thor- oughly and said he believed his under- pinning would withstand the extra strain that would come from playing shortstop. This satisfied both president and pllot. A report from Boston states that Carrigan, in approving the deal, said he did not like to see Myer leave the Red Sox, but he believed the deal would benefit his club as the players he would get for Buddy would help more than one player could. So it seems both sides are well pleased. Lisenbee Flash Lacking in ’28. Although the Nationals are giving five players for one, it does not seem they are giving up more than two good prospects for a youngster who had de- veloped remarkably in a base ball way within a year. Of the lot transferred to the Red Sox, only Lisenbee, the pitcher, and Reeves, the infielder, give omise of becoming worthwhile major eague timber. Lisenbee came up to the Nationals from Memphis, and in 1927, his first year.as a big leaguer, pitched to a brilliant record. Last season, however, the right-hander was off to a pool start and never was able to flash the form that had made him so successful the previous season. Toward the mid- dle of the campaign he was farmed to Minneapolis of the American Asso- ciation and failed even to recover his pitching ability in the minor circuit. Reeves came to the Nationals fresh from Georgia Tech in June, 1926, heralded as a hard-hitting and brilliant fielding shortstop. At times he per- formed remarkably well afield, but from the start he was a wild thrower and not until the latter part of the last cam- paign did he live up to his reputation as a hitter. His erratic heaves and Inability to function in double-play mak- ing with any great degree of success re- duced his value to the Nationals greatly, but he is young and still has a fine chance to make the major grade. Neither Gaston nor Gillis was a suc- cess with the Nationals. Gaston, a veteran pitcher procured from the Browns in exchange for Earl McNeely, outfielder, and Dick Coffman, recruit hurler, in a deal last Winter, was ex- pected to bolster the pitching staff con- siderably. Instead, he was a failure from the beginning of the season. He hurled but two or three good games throughout the campaign and toward the finish was employed only as'a relief man. Gillis, first tried at the Nationals' 1927 train- ing camp, came back to the club after being farmed to Birmingham of the Southern Association for a season. He looked a likely shortstop at the begin- ning of the past season, but soon falter- ed and then was unable to make a good showing at second base. In. June, he was shipped to Minneapolis, where he finished the year. Myer Is Rated High. Bigelow, 2 30-year-old player, has been in the minors from the start of his professional career. He has shown no speed, is not a particularly good thrower, but he can hit. With Birmingham last season, he socked for an average of .393 in 124 games. He was purchased for the Nationals solely for use as a pinch- batter, being considered too slow and too inaccurate a fielder for regular play. In return for these men, the Nationals get back a player who will not be 25 Iyears old until next March and who |during the past season stung the ball for an average of .313, fielded remark- ably well for a newly-made third base- man and was fast enough to lead his league at base stealing. Myer's stick- work and speed more than anything else impressed both Griffith and John- son with the desirability of bringing the J'IOH:K infielder back to the Washington club. Buddy—or Charles Solomon, to give | his regular front names—came to the| Nationals from New Orleans in the lat- | ter part of the 1925 season. He had a training camp trial with the Cleveland Club after leaving Mississippi A. and M. College in 1925, but instead of signing with the Indians joined the Pelicans of the Southern Association. He had lit- tle to do in his first season with Wash- ington, although he did participate in the world series against Pittsburgh, taking the place of Blusge, who was put out of commission when struck by a pitched ball. In 1926 Buddy started as an under- study to Roger Peckinpaugh, shortstop, ‘who the year before had been voted the most valuable player to a club in the American League. Before the season 'was very old, Myer was made the regu- lar shortstop berth, and filled the po- sition the greater part of that cam- paign. He batted .304 for the year, but his fielding left much to be desired. Myer failed to start well in 1927 and soon was traded to Boston for the vet- eran Rigney. Buddy now is recognized as one of the coming stars of the ma- jors, while Topper long since has been Plodding_ along in the minors. While Myer failed to shine when at- tempting to fill Peckinpaugh’s shoes at short here, he made good ‘at third base for the Red Sox. and in a recent inter- view he dopes it out this way: “I have reached the conclusion that shortstops—I mean great shortstops— are born, not developed. The third baseman does not have so much ground | to cover to his right. Most of his stops are to his left, where he uses his gloved hand. The third baseman has more time to throw, while the shortstop has to hurry practically every peg he makes to first. As a result, I no longer_have the ambition to be shortstop. I am satisfied to be a third baseman as leng as my manager thinks I can fill the il % And that's the fine spirit he brings back to the Nationals. MACFARLANE IS VICTOR.

