Bosox Deal Hint in Big Swap : Pro Foot Ball Outlook Is Rosy ANCLES T TRADE | BYTRBE BRDNNS Hub Club Apt to Dicker for Vosmik, Solters, Figures in Six-Man Shift. E5 the Associated Press. LEVELAND, January 18.—In the wake of the biggest player | deal of the stove league sea- son, base ball men today spec- ulated on the chances of half a dozen | fewly transferred Indians and Browns | remaining with their new clubs. The giant trade, sending Left Fielder Joe Vosmik, Shortstop Bill Knicker- SOPHOMORE S “ocker and Pitcher Oral Hildebrand | from Cleveland to St. Louis in ex- change for Julius Solters, Lyn Lary | ! and Ivy Paul Andrews, has dia- mond critics keenly watching a pos- sible move from Boston's gold-plated | Red Sox. Since the 1936 season closed the | Red Sox have been after Vosmik, erst- | while Cleveland sandlotter, and now | Boston is expected either to renew its effort to obtain the 26-year-oi® —— or dicker with the Indians for Solters, “one-time Red Sox whom the Yawkey tnterests are said to want back. Meanwhile, from the Cleveland and Bt. Louis clubs came words of grati- | fication over the deal. *“I think o= deal will help both clubs,” said C. C. | Blapnicka, head of the Indians’ busi- ness office, “and of course I feel it will | strengthen the Indians materially.” Hornsby Sees Browns Helped. "I'M TICKLED over the swap,” de- clared Rogers Hornsby of the' Browns, known as one of the shrewdest traders in the majors. “We needed | new faces, and we got them without sacrificing any strength and obtained younger men.” | Figures for 1936 show that Knicker- bocker batted .294; Lary, .289; Vosmilk, 287, and Solters, .291. Neither Hilde- brand nor Andrews was a shining light last year. Hildebrand won 10 games and lost 11; Andrews won 7 and lost 12. Andrews had an earned- run average of 4.85; Hildebrand, 4.89. | Each pitched in 36 games, | Solters, 28, came up to the Red Sox from Baltimore in 1934. After one season, when he batted 299, he a companied a bundle of Tom Yawkey's | money to St. Louis for Oscar Melillo. - Although he batted but .291 last sea- son, “Moose” was fourth in the runs- batted-in column, with 134, Lary, described by Slapnicka as “by all odds the best defensive shortstop in the league,” topped the American in stolen bases last year with 37. He hit 289 and fielded .956, compared with Knickerbocker's 294 and .952. Trade Pleases Hildebrand. PLAYE'RS involved in the deal dis- played contrasting reactions to the shift. From Indianapolis, Hilde- brand said today that he had been dissatisfled with his treatment at| Cleveland and had anticipated he| would be traded. “I was used mainly in relief roles while with Cleveland, and I'm look- ing forward to getting a regular turn on the mound while with the Browns,” he said. “I understand Hornsby is| tough, but I don't expect to have any trouble at St. Louis.” The lanky pitcher, who learned the * fundamentals of base ball at South- port High School and Butler Univer- | sity, has kept in shape at his home near here by hunting and fishing. Solters, interviewed at his home in Pittsburgh, said he believed the trade was “a pretty good deal for myself.” “I believe Cleveland has a pretty good chance to win the pennant,” he | * added, and, asked if he thought he ‘would continue as a left fielder for the | Indians, Solters replied: “T reckon I will.” Vosmik, whose home i in Cleve- land, said: ° “Naturally, I don't like to leave Cleveland, but that sort of thing is| ell in the game. I'll be giving Hornsby i the best I've got.” | -— COLLEGE FIVES SUFFER Illness Checks Kiesel, G. W‘—Kel-{ ler, Terps, Hurts Wrist.

