BRUINS AFTER GIANT FLY-HAWK BECAUSE HE CAN KNOCK BALL FARTHER THAN SECOND BASE New York National Manager Seeks Outfielder Arnold State and Pitcher Who Can La st More Than Three Innings Without Calling for Assistance. Bv DAVIS P. WAI-SH. i^|| EW YORK, Dee. I 5.—In spite of the ' I ^ I fart that John Me j Graw broke into the I prints this morn ing with a state ment to the effect that he intended to etand pat on the Giants, it is quite within range of possibility that a material change may be effected in personnel of the ball club before __. nightfall. In brief and to-wlt, the Giants are fixing to make a trade with another big league club and it is the writer s in formation that the latter is the Chi cago Cubs. The identity of the players in volved Is the sole uncertainty about the transaction, as a matter of fact. That the Giants and Cuhs have eonm j together on a player deal and are al most in accord on its terms is abso lute fact, not fancy. One man persistently mentioned in the whispers about I he proposed trade 1* Irish Meusel, a young man highly esteemed in those parts sev eral years ago, hut not regarded with any degree of managerial af fection at the moment. The Cubs are said to desire Meusel because they need a right hand hitting out fielder who can slap one further than second base. The Cuhs are total strangers with fielders who have a punch. This condition is particularly an noying because the Cubs are play ing <" games a year in a hatbox. A man with Mueael's propensity for hitting them high and far would get a lot of home runs in Chicago, whereas in New York they are canjping out near fences nmi converting his long flics into putonts. It is the writer’s under standing that Muesel Is the man the Cubs are seeking. Their outfielders ate the fast rov.ng type and the fences in Chicago are cramping their style no little. A man can’t do much roving with a concrete wall constantly nt his elbow. An outfielder and a pitcher are the men whom McGraw is believed to be seeking In return fur Meuse!. One ro port named Arnold Slatz as the out fielder in question, but whether Mc Graw has been sold on this -part of the proposition is not known. Stalz didn’t hit the size of his neck band in Chicago last year and has outworn his welcome there. He is a former Giant, however, and McGraw has established something of a reputation for esteeming ex em ployes. The enses of Heine Groh and Charley Herzog are notable expres -ions of this complex. The identity of the pitcher involved in the negotiations has not been dis closed. He Is believed, however, to he a young man who can pitch three and a half innings without calling for aid, succor and assistance, something of a novelty at the polo grounds.

C* ‘Zeke’ Roberts' Leaves School Ames, la., Dec, 5.—Deprived of "Zek-e" Roberts, star guard of last year, who left school last week, t bach Bill Chandler faces a hercu lean task of developing some one to take the place of Roberts, from a group of men that are not promising to be outstanding stars. Last season Roberts played at for ward as well as guard, during part of the Valley campaign and although he did not star from that end of the floor, his floor work was always on par with any man In the Valley. It was his work ns floor guard that made Roberts’ name In basket hall and Chandler will have a job to fill this vacancy. At the present time Fisher looks as though he would come the nearest to the job. Fisher was on the varsity squad, last year, but played forward most of the time. Chandler feels, however, that with practice, he may work in as .a floor guard and take Roberts’ place. Fi.-h ei is fast and handy with the ball but needs experience.
