NEW BRITAIN MACHINE CO. BOWLERS IMPROVE CHAMPIONSHIP CHANCES WITH THREE IN MANY OF SPORT ARE FETED AT A BANQUET IN PHILADELPHIA — HARRY GREB RETAINS HIS LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE — EAGLES AND COMETS WIN GAMES YANKS GET PENNOCK FROM THE RED SOX McMillan, Murray and suuuer‘ Are Swapped loffv_el_eran Hurler New York, Jan, 81.—The Yankees got Piteher Herb Pennoek from the Red Sox yesterday in one of the most one-sided trades in the histery of th American league. In return for the veteran Loston southpaw the Yanks handed or Goorge Murray, right-handed pitcher; Norman McMillan, third baseman and outfielder, and Camp Skinner, out- fielder., Needless to say, no money was passed over to Harry [razed Either Murray or MeMillan is as valuable as the aging Pennock and Skinner 15 not far behind In other words, the Yanks nearly three times as much ) got and did not find it necessary to cross Frazee's palm with silver, They gave a good right-hander for a good | southpaw and tossed in two promis- ing youngsters to boot. I'r J ] still the David Harum eball traders. | The Pennock trade is the first in a| general reorganization of the -~ Yanks. With five veteran right-handers and one tried and true southpaw on their| staff the Colonels are now ready fo proceed with that trade for Eddie‘ Collins. They have balked at in- cluding Waite Hoyt in the deal, but| there is a good chanee now that the| youthful Flatbusher will be shipped | to Chicago and Columbia Eddie brought to the new Yankee Stadium in a New York uniform. i Collins Deal Still Pending. | As part of this deal Aaron Ward, Bob Meusel and Hoyt will be traded | for Collins, Outfielder Bob Falk and Pitcher Charley Robertson of “‘per- fect game” fame. Negotiations are still very much alive, and Colonel| Jaboe Ruppert said erday that| the two clubs will get together again at the February American league ‘meeting in Philadelphia. The Yanks now feel that Hoyt can be spared.| With a pitching staff consisting of | Bush, Shawkey, Mays, Jones, Rob- ertson and Pennock, with Collins at second base and Falk in left field, Huggins would have the best team that he has ever had in New York. The Yanks were the first to admit | yesterday that the Pennock trade was a trifie lopsided, but they justified | their action by pointing out that Pennock will be of more immediate vnh’x'hthan the three youngsters. e worst trade the Yanks ever made,” said one of the club officials. “That is, if you take it by and large, in its broader aspects. But we are figuring on the coming season. The Yanks need a left-hander badly if they are to win another pennant. Murray, Skinner and McMillan would| not be of much use to us this year,| for the simple reason that there is| no room in the ilne-up for them. So we are sacrificing future prospects for the immediate season. | “Huggins was consulted about the| trade. I talked with him over the| long-distance phone, and he approved the trade. He said that Pennock ought to win fifteen games for the Yanks next season, and he repeated what I have said about our three players—that none of them would be of much use next season. | *‘Murray is a first-rate pitcher,’ Huggins told me. ‘But he would| only sit on the bench next year. 1 have enough right handers now—all I need. The staff needs a left hand- er of experience.’ " ‘With the exception of two prief trips to the minors Pennock has been in the major leagues 10 years. o gave st is 29 years old and first broke in \vlthi the Athletics in April of 1813. In June, 1915, he was released on waiv- ers to the Red Sox, who sent and then recalled him in the same month. The southpaw was released again to Buffalo on option in July, 1916, and recalled by Boston in Au- gust. ever since. Last season, with an eighth place club, Pennock pitched in 32 games, won 10 and lost 17—a record no- where near as good as Joe Bush and | league for $75,000 by the New Yor Sam Jones made at Boston the year before.
