BY BRIAN BELL. Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 19.—At least 100 ambitious young base ball piayers will drop in on base ball training camps of the - eight National League Clubs next Spring trying to break into major league box scores. A score of men Who have had trials before under the big top will be on hand for another chance and a few stars in the senior loop will be on familiar ground wearing strange uniforms. The Boston Braves, with a chance to make 19 changes in its personnel, will have the largest crop of new talent. Some critics of the Braves' base ball behavior last season may be unkind enough to say they need it. In addition to the hard-hitting Hornsby, who came to them by the trade route, the Chicago Cubs have combed the highways and hedges of the minors for the untried players and recalled a number who had been found wanting, at least temporarily, in other years. Changes of clubs as a result of trades have sent Rogers Hornsby from the Braves to the Cubs and transferred Fred Maguire, Percy' Jones, Louis Seg- get and Harry Siebold to Boston. Pitts- burgh gave -Glenn Wright to Brooklyn for Jess Petty and Harry Riconda. Tommy Thevenow will take Heinie Sands" place at shortstop for the Phillies. Cards Get Few Rookies. ‘The St. Louis Cardinals will attach fewer players to the club than any other major league outfit, but unless plans miscarry two of the infielders brought on from Cardinal farms. Short- stop Gelbert and Second Baseman Selph, will find steady jobs awaiting them. Two other new Redbirds were recalled. Mancuso, a catcher, comes from Minneapolis and Herman Bell, right-handed pitcher, from Rochester. Elliott, from Waco, and Hallahan, from Houston, are other pitchers. In addition to the four former Cubs and Catcher ‘Yanks, the Braves will be privileged to inspect the wares of many up-and-com- ing youngsters. R. B. James, a sec- ond baseman, batted .323, stole 30 bases and hit 16 home runs for Omaha last season. C. Fitzberger, a first sacker, was recalled from York, and E. B. Clark 4s on his way back from Provi- d;nce with an impressive batting mark of .373. Clarence Mueller, with Toledo, gets another chance, as does A. J.

Y s £ e ,‘fi’\ vy e Fuoning R s eien ar HOT FIGHTS PREVAIL FOR HOCKEY PLACES NEW YORK, December 19.—The battle for places in the National Hockey League standing is beginning to assume serious proportions. The Boston Bruins and Detroit Cou- gars staged a battle for second place in the American group last night that grew too heated to be settled on the ice, and Eddle Shore, Boston defense star, and Herb Lewis, Detroit center, decided to continue it in the penalty box after both had been banished for roughing The fans halted the dis- ute. o The Bruins took the decision on the ice by a 3-to-1 score and went into a tie with the Cougars for second place. They have 12 points each, 5 behind the New York Rangers. In spite of their position last night's game made the fifth straight for Detroit without a victory and the Bruins’ first win in four games. The New York Americans stayed at the top of the international group by running their winning streak to five straight at the expense of Pittsburgh. The score was 2 to 0. The Pirates put up & game struggle, sending frequent attacks at their former teammate, Roy Worters in the American goal. Howard Hicks, who lives in Ottawa, put on a brilliant display for his home folks to keep the Montreal Maroons on the Americans’ heels. Hicks was re- sponsible for the goal that beat Ot- tawa by a 2 to 1 score. With only 10 seconds to go he tricked his way through the Senators’ defense and served on a rebound. The victory gave the Maroons a total of 14 points, only two behind the group leaders. Les Canadiens of Montreal climbed up a notch in the international group standing by inflicting a 5 to 0 defeat, the worst of the season, on the Chicago Blackhawks, occupants of the league cellar. Howle Morenz, speedy center of the “Flying Frenchmen,” was a whole team himself, sooring two goals, assisting in another, and doing a good part of the defensive work. By win- ning the Canadiens moved into a tie with Ottawa for third place, a point ahead of thg idl Teoronto Leafs. LOUGHRAN IS IN DEMAND FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT CHICAGO, December 19 (#).— The heavyweight championship as- pirations of Tommy Loughran, Phil- adelphia, have surzed to a mnew height as the result of his victory over “Big Boy” Peterson, New Or- leans heavyweight, Monday night.

