SPORTS. | ~ N NEW YORK ROSY Nat Boss to Get to Market Early—Harris Also Goes BY FRANCIS E. STAN. Py 2 LARK Griffith goes to do his ‘ Washington ball club today, joining the caravan of big New York hotel lobbies, where the 1937 American and National League As alert as the majority of other major league bosses to the fact that to Major Meetings. Christmas shopping for the feague club owners in the march on ‘pennants may well be decided. New York's Yankees set a record by ¢ ‘winning the flag last season by 193 games, Griffith left early this morning to inspect the lay of the land two days before the annual meetings of the big leagues officially start. The mart will open on Tuesday and last through Thursday. " Grifith's presence at the confab hardly is expected to draw the na- tional spotlight on the Nationals, in- asmuch as the center of attention probably will be focused on Judge K. ‘M. Landis, for a long-waited decision on the Bob Feller case. Nevtreheless and despite a dearth of trading ma- m terial, the Washington prexy prob- ably will cut a bigger figure at the forthcoming confab than he did a year “ago in Chicago, when he flourished his ‘wares and returned empty-handed. A year ago, however, the American Yeague flag winner did not breeze “home by 19'; games to threaten a monopoly on the pennant for at least another year. Thanks to the Yankees ‘of 1936, Griffith may find other club owners far more receptive to his offers. “For the first time in years the Ameri- can League may steal the bulk of the headlines from the National League. Harris Starts Angling. E Washington club, admits Grif- ¥ fith, needs & first-string catcher and at least one pitcher. For almost & _week now Manager Bucky Harris has ‘been hobnabbing with other American ‘League managers and owners, both at “the minor league meeting in Montreal and in New York, where he today is “awaiting the arrival of Griffith. So far, at least as far as is publicly known, Harris has accomplished noth- ing definite, but those close to the Nationals feel that Harris may well *+ have laid the groundwork for a deal or two and that he and the Old Fox will complete at least one trade. All signs to date point for Wash- “dngton’s would-be traders to concen- trate on the Western representatives in search of player talent. If any- thing, the Nationals' catching situa- tion is more acute than the pitching, and popular rumor has it that Griff and Bucky will seek out Rogers Horns- by of the Browns and Steve O'Neill » v -of the Indians in an attempt to lure ® for taking a “powder - . & catcher. Griffith and Harris last year at- tempted to lure Frankie Pytlak from Cleveland and failed. Actually the deal fell through by only the nar- rowest of margins, and if they reopen negotiations for the little Tribe back- stop with the same vigor it is felt there is a chance for Pytlak to wind up in & Washington uniform. Rollie Hemsley of St. Louis seems to be the only other first-string catch- er whom Washington has a chance to land. Griffith is not too keen on Hemsley because of his extra-curricu- lar activities, but the fact remains that when Rollie feels like playing ball, which never seems to be for a sustained stretch, he is rated by fel- low ball players, at least, as the best in the American League. Bolton on Block. 'LIFF BOLTON, the regular Nat catcher, definitely seems to be on the trading block. Tjpeo stocky Tar- Jheel never has been forgiven by Griff " last September and going home while the Nationals were In the thick of the fight for sec- ond place. Whether any other club “wants to gamble on Bolton doing the _same thing to it remains to be seen. It is doubtful. Carl Reynolds, Jesse Hill and Buck | |land, Chicago and Detroit in the Newsom probably will be the other local names to figure most prominent- ly in trade talk and in rumors. Only in the outfielding department are the Griffmen well stocked and able to spare a player. Newsom, claims Griff, is not going to be waved under the noses of other managers and club owners, but if anybody makes a rea- sonable offer for the big South Car- olinian, it will be weighed carefully. ‘When Griff and Harris start look- ing for pitchers, they are likely to drop Cleveland and seek somebody from the Browns, Tigers and White Box. Jimmy Dykes of the Chicagos wants to trade Johnny Whitehead, and has said s0. Griff so far has refused to comment on how the prospect of grabbing Whitehead intrigues him. Dykes will want an infielder for ‘Whitehead, in all probability. There is no telling who among the Tiger staff is on the block, at least not at this early date. As for the Browns, you generally can have anybody you want. It's just a question of handing across the ‘price that Hornsby de- mands. Usually Rogers is very glad to give up somebody like Russ Van Atta or Ivy Andrews or Jack Knott for the small total of a catcher, two infielders, an outfielder and half in- # terest in Griffith Stadium. He is like Griff that way. —_— GEORGETOWN CHURCH BASKET BALL LOOP \ G.F. Cleme'tson.t H. Beatty, J. Bass, EEEETReNY - I N askSacs! | moome | ©| coomssws; 5 Totals ___13 BoenteHiashe Peck, 23; 8t.