"POPPING OFF Ytan~ Chain-Store Triumph HE ranking of Joe Engel from his chief executive's chair at Chattanooga and his installa- tion as general manager of the Washington Ball Club's newly created “farm system” seems to accentuate the futility of trying to disregard the inroads of chain-store base ball. Clark Griffith, you see, has been frowning on similar set-ups by the Cardinals, Yankees and Tigers for a number of years. The old gentleman was one who firmly believed that base ball's healthiest condition was for minor league clubs to be independent- ly owned and thus able to sell their products to the highest bidders. The economic depression spoiled any chance of this Utopian state of affairs. Back in 1929, when there were no less than 48 minor leagues operating in the country, an extensive “farm” | system was not decreed necessary by | big league clubs. Then, when times became hard, the minor leagues laid | their cards on the table and told major league club owners that unless they took over some of the teams the circuits would have to disband. Engel Now in Spolight. In fact, the total of minor and major loops shrank to 12 at one time. Big league ciubs which did no: come to the rescue of the smaller circuits found ball players hard to get. The most desirable were “tied u| they were informed. Even toda with more than 25 minor loops functioning, it is necessary to establish a chain- | store system, and thus Griffith falls into line in self-protection. Engel, as the man in charge of Chattanooga and intrusted with the responsibility of feeding young talent to the Lookouts, as well as such smaller auxiliaries as Jacksonville, Sanford and Trenton, now becomes an important figure to Washington fans again. He was important in Chattanoogs, of course, but when he was down there the colorful gent seemed a man apart, because of his somewhat in- direct affiliation with the Nationals. Engel's career as a scout, in which capacity he served before taking over the presidency of Chattanooga, presents a singular story in base ball annals. Most scouts start their careers as middle-aged, former stars. When Engel started he neither was middle- aged nor a former star. In fact, after a promising first year with Washing- ton as a pitcher, he was a very poor | ball player. He had a good fast ball and plenty of stuff, but he had dif- ficulty in keeping his pitches inside of the parks and his tenure as a | major leaguer was brief. Was Literal Boy Scout. E LANDED his job with Griffith chiefly because the Old Fox felt sort of grateful for Engel's recom- mending Catcher Pat Gharrity from | Minneapolis. At the time Engel was pitching in the American Association, but he was washed up shortly after- ward and turned scout. He sent a scout's quota of dead ones to Griff during the course of his scouting. But he also uncovered enough stars to wring from his boss a testimonial to the effect that Joseph was the best scout in base ball. This is an opinion Griff retains today. From the International League Engel unearthed a skinny little sec- ond baseman, named Stanley Harris. From the Three-Eye League came Ossie Bluege. From the Southern Association came Sammy West, Buddy Myer, Cecil Travis, Buddy Lewis and Fred Marberry. From the American Association he recommended Joe Kuhel and shipped a gawky infielder, named Joe Cronin. From out on the Pacific Coast he engineered the purchase of Earl, Mc- Neely, the sparkplug who insured the 1924 pennant and who starred in the ‘world series victory over the Giants. He Can't Pick Pitchers. A RECORD at which to point with pardonable pride is this and, if there is any doubt at all in Griff’s mind as to Engel’s capabilities, it is Joe's lack of a penchant for picking pitchers. It is noted, in scanning the list of Engel’s “finds,” that omly one pitcher was 3 b | And even when he spotted Marberry | | the one-time pitcher was not sure of himself and wired Griff to come | | down to Little Rock and look over Firpo for himself. | Scouting infielders brought Engel | his chief fame, although his quali- | | fications as a judge of inflelders is | mystifying. It was a wire from Engel that caused Griff personally to scout Harris. All by himself did Engel ship Bluege, Cronin, Travis and Lewis to the Nationals and he recom- mended the purchase for $65,000 for Kuhel. | Contrary to the popular story, Engel did not insist upon the purchase of McNeely for $50,000.

When he learned the price on | | Earl was fifty grand he refused to | sanction the buy outright. “Come out | and look him over yourself,” said Joe by long-distance telephone to Griff. “Don’t pay $50,000 on my say-so.” | + | C * BETTERGRDLOP | SURE AR CLAIS All Clubs to Be Stronger, Play to Improve, Says League’s Leader.

BY JOE CARR, National Professional Ball League, OLUMBUS, Ohio, January 18 | {#) —Professional foot ball | a\tendance during the last| year increased more than 20 | per cent over the mark set the pre- | vious year, which we consider highly ‘ encouraging and even better than the increase noted in other sports. The improvement in individual per- | formances and the increased effec- | tiveness of our rules, tending to en- | courage the offense, probably phyedl a big part in this increase in popular favor of the National Foot Ball League. There was not a single individual | peformance which did not exceed the | previous year’s record, and practically | every team in the circuit gained more ground than in 1935. President, Foot Two New Records Set. TWO new records were established, | by Arnold Herber and Don Hutson, both of Green Bay. Herber set a new forward-passing mark of 77 com- pleted passes for 1239 vards. Hut- son, in catching 36 passes, also set a new high mark in that specialty. It was a year in which many new players came into the league and made good, especially in the case of Tuffy Leemans of the New York Giants, | who led the league in his first season by gaining 830 yards. The stars ol the past were not totally eclipsed by any means, since Dutch Clark of De- troit again led the scorers.

It is the first time Green | Bay has won the Ed Thorp Trophy in the four years it has been in com- petition.

He's a local boy, incidentally, this Engel. His dad was an innkeeper once running & bar on Pennsylvai avenue and popping the buttons off his vest when he spoke of “My poy, | Choe,” while the Engel heir was pitch- | | ing for Washington. Papa Engel had | {a small scoreboard installed in his| inn and soon newspaper men learned that he was willing to “set 'em up on the house” whenever Engel pitched & scoreless inning and an “0" was chalked up. This quickly led to the boys sys- tematically informing Papa Engel that Joe was pitching when, in reality, Walter Johnson was work- ing. Back in 1912 and 1913 Walter was | pitching a lot of scoreless innings— | and papa’s pride in “Choe” cost him plenty in treats.

It is this face tor on which we base our hopes for developing new patrons. The rules, as now constituted and differing somewhat from the college code, have proven eminently satise factory in giving the offense a slight advantage over the defense, and there is not much prospect that we will make many changes in the playing code. Forward passing from any point behind the line of scrimmage, rune ning with a fumbled ball, and pute | ting the goal posts on the goal line | have opened up our game, and to. a great extent, done away with tie games. There have been but three in the past two seasons of league play under these rule changes. Franchises Are Sought. AT PRESENT, three cities are ap- plying for franchises in our league. So there is every possibility that additions may be made before the start of the 1937 season. In any event, a balance may be possible between the East and the West, which at present finds four clubs in the Western division and five in the East. Action on these franchise applica- tions will be taken at our annual meeting in Pebruary in Chicago.