BY HORACE C. RENEGAR. Associated Press Sports Writer. NASHVILLE, Tenn. December 15.— The Southern Conference today adopt- ed a plan for a New Year day charity foot ball game in 1930 to be played at Atlanta. . The vote was 11 to 8, with the other institutions not voting. The game will be the only post-season contest sanc- tioned in 1930, and will be continued annually if the conference and its out- side sponsors so desire, Proceeds are g0 _to Shrine hospitals in the South. Duke University in North Carolina was admitted to membership by the conference, which unanimously. voted to set aside the constitutional provision limiting its membership to 22 colleges. Guyon Given O.K. The conference also voted to except Joe Guyon, former Georgia Tech and Carlisle Indian star, from the rule against employment of coaches and as- sistants who have had experience in professional foot ball. He will be assist- ant to Josh Cody as coach at Clemson. ‘The conference voted permission for Georgia Tech to go to Pasadena, Calif., New Year day to play the University of California in & foot ball game at the tournament of roses. March 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were the days set for the annual basket ball tourna- ment at Atlanta. Permission also was given for the teams to take 10 men on their squads to the tournament instead of eight, as has hitherto been provided. Expenses for the extra two men, how- ever, probably will be borne by the schools. The tennis tournament was awarded Tulane University for the week of May 14 to 19. The cross-country event will be staged at the University of North Carolina the Saturday before Thanks- giving, and the boxing tournament will be held at the University of Virginia March 1 and 2. Track Dates Set. May 17 and 18 were the dates set for the track and fleld meet, and Coach W. A. Alexander announced that the South- ern relays, a meet sponsored by Georgia Tech, will be held at Atlanta April 13. The conference also adopted an amendment for a central booking office for athletic contest officials. Dr. S. V. Sanfor@ of the University of Georgia was re-elected president of the conference; Dr. J. F. Broussard of Louisiana State University was chosen vice president and Dr. W. D. Funk- houser of the University of Kentucky was re-clected secretary and treasurer.

A discussion group, led by M. A. Cheek of Harvard University, recom: mended the code be drafted by a na- tional convention of student leaders, athletic directors, coaches and athletes and non-subscribing colleges would be boycotted in athletics by the ones gov- erned by its terms. The code would deal with standards of amateurism and professionalism, eligibility rules and with participation in professional sports such as Summer base ball by college athletes. Cheek pointed to the disparity in eligibility rules, stated that a man could be an amateur in one conference and a professional in another. A committee wil be named to ar- range details of the proposed code- drafting convention. Ursel C. Narver of Portland, Oreg., who was graduated last June from Oregon State College, was elected presi- dent of the federation late today.

