PUBLIC IS THE GOAT The decision of Judge Landis, re a year; but recent word is that the relapse, accompanied by high fever, has overtaken the former pitcher, straining Babe Ruth from playing the first month of the 1922 season, is a knockout blow to the theatre- going public. Babe will probably Spend that month on the stage. | | ILL KLEPPER, to whom trading is the breath of life, engineered his first big deal for Portland yes terday, whereby Herman Pillette and Sylvester Johnson, the sum total of Portland's 1921 pitching staff, go to Detroit in exchange for eight ball players and an unknown cash con sideration. Jawn McGraw added another sen- rational bit of news to his $100,000 deal for Heinie Groh, by buying Jimmy O'Cormell for $75,000. O'Con- nell’s rise in professional baseball since he left college a couple of years ago has been meteoric, and the truck- load of washers laid down for him by McGraw 1s the biggest price ever paid for a minor leaguer by the big show. ‘The Giants must have felt the need Johnson and Pillette Go to Detroit; O’Connell Is Sold of an infielder strongly, and McGraw must think the California boy has the goods; for the Giant pilot is a shrewd judge of baseball flesh, and doesn't spend his dough without get- ting value received. Johnson and Pillette are consid- ered the two most promising young pitchers in the Coast circuit in East- ern baseball circles, Walt McCredie, @ great developer of pitching talent, |considers Johnson as a sure shot | under the big tent. On the Coast the price for O'Con- neil is regarded as steep, but the club to grab the boy had to loosen the purse strings, as nearly every club in both major circuits were angling for Charley Graham's first sacker.

Those in touch with athletic activities predict that ene four schools will get what they seek. Washington has long held) aloof from the Northwest conference, but after many years at last has petitioned for admission. The principal businéss of the little convention, aside from considering applications of these schools, is the framing of football, basketball, base- ball and track schedules for next year, Most of the heat of combat will surge about the football busi- ness.