BY the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, December 5.—The base ball market shifted from Montreal to Forty-second street today as officials rolled their hopes and problems South for the major league meetings. Officially the meetings do not start until Tuesday, but most of the club owners and managers were around singing the praise of players they went to get rid of. | The possibility that Commissioner ‘Lnndls would declare Bob Feller of | the Cleveland Indians a free lgent‘ |and that the St. Louis Cardinals would trade Dizzy Dean still domin- ated the conversation. A difference of around $150,000 was holding up the Dean-to-Cincinnati | deal, according to one high official. | It seemed evident Dean would be sent to the Rhineland if and when | the Reds are willing to add $150,000 | worth of ball players to their offer of $200,000 in cash. As for the Feller case, the gen- eral - opinion was that Landis’ deci- sion would rest on the action the | majors take on the “Baltimore amend- | ment.” This amendment, already | passed by the minors, permits scouts | and representatives of all ball clubs to recommend players to teams of | lower classification without losing the | | right later to buy these players, Move to Affect Feller Case. 'HIS ruling, in spirit though not in letter, relaxes the much-dis- cussed major-minor league agree- | ment, which the Cleveland club is ialleged to have broken in sfgning Feller. If the majors also pass the amend- ment the experts predict Landis will uphold the Indians' right to keep | Feller. Trading probably will be dominated by the Giants, Cubs, Pirates and Reds in the National League and by Cleve- American. The Giants, needing support in the infield and behind the bat, are dan- gling Hank Leiber before the other National League clubs. They already have offered Leiber, Gus Mancuso and Hal Schumacher to the Cubs for Frank Demaree, Bill Lee and Ken O’Dea, without getting anywhere. ‘The Reds hope to get Dean without giving up their present ace pitcher, Paul Derringer.

URTHER evidence that Joe Di | Maggio of the Yankees and | Jack Bell of the Browns richly deserved their rating as among of the 1936 season was forthcoming today when in a release from the American League Service Bureau, it was disclosed that Di Mag and Bell | were among the nine players who ac- | cumulated more than 200 hits. Playing their first full seasons in | the big show, Di Maggio and Bell joined | that small number of American League batsmen to get 200 or more hits in their initial year. ~Among their predecessors are Earle Combs, Dale Alexander, Roy Johnson and Hal Trotsky. Earl Averill of the Indians led the | American League in most hits, getting | 232. It was the second time Averill had beaten the 200 mark. Charley Gehringer of the Tigers was second with 225 hits, getting ‘n the class for | the sixth time: Lou Geh ig was in for | the seventh time and Trotsky for the | second. In addition to Bell and Di Maggio, others making 200 hits for the first time were Ray Radcliff and Luke Appling of the White Sox, with 207 and 204, respectively, and Wally Moses of the Athletics, 202. Biggest Inning Has 12 Runs. ONLY six American Leaguers made 200 or more hits in 1935, the same number as turned the trick in 1934, The big six of 1935 were Gehringer, Buddy Myer, Joe Vosmik, Roger Cramer; Julius Solters and Hank Greenberg. The latter never had a cl to repeat, because of his acci- dent early in the season, and Myer was out most of the year. That 12 runs were the most scored by any one American League club in any inning also was disclosed. Bos- ton was the sole team to turn the trick when it defeated Detroit on July 25. There were three 1l-run innings, Boston against Philadelphia, New York against Detroit and Cleve- 1and against Chicago. There was one tend the minor league sessions, but is expected here next week. A deal be- tween the Indians and the Browns, in which Rollie Hemsley, Outfielder Julius Solters and Shortstop Lyn Lary would go to Cleveland for Outfielder Joe Vosmik, Frankie Pytlak and Roy fiughes, is said to be under considera- lon. The Tigers are said to be using Out- fielders Al Simmons and Goose Goslin in their trading conversations and there is a rush for the contract of Johnny Whitehead, supposed to be on his way out at Chicago. The White Sox have their eyes on Gerald Walker of the Tigers and Chet Laabs of the Milwaukee Brewers. The American League meeting also 1s expected to reveal which clubs will inning in which the Yankees scored 10 times against Chicago and another in which the Tigers counted that many against Philadelphia. ‘Washington scored nine runs in an inning twice, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia each once. Detroit scored eight runs in an inning twice, while Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Washington did it once. MORGAN IS HIGH GUN Cracks 45 Targets in Shoot at ‘Washington Club. R. D.

