Louisville, Ky., Dec. 6.—The first big deal of the minor leagues conven tion was msde today when Sammy Hale, third baseman with the Portland, (Ore.), club, a hitting and fielding sensation of the Pacific Coast league, was sold to the Philadelphia Americans for players and cash amounting to *75.000.

Hale Added sensationally last sea-i! son and batted over .365. Middleton ■<aid several clubs were bidding for Hale, but Mack outbid them. Middle ton did not know how many players would be involved. It would depend upon the amount of cash paid.

J Miller Park Grade School Soccer Team Wins Omaha Bee Tourney MILLER PA rue w on the Omaha grade school soccer champion ship for the third time in four years Tuesday afternoon by defeating Wes^ Si£e, 7 to 0. in the finals of The Oniana Bee tournament. Despite the cold, many ardent fans turret out for t^ie titular struggle, which was staged at Elmwood park. Miller Park outclassed its rivals in every department of the same and the result was never in doubt. The victors made four goals in the first half and three in the second. The Miller lads' teamwork was per feet, and the ease with wliicYi they vanquished West Side, which elimin* ated Comeniua in the semi-finale, came as a complete upset. Gene Crocker, outside l^ft, led Mil ler Pack’s attack with three goals; Irvin Nelson, renter, made two, and Glen Cackley and Harold Gross one etfeh. Members of the championship team and their respective positions follow: Irvin Nelson, center; Paul Tarter. ln.-*ldo right. Glen Cackley. outside right ; Harold Gross, inside left ; Gene Crocker, outside loft; Arthur Brown, right half; Louis Bless, left half; Donald Murtagh. center half; Marshall Farley, right fullback; Andrew Zappela. left full back, and Jack GrJdley, goal keeper. Says'Bugs* aet~i Lieu.- Hoc I or: All my letters being like Dial and end with a gong. Give The Glut his due. lie was the real champ of Rouglitown. Rut like other prodigal fat headed calves he was much mis judged. Tlie Glutt was always In wrong like a bent latch key. The Glutt cleaned out a whole barroom in Roughtnwn and only stopped when somebody stole the broom. He is willing to prove that he is the Kleagle of all the slapstickers. Yours until the Kluu KIux Kan. .1. E. ERCANBRAOK. Houston, Texas. THAT'S right. We have proof from Skipper Simmons that The Glutt's father and mother lived in Texas. The old man was an inveterate poker player and would play poker for weeks. He had a twin brother and they were born back to back. Ever since then the old inan held aces back to back and trimmed Skipper Simmons for everything ex 'cept liis beard. -And that was mort gaged to the barbers up to the handle. We now discover that The Glutt was the original stale freshman In Panic College. He stayed in college so long they had to mail hlB tomb stone to him. He was captain of all the varsity teams and once ate a cheer leader’s megaphone thinking that it was an ice cream cone. * When Panic played Grudge Col lege the first, quarter was so lough that they had to change It to nickels. The Glutt grabbed the kickoff and when he regained con sciousness there was a rainbow over the sancer of cold coffee. There was five minutes' intermis sion between quarters to allow players to change their addresses. Soup College was a great rival and played in the Bowl. There were eo many fake plays in the next period that the referee decided the quarter was counterfeit. • , The Glutt made a lateral kirk at the judge's collegiate jaw and tlie entire contents of Grudge College graduated through the nearest exit. The Glutt had two ribs broken and all his teeth were extracted hy in ternational laws. But he wasn't sat isfied as it was the first time he ever ate shredded biscuit* without cream. The Glutt had a pet turtle named Henrietta that had a slate back. He used to write messages on the tur tle's back and was the inventor of the Turtle Express. When the tur tle raced the hare in Aesop's Fa' bles. the hare beat him and got there first. So the folks had ralibit stew for dinner. Otherwise It might have been tolrtoise soup. Henrietta was no fool. HENRY SLOCUM TO LONDON. New York, Dec. b.—Henry A.
