Only Branch Rickey of the
neighboring Cardinals is the equal
of Hornsby in appraising baseball
talent. It is significant that Rick-
ey taught Hornsby.
In the winter’s biggest deal, the
Browns gave Cleveland Lyn Gary
Julius Solters and Ivy Paul An-
drews for Bill Knickerbocker, Joe
Vosmik and Oral Hildebrand.
Personally I would not have
traded Knickerbocker for the oth-
er five. If the Detroit Tigers and
New York Yankees had suspected
that Cyril C. Slapnicka had the
slightest intention of disposing of
Knickerbocker, the old scout now
in charge of these rash moves on
the part of the Indians, easily
could have engineered a much
more favorable swap. As a mat-
ter of fact, a couple or three legs

Cleveland yields its finest trad-

who repeatedly have been tried

the Tribe won't be offered a

If the switching ends with the
announcement, Slapnicka should

Lary hasn’t a stroke, and won’t
be a good hitter If he remains
active for another 10 years. In
eight seasons in the American
League, Lary’s batting average
is .272. In half that time, Kincker-
bocker’s mark Is .293. Lary is ex-
ception as base-runner, but he
can’t steal first base. Outside of
speed and knack on the hassocks
the shortstop leaving Cuyahoga
county is Lary’s equal in every
department, and he is six years
younger than his fellow Califor-
nian and bigger and *tronger.

With Pet* Pettigrew setting the
pace, Olson's Terrible Swedes put
on a last half scoring spree and
defeated the classy Hunt Ollers at
the Auditorium here Friday night.
The final tally was 34-32.
Pettigrew, a husky six-footer
with an Mgle-eye for the basket,
got hotter than the proverbial de-
pot stove and rang up 16 points
In the last half to lead the famous
Swede* to victory. He hit the hoop
from all angles and hi* uncanny
■hooting pushed the Olson quint
ahead about mid-way in the second
half with a lead they never again
lost.
Moody Johns was the big noise
In the Oiler*’ flrat half attack that
found them leading at haytime 16-
5. For a while in the early part of
the game John* couldn’t ml** and
rang up five field goal* In rapid
fire order. He tallied three more
field goals in the last heat and
■hared high acoring honor* with
Pettigrew.
The inability of Freddie Tomp-
kins, Hunt’s southpaw sinker, to
find the range ot the basket proved
costly to the Oiler*. Tompkin* or-
dinarily is the high scorer of the
Hunt quint but last night was held
closely under cover and failed to
■core a field goal. 8ix gift shot*
were th* only contribution of the
Big' George Campbell ot the
Swede* played a stellar gam* and
scored nine point* for second hon-
ors. The six foot, eight Inch vet-
eran played a great floor game and

GASTONBEATEN or
BYRUSKFRI.
RUSK, Tex., Jan. 22.—The Gas-
ton Red Devils opened the second
half of their conference schedule
here tonight In a game with the
Rusk Eagles, in which they were
on the smaller end of a 19 to 8
score. The game was played un-
der a terrific handicap to the boys
as the gym in which they played
was a frame building In which the
temperature hovered right around
the freezing point all during the
game. The player*’ hands were *o
cold that it was difficult for them
to handle the ball.
High point honors for the even-
ing went to Payne, diminutive Es-
kimo forward for th* Ruak five,
who rang the bell for a total of 8
points. He was closely pressed by
his team-mate at the center po*t,
McGee, who made 7 point*.
Thi* set-back to the Devil*
give* them a rating of two game*
won and four lost, an average of
winning one-third of their gamea.
Next Tuesday the Red Devil* will
play the Henderson Lions at the
Gaston gymn, in the second game
of the last half of the conference
schedule.

