Fact That Branch Rickey Declined to Discuss Rogers ^ith
Bill Killefer and McKechnie, Respective Manager of
Cubs and Pirates at Recent Baseball Meeting Proof
That McGraw “Knows Something,” Says Walsh—Other
Trades Pending. '
By DAVIS J. WALSH
3T ' YORK, Dec. 17.—Our Mr. McGraw is due to arrive
in this country on Friday aboard the Leviathan and
among others, the Hornsby matter after these many
weeks, will be disinterred forthwith and without
further preamble, prelude or ceremony. Gentlemen
of the press in this particular community die with
their epncils poised.
They can see nothing else beyond the prospect
of Hornsby taking up a permanent residence at the
Polo grounds and cite the fact that Branch Rickey
declined to discuss the player with Bill Killefer and
Bill McKechnie, respective managers of the Cubs
and Pirates, at the recent Chicago meetings, as proof
positive that McGraw "knows something." Baseball
men in general are of the same opinion, some of
them even going so far as to intimate that the
transfer in question already has been effected.
MruUWI and Kickey had a two
hour conference at the Wal
dorf just prior to John's de
. parture for Europe and it was at
‘ this meeting that the business is
■ said to have been closed. Menials
have been issued by botli parties;
Tin fact, MeGraw went on record as
‘having lost interest in Hornsby,
-but the boys would have it other
wise.
• Another report Is that MeGraw
!wifl get George Bums and a first
'string pitcher from the Beds with
-the idea of offering them with oth
ers, to the Cardinals for the great
'Rogers.
■ The Cincinnati trade, If any, Is said
to involve the passing of Bill South
.Tork, Hornsby, or no HornSby. One
worth to tlio Hetls. In tills case Burns
most certainly would remain In New
of the rules of baseball la that a man
ager must place nine men In the
field, and McGraw cannot oblige
without a centerfielder.
Meanwhile the Giants propose to
engage In a two-handed duel with the
Yankees in an ^effort to skim the
cream from the American association
and the coast league fields, now that
the two organizations have accepted
the modified draft. Emmett McCann,
an lnfielder with the Portland club, to
alleged to be one of McGraw's ob
jectives. McCann was with the Ath
letics several years ago, but showed
nothing but an open countenance.
Golfing Factions on Verge
[- of Bitter War Over Power
* *
KW YORK, T)ec. 17.—The moat bitter battle in golfing
politics since the famous row over Francis Oulmet In
1916, impends and disruption of the United States Golf
association at the annual meeting here January 5, is
threatened. A merger of western end southern golf
bodies has been effected, it is understood, with the
resolution to wipe out the existing association and re
place It with an organization to be known as the "Golf
Association of America,”
The plana ror tne revolt nave neen Kept as secret
as such a widespread movement could be, but details
of th* plan leaked out this week. It the promoters are
able to hold their pledges in line, now that the news of
the rebellion Is known, they have enough votes to force
action.
Polities of the administration of golf has aroused
little Interest In the ordinary duffer and It was this
antipathy that resulted in the formation of the United
•States Golf association In 1895, when a few men took It upon themselves
ko organize a governing body that would lay down the rules for the vast
irmy of other golfers.
This paternalistic organization continued without much objection until
Isis, when the eligibility or Frances
•iuimet became a bone of contention.
That row nearly split the organization
in two and there has been consider
able antagonism displayed ever since*
Recently an attempt was made to ap
pease the western section by giving
; it additional members on the execu
tive committee, bfct certain rulings
and practices continued, and the de
mand'arose for an entirely new or
ganization laid out on more demo
cratic lines and providing for greater
elasticity in rules. The idea, appar
ently, took lik^ wild fir# and finds
th# rebels with the promise of hold
ing the power to forest their recom
mendations through.

—Five V eterans Will Ap
pear in Lineup.
Hastings, Neb., Dec. 17—Hastings
college basket-tossers, under the di
rection of Coach A. P. Holte, are now
swinging into steady practice in pre;
paration for their first game on Jan
uary 10 with York college.
"Our prospects for this season are
good,” Coach Holste declared today.
The coach then outlined the list of
cage players who will be on the floor
this season.
Captain Carl Schneider, of Platts
mouth, playing his third year at
Hastings; Bob Stephens, of this city,
a second-year man; Herb Anderson,
Columbus, on the team for his fourth
year; Sam Drelbelbis, also of Hast
ings. and a two-year man. and Boh
Ambrose. Hastings, second-year play
er, constitute the list of experienced
players who have donned suits this
season.
Promising new men are: h. Beck,
Broken Bow; J. Conklin* St. Paul.
Neb.; Fritz Poore. Kenesaw; Bob
laatta, Hastings and Consbruch, also
of Hastings.
Hastings finished with a percentage
of BOO at the close of last year’s bas
ket ball season, with a team that was
good on the floor but lacked the
ability to shoot at the crucial mo
ments.
Coach Halste said that he hoped
to develop the scoring side of the
team for the 1924 contests, thereby
making a balanced machine of the
Hastings college cagesters. With sev
eral years experience as coach In
nearly all branches of athletic*. Hol
ste should be able to accomplish this
end, especially In view of the fact that
he tutored the quintet laat season
and consequently knows the mater
ial which he must shape. .

HARLEY LEFFINGWELL of
Valley fame haa much to say
regarding the Inat enow storm
which hit that territory. Charley
was out on the river with hie single
barrel gun and declared that the
anow melted na anon as It hit ground.
"It snowed so hard that It ran Into
the mussle of my Run,’’ he stated,
"and It hustedthe hreech. I had a
barrel in the blind which had no ends
and It snowed faster In the bunghole
than tt could run out the ojien aides.
When I f nally made shore and saw
my shack the snow was flylnR through
the open door and out the fireplace
chimney. It went up In the air about
20 feet. My dog stopped to sneer.e
and was covered over In a minute.
The anow melted so fast It nearly
drowned him and he washed back
three feet for every step he took for
ward. Next time you tell me how
hard It snowed In Omaha I'll lell you
aliout the time hack In ISM when II
snowed so hard at Elk City that It
Rave nn Indian trltas the fltst wash
ItiR it had received 111 20 years. I
wouldn't lie, lmt I honestly think lhat
storm was the worst In Nebraska his
tory. It was so cold that turtles In
the Platte river grew hair like musk

gles and distances. Oltts Clark is an
| other regular who ie demonstrating
i his optica haven't failed him. He Is

Inst season. Dode Reeves, scrappy
guard, Is there again this year with
the same old fight and pep. J. Katz
man and Fred Sutter are holding
down their positions well at guard.
