SEPTEMBER 5, 1931. PART I. Cubs Plan Housecleaning With Klein, English, Cuyler, Bush on Block Bill Henry Says A Board and A i 6 'Sis taur 1 wW. -W llii iMiHMiiir i This is just a pleasant vay of taking a bath in the ocean.

HACK WILSON RELEASED BY PHILADELPHIA CLUB Once Mighty Home-Run King of National League Falls by Wayside; Hendrick, Malis Dropped PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4. IS1) Hack Wilson, once the mightiest right-hand hitter in the National League, has been released, the Philadelphia National League club announced today.

MALONE, ROOT ALSO SLATED TO BE TRADED Numerous Deals Rumored BY EDWARD BURNS NEW YORK. Sent. 4. (Exclusive Baseball trade winds were blowing a gaie as tne cuds arrived here this afternoon, the first stop In the rather bleak enterorise of overtav. ing the world's champion Giants, wnom iney now trail seven games with less than a month's play remaining.

With the Giants virtually conceded the pennant, despite the fact that Guy Bush pitches the opener of a series against them tomorrow, the several gents managing also-rans are free to talk trade much earlier than in any season in years. ALL AFTER BARGAINS The managers are out to strengthen their teams, but aside from Bill McKechnle of the Braves they don't vseem eager to discuss an up-and-up trade, in which both sides will stand a chance to help themselves. Ai usual, the Philadelphia and Cin cinnati clubs are to be tempted with bundles of cash. It is reported that the Cubs are prepared to dispose of the following players if satisfactory deals can be arranged. The list Includes only the names of players in whom in terest has been expressed by bid- blng clubs.

Woody English, looked upon as the best trading material in the league, since every club wants him and he is not a regular on the club. English Is a prime favorite with Grimm and will come high on the market. KLEIN DISAPPOINTS Chuck Klein, a disappointment with the Cubs this year, but still rated one of the game's greatest stars. Klkl Cuyler, along in years, but still one of the best outfielders that ever played in the National League. Pat Malone, who staged a comeback this year.

On a team where discipline is a bit more rigorous than it is on the Cubs, Malone would be a star for at least three or four years. Guy Bush, a great pitcher, who should be great for five more years. Available only because the Cubs realize they can't trade bat boys for front-line stars. Guy would thrive on a change of scenery. Stanley Hack, a promising young infielder, who hits well In streaks and who Is sure to Improve, both ai a defensive and an offensive player.

He will not be available unless one of the two important deals now smoking is closed. OTHERS THROWN IN Other players, such as Charley Root, Bud Tinning, Auguie Galan and Riggs Stephenson, may be thrown in for good measure, after the fashion of the disposal of Gink Hendrick, Mark Koenlg and others in last year's deals. Reports from Pittsburgh are that Manager Traynor has reserved only three of his players as not for barter or trade at any price. These are the two Waners and Arky Vaughan. The Cubs' Interest In the Pirates Is confined to First Baseman Gus Suhr and Lefty Larry French.

SEEK MARTIN, HALLAHAN One of the hottest prospects on the fire involves the acquisition of Pepper Martin from the Cards. If Pepper goes to Chicago, he probably will take along Bill Hallahan as his This deal may encounter some delay until Manager Grimm can satisfy himself that Martin's arm, Injured this summer, is perfectly sound. A hangover from last winter's dickering, which now has a fair chance of materializing, would send the mature Lefty Dutch Brandt and Outfielder Hal Lee to the Cubs. The names moat frequently men tloned In connection with this prop osttion are Cuyler, English and Malone, with Root an added possibility. Brandt Is 32, Lee is 27, Cuyler Is 34.

English, 27 and Malone, 31. These agee are taken from baseball record books and not family Bibles. AFTER IIAFEY, DAVIS The Cubs will resume cash and player offers to the Cincinnati Red for Chick Hafey and have Included bids for Paul Derringer. A nice packet of currency has been wrapped up In red ribbons and the Phllllc can have It If they wlU transfer Pitcher Curt Davis to the Chicago raster.

UP) Seth Edmonton, 22, of Fountain Green, Utah, died in a hospital here today from a fractured skull, received in a boxing match here last night. Edmonton was knocked out in the fifth round by Arcade Pierce of Springville, after he had scored eleven knockdowns in four rounds. Edmonton had called upon Pierce's second to throw in a towel and end the bout to stop further punishment of Pierce when the bell rang for the beginning of the fifth round.