PHOTE By the Associated Press: ST. LO! , December . 15. — Sam Breadon, ardinal president, before leaving yesterday for Honolulu, said he expected the base ball world eventually to accept, in modified form, the sugges- tion of President John Heydler of the National League to take the burden of batting, or trying to bat, off the shoul- ders of pitchers. “Ten men on a team,” he said, “is a radical departure from base ball as we have known it for so many_years. ‘We are not ready for that, and I don't think we ever will depart from the basis of nine men on a side. But there is no good argument in favor of making the pitcher bat. He is a specialist. “It is tedious work, this learning to pitch, and while a man, when he starts in base ball as a pitcher, may have the qualifications of a batter, he soon loses his batting ability because he spends so | much time learning the fine arts of pitching. “My suggestion is that the manager of a team be given the privilege of let- ting his pitcher bat, or of passing along Breadon Would Give Pilot Op_tion of Passing Along Pitcher’s Hitting Turn to Next Batter his turn to the next man in the batting order. You still will have nine men on a side and certainly no one will argue that the batting of a pitcher is one of the things that draw cash customers to a ball park. “On the other hand, the presence of a pitcher in the batting order gives you a dead end, & recurring dull spot in your ensemble ball game.” * ‘Heydler's suggestion for a ten-man team might force a reorganization of playing rules, player limits and cause chaotic conditions, Breadon said. RHEM, CARDS’ By the Assoclated Press. ST. LOUIS, December 15.—Charles Flint Rhem of Rhems, S. C., one of the pitehing heroes of the St. Louis Car- dinals in their pennant season of 1926, has been waived out of the major leagues and has been released to Min- neapolis in the American Association under_ optional agreement, Vice Presi- dent Branch Rickey announced tonight. The announcement came &s & sur- prise, as Rhem could have been claimed by any major league club for the $7,500 waiver price. “Rhem did not fit into our club” Rickey declared. “He thought more about doing as he pleased than he did about helping out the club. Further- more, in his infractions of club rules, he took others of the club with him. He was not the sort that fits into our present plans and so we passed him along. “The fact' that the other major league clubs passed him along indicates that Rhem has been pretty well sized up by the managers of both leagues.” Phil Ball, president of the St. Louis Browns, said.he did not know in time or he might have given Rhem a trial. “Manager Friel passed him along be- cause he was reported to be a bad actor,” Ball said. ‘“There ought to be 1926 HERO, WAIVED OUT OF MAJORS some good pitching in that arm. I know his folks down in South Carolina and might have handled him.” ’ Rhem was signed by the Cards as a free agent in the Winter of 1923-24 after he had made a great record as a pitcher for Clemson College. He was sent to Fort Smith of the Western | Assoclation in 1924 and was the lead- ing strike-out pitcher of organized base ball that season, fanning 282 batters in 37 games. In 1925, with the Cardinals, he was handicapped by illness, winning only 8 games and losing 13. In 1926 he struck his best stride. He was in splendid condition at the opening of the season and won 11 of his first 12 contests, keeping the Cards near the top until the other pitchers could get into condition. He finished with 20 victories and 7 defeats. Rhem was a holdout the next Spring and did not report to the Cards until a few days before the start of the sea- son. He won his first two starts, but the strain of pitching without train- ing was too much for him and his arm became sore. He lost his overhand de- livery, his most effective pitching style, and won only 10 games and lost 12. Last year Rhem was erratic and in- effective and Manager McKechnie did not use him much. He also was handi- capped by illness. He is 26 years old. BY F. G. VOSBURGH. Assoclated Press Sports Writer, NEW YORK, December 15 (4 —Only a glimpse of Paavo Nurmi and the muttered information that he is not a professional and “does not intend to turn pro was vouchsafed even ths closest friends of the “Phantom Finn’ as he arrived-here today from Europe and promptly whisked himself away to arts unknown. ™ After a search which carried him to Paterson, N. J., and back again to the Bronx, Hugo Quist, the New York Finn, who managed Nurmi's American tour in 1925 and is anxious to learn his run- ning plans for the present visit, summed it all up in the expressive phrase: “Can't find Paavo.” Nor could any one else, for the time being. Boat Helps Nurmi. The French liner Rochambeau, on which Nurmi sailed from Havre on De- cember 5 after a false start on the Berengaria, crept into quarantine at 5 am. and as though in league with i the secretive Finn's desires, slid into its piers at 10:15 a.m., nearly an hour ahead of schedule. Among those taken by surprise and therefore not at the pier to meet him | was ist, and Paavo landed pretty much alone, except for fellow passengers and the few newspaper men who went down to the bay to meet the boat. To them he granted his only inter- view, a series of monosyllables, shakes of the head and repeated declarations of “no spik English,” that is peculiar to Paavo and typical of the man. } He was emphatic in his statement that he had not turned professional and did not expect to do so. About Nurmi Arrives, Denies He Will Turn Pro, and Then Disappears a favorite reply to all questions and invitations. It is cxpected, however, that Nurmi will make his first appearance on this second American tour at a meet to be conducted by the Finnish-American A. C., at Madison Square Garden, January 12, and will probably run in such big events as the Millrose, Illinois A. C. and Nurmi gave eloquent proof of his physical condition and at the same time an evidence of his unassuming habits when he stepped off the boat carrying four heavy suitcases and scorning the attentions of the ship’s stewards eager to do something, anything, for the man who proved in the last olympics thau he still can defend his title as the fastest thing in shoes. For the benefit of cameramen Nurmi went through a few racing paces along the pier and he was gtill traveling fast when he disappeared aboard a taxl. Search Proves Futile. ‘When Quist arrived shortly before 11 o'clack he found Paavo had gotten his baggage cleared some minutés before and the pier was deserted except for a customs employe, who was glad to- an- nounce he had shaken Nurmi’s hand. Sleuthing about among the cab drivers Hugo found Paavo's destination had been Paterson. ‘The trail seemed warm and Quist headed for the New Jersey city con- fident Nurmi would be found there at a residence where he had made his headquarters part of the time while in the United States in 1925.

A tentative first combination played the whole of the first half excepting the last three minutes and led the visitors by 27 to 5. Second and third combinations were used later in the game, the regulars resuming play for the final 10 minutes. Capt.