Whiskers has never lost a match
in Henderson or very few any-
where for that matter, since he
started scufflin’ about two yean

grappler in th* business by any
means but can take all th* punish-
ment most anybody can dish out
■nd his b'ar hug hold rarely fails
to work once he gets his giant
arm around an opponent.
Promoter T. D, Griffin signed
this match at the request of fan*
who have been clamoring for
somebody to beat McCleary since
his first appearance here. The
Irisher is about the dirtiest grap-
pler ever scan in th* local ring
and th* cash customers want to
see him licked.
Promoter Griffin stated that
getting these grappler* together
was no easy task and that he wa*
was forced to pay a much larger
guarantee than usual. Thus he is
forced to suspend th* pas* list
for thl* week’s card, with no ex-
ceptions.
In th* supporting match will b*

The Henderson High eagers
were handed one of their worst
lickings of the season at Fair
Park Auditorium Friday night
when they bowed to Nacogdoches
in an East Texas League game,
7-to-30. The game was played as
a preliminary to the Hunt-Swede
game.
The Lions were helpless at the
hands of the classy Dragon quint
and never got started. That they
were no match for the visitors
from the Friendly City is seen in
the field goal column where only
one tally is credited for the Lions.
In the entire first half the Lions
made but one point to 15 for the
Dragons.
The defeat • was the sixth
straight for the Lions in as many
conference starts. Their next game
will be played at Garton Tuesday
night.
Pacing the Dragons in their
victory were Roquemore and
Campbell. The latter, a rangy
center with an expert eye, tallied
12 points. Hawkins, ace of the
Dragon quint, played a stellar
game until ejected via the per-
sonal foul route.

BY HENRY McLBMORE
SARASOTA, Fla., Jan. 28 (UP)—Sammy Byrd, who is
much more at home on the fairway than he ever was when
patrolling the outfield for the Yankees and the Reds, shot his
second sub-par round in three days today to take an 11
stroke lead over the field at the 54 hole mark of the baseball
players national golf tournament.♦ ------------- ------■'»
Byrd, at the top of his game
from tee to green, toured the
Bobby Jones course in 70, one
i under par, despite heavy showers,
for a three round total of 214. He
was out in 36 and hpme in 34. A
similar score on the wind-up to-
morrow and his total will break
Wes Ferrell’s winning score of
■ last year by 28 shots.
With Byrd, a cinch for the
Powell Crosley trophy, major in-
, terest tomorrow will center on
■ the battle for second money.
At the end of today’s firing,
which was followed by an en-
thusiastic gallery of some 300,
three pitchess—Paul Derringer of
the Reds, Lloyd Brown of the In-
dians, and Garland Braxton of
the Milwaukee Brewers —■ were
tied for second place with 225’s.
Each shot 76 today.
Derringer spoiled his chance of
gaining outright possession of
second place by missing three one-
foot putts.
“I was cutting the corners of
the cup all day,” he explained.
One stroke behind the three
flingers was Paul Waner, Pitts-
burgh’s National League batting
. champion. Paul slumped to 77
today, and most of his misery
cams on the short 16th hole when
( he went three over par with a
I robust-six.
L “'I fouled the first one, bunted
‘ the second one, laid down a sac-
rifice with the third one, and
, then took three strikes on the
green,” Paul said in describing
the sixteenth.
Wes Ferrell, defending cham-
pion, shot a 75 today for a total
’ of 228. The brave souls who fol-
lowed him around reported that
' he brke but six clubs over his
knees. In three days Ferrell,
whose temper is that of an acidu-
' lous prima donna, has demolished
1 three sets of wooden clubs.
1 Jack Russell of the Red 8ox
1 had 77 for 229. Heinie Manush
! followed Russell with a 231, and
’ behind him Jerome Herman
■ (Dizzy) Dean. Dean shot an 81
! today for 234. He said the slump
f was caused by the failure of his
’ wife, Pat, to follow him around.
1 ‘‘She followed me yesterday,”
’ Dizzy said, ‘‘and I had a 75. To-
> day she backed down and the lack
■ of loyalty hurt me ao deeply L
--couldn’t hit a thing.”
Mrs. Dean was not in earshot
when Dizzy made his explanation.