Pierce smashed Edmonton In the mouth and then in the neck, flooring him. He was taken to the hospital Edmonton was married a week ago. RAIN AGAIN INTERFERES WITHPLAY Mens Second-Round Tilts Halted at Forest is; May Continue Today FOREST HILLS (N. Sept. 4.

irr Rain today washed out the second round of the men's national 'singles tennis championship for the second straight day. Consequently the final duel for the crown, originally scheduled for Saturday, bee been put over until Monday, but there is strong likelihood It will be further deferred, since the weather forecast for the remainder of the week Is none too favorable. If the weather is clear and dry tomorrow the United States Lawn Tennis Association will endeavor to complete the second round schedule of thirty-two matches, which was interrupted yesterday after seven matches were placed to a finish and two players had advanced to the third-round via defaults. todav That's Mickey Cochrane, manager of the Detroit Tigers, who refused to get all hot and bnthrrrd about the unkind things Bill Terry said about the Users recently. Instead Cochrane retaliated with a flowery specci, Tcrrj'a tO SOONER does this depart-ment rush boldly Into print with it choice of George Lott to beat Fred Perry of England In the National Tennis Championship anybody's going to beat him Vhenup pops Ellsworth Vines with the same brilliant Idea, Cant figure it out.

Either Ellsworth and the proprietor of this column are both smart, or dumb as the case may be, or else Ellsworth has been reading my stuff. anyway, Perry will probably win and then well both be sorry we didnt keep our mouths shut That's happened before. FERRY ABOUT TO GET ADVICE Perry 1 the natural choice because of his great Davis Cup play and because he won the Pacific Southwest last year, the winner of our local event having over a long period of years captured the national crown the following season. But I'm not sure. While In the East on my vacation I noted that Mercer Beasley, the Great Thinker, was watching Perry very closely.

After the manner In which Mr. Beasley "thought" our Davis Cup team of 1933 into the worst beating in history I hope he doesnt do too much thinking on Fred's behalf. Fred is a very njce guy.

O. M. Sopwith. "Says who?" says you. Well, It's like this, mates.

Eddie Fink, the Long Beach sailor man, was a member of the crew of the Yankee, sailed by Charles Francis Adams, former Secretary of the Navy. The Yankee, after winning all the early races from the other candidate, the Rainbow, lost the last ones and the Rainbow owned by seventeen millionaires was nominated to defend the cup. Eddie thinks all is lost. PICKS ADAMS AS BEST PILOT The. boats are so evenly matched, Eddte thinks, that the lad at the tiller will tell the tale.

Sopwith Is good. Eddie says "Sopwith is keen. He knows what he's here for. He Is sure to make a race of it. The Endeavour, his boat, is easy to look at; is able and stands a fine chance to win." Fink, who is the country's leading star-boat pilot, thinks Charles Francis Adams would have been a little too smart for Sopwith.

Oh, well! The seventeen millionaires are happy, anyway!

Sometimes, however, iPowtii prf photoi SOLONS CLASH WITH SERAPHS IN TWIN BILL Meola, Henshaw Hurl Tonight BY BOB RAY Mr. Earl McNeely'a Sacramento Solons, the fastest-traveling team in the league (they're going down faster than anybody Is going up,) make their first appearance at Wrig- ley Field since they became official tenants of the cellar, tonight when they face our Angels in an after-dark double-header. The Solons come here on the crest of a losing streak that, if not sensational, has at least been consistent.

They've lost eighteen of their last twenty-three games, climaxing their downward plunge last week when they outdid themselves by dropping eight out of nine to Portland as they forcibly ousted the Ducks from last place. COME OUT AT NIGHT Possibly this is why the double- header has been scheduled for tonight. Mr. McNeely is a bit sensitive about exhibiting his boys in the cruel sunlight. At night a few of their shortcomings may be overlooked.

The secret of Sacramento's success, or rather lack of It. Is what Is laughingly called Its infield. It Is composed of Pcrrina, a rookie at first base: Boroja, an outleldcr, at second base; Cosbcy, enother rookie at short, and Ostenberg, who seems to be out of place because he claims to be a third sacker, at third base. This said these boys can throw away ball games at tho most unexpected times and in the most amusing manners. This lends the ele- (Contlnued on Page Column 8) Joe Moore la no raving beauty, but he looked mighty sweet to Hill Terry yesterday when he hit a homer with one on In the ninth inning of the second game to give the Giant a do'ible victory over the Phils, and a seven-game lead in the National League race.

He was given a chance to play regularly but he failed to hit and finally was kept on the bench. Hendricks had been with the Phils all season, coming from the Chicago 26 Hack Wilson Cubs as part payment for Chuck Klein.

Malis Is a Philadelphian and it was the second trial the Phillies had given him. Wilson was signed by the Phillies after he was unceremoniously released by the Brooklyn Dodgers. The ciant. who cracked out fifty- six home runs in 1930 for a grand batting average of .353, fell down the following season He hit thir- tee 11 Hume i uia whu vsn Cubs and batted .261.