Catholic University basket ballers were not impressive in their opening tilt of the season at Brookland last night against Baltimore University and dropped a 17-t0-24 count. It was certainly not anything like the quint which represented the Brookland school last Winter. The Monumental City five, on the other hand, put up a much faster and cleverer game last night than it dis- University, and from the opening really was in doubt. ‘The starting line-up of the Cardinals, with the exception of McCabe at cen- ter, who was a reserve on the varsity squad last season, were all sophomores from the 1927-28 freshnen combina- tion, and doubtless the team will de- velop greater strength as the season advances. E. Clifford (Hinky) Hane, visiting left guard, was the star performer of the evening, garnering four court goals and three fouls for 11 points, nearly half the total of his team. In addition, he played a strong game at guard. Blumette Leads Cards. Blumette at forward for the Cardi- nals was best for the home team with two floor goals and a foul. McCabe at center was the only other C. U. man to score from the floor more than once. Baltimore was the first to count when Hane sank a neat looper from side court after about two minutes of play.” A minute later Elliott dribbled for an- other two-pointer to put the visitors out in front, 4 to 0. Play had been under way about five minutes before Papalia scored the first point for the Brooklanders from the foul line. Hane rang up another dou- ble-decker for Baltimore to give his team 3 5-point lead, which was main- tained for the balance of the half, which ended in afvor of the visitors, 14 to 8. After the intermission the Monumen- tal City five, led by Silver, diminutive forward, stepped out to an 18-to-8 lead, and then proceeded to coast along. Coach Fred Rice of Catholic Univer- sity made several substitutions in the second half in an effort to bolster his attack, but it was to no avail. c. u.

SAN DIEGO, Calif.,, December 15.— Establishing a new world record, Dick Loynes, piloting the Miss California. in the first heat of the 151 class limited hydroplanes here today, shot his boat over the two laps of two and one-half miles each at the rate of,49.09 miles an hour, in a total elapsed time of 6 minutes 6.7 seconds. The Miss California broke the record established here last year by Ralph Snoddy in the Angeles, of 47.12 miles an hour. Loynes now stands a good chance to win the celebrated Elgin Trophy, if his time is not beaten during the re- gatta, according to officials in charge of the National Speedboat Races being held on San Diego Bay. Cutie, piloted by K. Jenkins of San Diego, won the first heat of two and one-half miles for class B outboards, averaging 29.58 miles an hour. At the beginning of this race the boat Oh Kay, driven by Helen Henchel of New York, overturned while approaching the start- ing point. sustained. The second. heat of the 151 class hydroplane race was taken by Miss ‘Westchester II, owned by E. W. Ham- mond of Larchmont, N.' Y.

Georgetown University's basket ball team scored its third win in as many | starts this season when it handily de- | feated Lafayette, 47 to 24, last night in | the George Washington gymnasium. | From the outset the Blue and Gray | outclassed the Eastonians and after the first five minutes held a commanding lead. The half ended 19 to 5. George- town used a flock of substitutes once victory was assured, and against them the visitors did little if any better than against the regulars. Hal Meendn, guard, and Don Dutton, | center, led the clever short-passing | Georgetown attack. Meenan registered 15 points and Dutton 10. The Hoyas' style of play, taught by Coach Elmer Ripley, is to work the ball under the basket before shooting, and in this they succeeded admirably last night. Few of the G. U. goals were from long range. While the Blue and Gray tossers were constantly menacing the Lafayette goal, the latter was finding it a big job to get past the Georgetown defense. ! Sherwood Leads Visitors. Sherwood, guard, was the most con- slistent scorer for Lafayette, coming through with a trio of floor goals and as many from the foul line for nine points. ‘High spots were nifty shots by Johnny Scalzi, quarterback on the Blue and Gray eleven, who broke into the game at forward for a short time, and by Freddy Mesmer, dimunitive forward, In the preliminary Gedrgetown Fresh- men basketers chalked up their third win in as many starts, drubbing Western High, 22 to 12. In previous games the Hoya yearlings defeated Central and ‘Eastern High quints.

The original team scoring had Alfred first with 33 points and New York Uni« versity, which contributed the individual winner and runner-up, second, with 46, while the order of the others was La Fayette, Union, Johns Hopkins, Rutgers and Lehigh. ‘The announcement of the new award, which was made over Alfred’s protest, said: “The executive committee of this association sustains the record of the checkers provided by the designated | managers of the meet and provide that only those runners whose numbers ap- peared on all checkers' cards shall scored. “This requires the elimination of four competitors—Boulton and Zachiegner of Alfred, Schiebel of Johns Hopkins and Rothmann of Union—and _the award of the championship to New York University as a result of the sub- sequent scoring basis.” ] A.