S the Nationals’ pitching corps. | Statistics made public today by | the American League reveal that this frailly - built hurler was the most er- fective of the pitchers in the circuit the past season in so far as yielding earned runs was concerned. Braxton topped the lot with a record of allowing but 252 earned runs per nine innings. He pite! 218 innings. However, the records also show that Braxton won but 13 games and was charged with the loss of 11. The best of the Nationals’ hurlers on a won-and- lost basis was the veteran Samuel Pond Jones. Sad Sam kicked in with 17 vic- tories and had but 7 defeats charged against him. Jones finished fifth among the pitchers on the earned-run-allow- ance basis, yielding 2.84 runs per nine | innings. Incidentally, Jones and Brax- | ton were the only members of the Na- | tionals’ staff to finish with winning | percentages better than .500. | ‘The big won-and-lost pitcher of the | circuit was Waite Hoyt of the Yankees, | who was on the good end of 23 games | and the poor end of only 7. But Waite finished twelfth in the earned-run list with an average of 3.37. For all-round pitching effectiveness, Bob Grove, the left-hand marve] of the Athletics, was the outstanding hurler of the season. He won 24 games and lost 8, had an earned run average of 2.57 and took part in 262 innings. Grove was nicked for 228 hits, 93 runs—75 of them earned—5 sacrifice hits, gave up 64 bases on balls, struck out 183, hit 1 batter and made 4 wild pitches. He pitched one extra-inning game, 4 shut- outs, 2 two-hit, 2 three-hit and 2 four- hit games and was in 24 complete games. Charley Ruffing of the Red Sox start- ed and finished the most games, 25, but three of the Nationals’ pitchers did well in this respect. Jones hurled 19 com- plete games, Irving Hadley 16 and Braxton 15. The iron man of the league was George Pipgras of the Yankees, who pitched 301 innings of base ball. He won 24 and lost 13 games and in of- fectiveness had a record of 3.38 runs per nine innings. He fanned 139 bats- men during the season and gave more bases on balls than any other, 103. BROADWAY JONES, RACER, BOUGHT BY J. K. NEWMAN LEXINGTON, Ky., December 19 (#).— Broadway Jones, victorious in the 1925 Latonia Derby, has been sold by E. R. Bradley, owner of the Idle Hour Farm here, to J. K. Newman of New York, owner of Brooknoll Farm, at West chester, Pa. The priee was not made public. Broadway Jones started 21 times and won $42,275.

The third baseman, veteran of 12 American League campaigns and of five world's was in conference with Ed Yankees' business manager, Vi y and it was com monly understood_that it had bes agreed_that since Dugan was a 10-ye: man, his unconditional release would be given. He expects to be able to land r league berth despite the fact s legs have failed him of r ss with the Philadel Athletics in 1917. He remained with the A’s until 1922, when he was traded to Boston, and still later in the same year to the Yankees, where he has been an effective defensive cog in th» machine ever since His best batting mark, .322, was set in 1920 when ne ill was with the Athletics. He batted 333 in the 1926 world serics against the St. Louis Cardinals. During the past season he was forced y injures to watch most of the games from the bench. The Yankees ard 1929. A pair of right shoulders or right elbows have no little to do with the | ‘Yankees' outlook for 1929. Thée right arms belong to Tony Lazzeri and Herb Pennock. If they are still hanging on | with the hinges working again, even the hustling’ young Athletics will have | their time taken up in hanging on. The ‘Yankees were breezing last Summer un- til Lazzeri and Pennock picked up u pair of kinks and later on one or two others, including Earl Combs, heard the clang of the hospital wagon. { If a Winter's rest has brought these | stricken athletes around, the old wagon will be able to lumber on its way again, Pennock is no kid. Neither is Babe Ruth, But the Babe is far from being a wheezy oldtimer about ready to blow. He will be out there at the blasting act | for some time yet. The Athletics may be even more for- | midable rivals this year than they were last Summer, but they are not going to win any pennant from the Yankees by chucking away entire series to their leading rivals. Grove and other pitch- ers will have to suppress the Yankees more often than they did last Summer; to have an even chance. The Athletics | should start the new season with more speed and a better ball club than they had last April, and if they once break through the Yankee hoodoo they will be | hard to curb. | The American League again looks tol be a two-club affair. Several of their rivals are expected to do much better, but the gap for the last two years has been too wide open to be closed in a season unless Pennock and Lazzeri are | unable to regain old form. Something to Talk About. Those teams claiming an unbeaten record for 1928—or the lcss of but one game—might consider the record of ‘Tennessee in this age of inconsistent and uncertain foot ball. | One defeat in three years—just one. Memphis, won a decision over Young Ritchie, New Orleans (10). team, with Dale Van Sickel, all-Ameri- can end, as alternate skipper.

A and B batteries for radio are made with equal care by The Electric Storage Battery Company, the world’s largest manufacturers of storage batteries for qvery purpose. The notable dependability of Exide Batteries, both for your car and your radio, is the result of combining the best materials with the highest engineer- ing skill. Hence the Exide is a perfectly balanced unit and certain to give you A defeat by Vanderbilt in 1926. Andif | Tennessee’s young sophomore team '} doesn’t inhale too much overconfidence and take too much for granted, it may add 1929 to this showing. What Tex Rickard would like to have at this stage is an elimination round-up that doesn't eliminate the entire cast, as it did last year where only Heeney was left. Heeney scrambled through with two or three draw decisions and no defeats, but his showing at I eliminated a yard full of paying clients. ‘The same brand of boxing and punch- ing that the entire crew put on last Winter will eliminate twice as many en- tries as they now have in sight. The’ fight fan proved that he was over- rated as a glutton for punishment. It remains to be seen how much the same | cast has improved, with only one or, | two strangers horning in.

FISH ARE BEST BAIT, INVESTIGATION SHOWS A dispatch from New York State states that a biological survey of the Finger Lakes region by experts em- ployed by the State Conservation Com- mission revealed that fish bait i: the best bait the apgler can use to increase his catch. An analysis of stomachs of fish show- ed that lake trout, pickeral and pike are exclusively fish eaters. Whitefish, yel- low perch, mountain trout and carp are also great fish eaters, although insects are also their epicurean delight.
