Jacob Ruppert may nave to don false whiskers and a red suit and play Santa Claus to the other American league club owners before he gets any ball players to plug the weak spots in the New York Yankees. The rising strength of the Detroit Tigers and Bojlou Red Sax makes it Imperative that the Yankees land some star players if they are to be contenders in the 1936 pennant race.

With one of the biggest fortunes in baseball at his command, Col. Ruppert is finding it increasingly difficult to do any business with othei clubs. The Yanks are practically boycotted.

Ed Burrow, Yankees' business manager, incurred the wrath of other magnate and managers by his refusal to con- I aider anything like an even deal lor any of the Yankees' veil low. Now Col. Ituppert finds that Hau on policy being thrown hack lit his teeth every time he attempts to make a Unit.

Griffith's proposition was no more fantastic than some of the deals Barrow tried to put over when the Yarn ruled the baseball world. Col. Ruppert has offered $100,000 for Myer. but probably won't even get him at that price. Bid For Simmon The Yanks bid $60,000 for Al Simmons, but Jimmy Dykes, White box manager, never had any serious intentions of selling his big outlielder to Now York.

Dykes merely ied the Yanks as a pawn to get the price, he wanted for Simmons from Detroit. During the minor league meeting at Dayton. Dykes said that he wouldn't do any business with the Yanks if he never made a deal unless, of course, he could put something over on them. Col. Ruppert realizes that something drastic mut be done to strengthen the lankee nut only to keep the club In the race hut to stimulate waning patron-ace at Yankee Medium.

The lows of liahe Huth and the growing Unpopularity of several players has hurt the drawing power of the Yankees considerably during the past year, a. The Yankees have several strong nfiftfuba in the minors, but their farm jpjfiava yet to turn out a player really valuable to the club. The Yanks badly need a second baseman and a clean-up hitting outfielder, if Joe Di Maggio, the highly-touted coast league rookie, doesn't make good right off the bat, the Yank will have another International league outfield in 1936. Interested In Averlll The Yanks are Interested In Earl Averlll, of Cleveland, and Sam West of the Browns. Their chances ol landing either appear slim.

Roger Hornsby, the old "Trader Horn" himself, may consent to do business with the Yanks, but only on a plaver or player and cash basis. The Browns badly need players, especially pitch-era and the Yanks would have to give up some of their mound strcneth u-get West or Catcher Rollie Hemsley. bvshgTves19 grid numerals to canton boys CANTON.

Thornhill Permits Anyone, Even Foes, To Watch Indians Practice STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Calif, Dec. 31. uj Burly, genial Claude hornhill, better known a nny, who will take his Stanford eleven into the Rose Bowl for the third straight time as Pacific Coast contender, has two qualities tut a football coach. No.

1 He ts always an optimist. No. 3 He disdains the cutoinary hocus-pocus or mystery in the creation of a gridiron mn-hlne. "Our luck In the Hose Bowl can't all be bad." grins Thnruhtll, who has seen his boys take two thump-lna In a row at I'anadu on New Vest's Day. Confident Against Hears Tiny never discounts the ability of ills team.

"I think we've got a good he rc betore the Big Uame with California last month, when the Cloldcn Bears' powerful eleven was rated the favorite. That chance more than panned out. for the Indians decisively knocked California out of the picture with a 13 to 0 tie (eat. 1 "Weil be in the best condition of the year." he goes on about the Itosc liowl game anntiirtt Southern Methodist no building of an alibi there. "The only way the boys can get hurt now Is in automobile accidents, and there are only a couple of cars on the whole team." Thornhill lours eight 8-year regulars before next September, but he refuses to sing the blues.

No Secret Practice Yes. there's no question there's no room for pessimism in all of Tlny's 240-pound frame. Nof for the absence of mystery. In the three years he has been head coach at Stanford, Thornhill never has held a secret practice.

"Anyone can come out, and the more the better," Ms his attitude, and that Includes even the opposition in contrast to the locked (rates and guards that bar the way to mnnt football rehearsals. Thornhill calmly dcHes anyone to diagram a play from the sidelines where there Is no perspective vantage point of altitude, and points for proof to the luckles experience or Orv Mohler, former Southern Cnll-fotnla star who visited a Stanford practice. Those two qualities are a tip-off to the character of Thornhill, who is concluding his fourteenth season as a member of the Stanford coaching staff, his third as head coach. He gathered his player together alter Stanford was chosen again to go to the Rose Bowl. "I asked them IX they wanted to play there again, and told them If they didn't I would call our entry off right then.