'HICAGO, December 5.—Dick Sie- bert, Indianapolis first baseman, won batting honors for the American Association play-offs with an average of 500 in 10 games, official circuit statistics showed today. The Indians won 5 and lost 5§ games in the series captured by the Milwaukee Brewers. Siebert got 20 hits in 40 trips to the plate, 6 of them doubles. He struck out only once. | George Detore of ,the Brewers also hit .500, but got into only 6 games and was at bat but 18 times. Bob Boken, St. Paul, batted 476 in five games, and Oscar (Ox) Eckhardt of Indianapolis had an average of .385 in 10 contests. The club batting title was won by Indianapolis with a mark of .303, the Indianan pounding out 109 hits in 360 trips. The Brewers finished second with a team average of .292, In team flelding, Kansas City, which won no games in four starts, topped the four | clubs with a mark a .980. Luke Hamlin of Milwaukee and Vance Page of Indianapelis topped play-off hurlers, each holding a record of three victories and no defeats. Clyde Hatter, Milwaukee, won two games and lost none, as did Art Hev- ing, also of the Brewers. GAMES ARE ONE-SIDED —_ ‘Westminster, Flashes and Calvary Victors in’ League.

'Spindel of Seajtle, Still Un- | sold, Accounted Fine Young Backstop. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. L PASO, Tex, December 5.— Major league scouts, summing up the results of their season’s safaris through the bush, re- port only four minor league catchers worthy of immediate advance to the big time, and three of those already are snared. Arnold Owen has been brought up from Columbus by the parent St. Louis Cardinals; George Tebbetts, from Beaumont, is the prop- erty of Detroit; Gene De Sautels has been recalled from San Diego by the Red Sox, but Hal Spindel of Seattle still is available to the highest bidder. Owen was a standout in his first season in the American Association, and, despite limited professional ex- perience, led the league in batting through a large portion of the 1936 season. Rangy and fast, the Cardinal bosses gave thought to converting the | boy into a shortstop but, after a few days’ trial on the infield, returned him to his preferred position. | Cards Hold Owen High. THE Cardinals are reported to have put a price tag of $100,000 on | young Owen, who is & cousin of De- troit’s third baseman, and that in- | dicates Branch Rickey wants the man | for his own use. The Cardinals have | been exceptionally fortunate in de- | veloping fine young catchers on their | Columbus farm. With practically every major club searching frantical- | ly for catchers and willing to pay a | high price for the same, the Cards have come up with four in as many seasons. st there was Bill De- lancey, who supplanted Spud Davis as regular catcher in 1934 and starred in the world series. Next Kenny | O'Dea, who was sold to the Cubs; then Brusie Ogrodowski, who did a lot of | catching for St. Louis last Summer, | and now Owen. Every scout has put the stamp of approval on Tebbetts, the youngster | who may become Detroit's first stringer next season if Mickey Coch- rane is unable to resume regular work. Tebbetts gave a fine account of him- | selt with the Tigers after coming up | from Texas late in September and is said to know all the tricks of his trade. | He is a good mechanic behind the | plate, has a strong arm and is smart as a whip. Tebbetts is not rated much ‘of a batter, but if he can handle the | other details of his position, a modest | hitting percentage will not keep him | out of the Tiger line-up. i De Sautels Experienced. DE SAUTELS had previous major league trials after finishing at Holy Cross College, and did not find his real stride until last season, when | he did outstanding work for San | Diego. Along with Bobby Doerr, sec- | ond baseman of the Padres, De| | Sautels will be one of the outstanding | |recruits in the Boston camp next | Spring and is expected to supply Rick | B—15 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR GEORG!.‘I‘OWN‘S foot ball team has left for New Orleans where it will close its season against Tulane University. Ac- companying the full squad of players were Father Creedon, faculty supervisor of athletics; President Lawler of the athletic association, Manager Egan, Gradue« ate Manager Charley Cox, Coach Exendine, Physical Director John O'Reilly and Percy Given, star center at Georgetown years ago. Official flelding averages of the American League show Washing- ton finished sixth, the probable reason for the team's drop in the league standings. In previous year the Nats' brilliant fielding has held up the team despite its weak hitting. Eddy Gharrity, however, was the second best flelding catcher in the league. An effort will be made by the New York Giants to coax Tilly Shafer, former third baseman, out of retirement. Although the grind of playing every day would be too much fer Tilly, McGraw would like to have a capable reserve on hand for his regular infield of Zimmerman, Fletcher, Herzog and Holke. catcher, but, if not, he likely will be picked up during the minor or major league meetings. Other catchers are being brought up from the minors, but outstanding backstops still are a scarce commodity and none of the field compares with Owens, Tebbetts, De Sautels or Spindel.

WESTMINSTER, Md, December 5 (A.—With the loss of only two veterans, the basket ball team of Western Maryland is practicing for the opening of the season December 9.
