FARRELL 'N answer to persistent reports that Rogers Hornsby, the = 1 192%, ® ] gevccccccscccece National league’s most valuable player, is to be traded dur- ing the winter meetings of the major leagues, the St. Louis i club owners reply, with emphasis, that Hornsby will play with the Cards or not at all. : With the chance of putting over a deal involving Hornsby that would make a strong pennant contender out of the Cards, the St. Louis owners would be foolish to get stubborn an take the long means of showing the dissatisfied Hornsby that he is not his own boss. J Hornsby cannot play his best ball when he is on the outs fi with Branch Rickey, manager of the club, and even at hig best he will never make a pennant winner out of the Cards. Considering that there is good foundation for the general si belief that the New York Giants are no longer the dominating lad power of the National league, the Cards have a good chance to strengthen their team and get into the race by disposing ¢ of Hornsby for players. to The Card owners have some fancy Sdeas about the value of Hornsby, but they are right. In arranging « r the star second baseman,A @:: 0 the Cards are right in assuming that the question is not so much how valuable he is to the St. Louis team as how much he would be worth 8 to several other teams out of which he might make a pennant winner, av In Pittsburgh, Chicago or Cincinnati Hornsby might come pretty close ta to being the difference between the pennant. eee If he ts sincere in his dostre to bf LAMING him for having kept| fight Dempsey, Wills certainly must him away from his long-desired| prove that he ts a competent chal- bao match with Jack Dempsey for the |lenger by listening a little more when he heavyweight championship fight, | promoters are offering him Battling wh Barry Wills is making good the/Siki, Jack Renault, Floyd Johnson, my threat that he would never again|George Godfrey and some more of He IN THIS Oye box under the promotion of Tex/|the second-raters, ANSWER ME o 7m y, Rickard. eeu i ( Le, Pf Wills, perhaps, may figure that R® TLY the New York Boxing the yr ra Rickurd had something to do with commission admitted that {t had on arranging the heavyweight program |found no effective way of forcing tig last summer without giving Wills “|champion fighters to defend their to place on any of the bills.
