AMD NO OKiKjSmX ATHLETICS BOSS AND FOUR OTHERS SOLD FOR $3,500 Connie Mack Brought "Big Price" for Daniels Back in Old Days.

Colchester, Dec. 18. (UP) A white-bearded old gentleman of SI hoisted his feet onto the shelf of a glowing stove, tilted back-his chair and recalled today when he sold Connie Mack and four other baseball players for $3,500. The speaker was Charles F. Daniels, first umpire in the National league.

He was found living a seclud-ed life with his brother, Eugene, on a farm six miles off the New London-Hartford turnpike. It was while he was manager of th Hartford baseball club, then a member of the National league, that he sold Cornelius McGillicuddy. or Connia Mack aa he Is known to baseball fans. "Gosh," he mused, "I bought Connie Mack from Tom Rellly of the Merlden club for next to nothing and later sold him with four others to Washington tor $3,500. That was big money then." Daniels, despite his years, has a strong, physique, and a keen pair of blue eyea peer out from under his shaggy white" eyebrows.

He is just as interested in baseball as when he was a rookie with the New Haven club "back in. '75," he said, and attends every World Series. Only five New York players who participated in the first National league game at the Polo grounds ia 1882, which Charlie umpired, now arc alive, Daniels told the United Press. The National league consisted of eight clubs at the start, Daniels continued. They were Hartford, Boston, St.

Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, Later, he said, New York, Chicago, and Detroit came In, Ha didn't remember who played in the first National league contest. Daniels received from $5 to 110 for umpiring a game in those days, ha said, and the crowd went to the park in mule-drawn "Sometimes," he chuckled, "the gangflwould have to get out and push the car up the hills." A good player was lucky if he received $1,400 a season, Charlie recall, ed. "Times sure have changed," said Charlie.

FOILED Rwrve'd i 11 Tech Reserves Open Season at Cold Spring on Monday Evening Winner Will Probably Be Carded Against Jack Sharkey at Garden. MATCH SCHMELINQ Present Suspensions Hold Key to Future, Experts Point Out Today. York, Dec.

16. (UP) Having sharpened his wits on relativity and other such teaser, Professor Einstein might find diversion and at the same lime render a great service to the public by going to the aid of Messrs. Carey, Bruen, Jacobs, Stribling (Pa), Stribling (Willie), and other members of boxing's elect. The members of the elect (all save Willie and he is due soon) spent yesterday in huddles in and about Madison Square Garden. It was learned on good authority that the members of the elect, with their usual decisiveness, decided on nothing save that it was Monday.

Unless some such mind as Herr Bin-stein's is applied to the task of straightening out the heavyweight tnuddle, sports page readers may be doomed for several weeks of reading how this promoter signed that lighter, and that fighter refused that promoter. AH of which comes under the intriguing title of ballyhoo. Probable Program Seen Left to themselves Messrs. Carey, et after a few weeks of huddling, will most likely come up with the folowing results: 1. Stribling and Camera to fight in Miami under Bruen's banner sometime this winter.

2. The winner of the Miami fight to meet Jack Sharkey in the Garden under the Garden's banner. 3. The winner of the Sharkey-? fight to meet' Max Sehmeling for Ihe title on the milk fund card. Bruen, the one time general manager of the Garden but now a promoter on his own, is believed to have the inside rail on this Stribling-Carnera bout.

Bruen, in addition to having Camera lined up, has the city of Miami or less behind him. Also, the Garden, if they secured Camera, would have to worry about his suspension in this state. 7 SusunsIou Watched If" the three fights listed above go through it will be interesting to see how the New York state commission handles Camera's suspension. If Cam era whipped Stribling the suspension would have to be set aside before he could meet Sharkey here. The same aoes for Stribling, for under the com mission's ruling a fighter automatical ly suspends himself by meeting an in eligible opponent.

It will probably all end in the us pension or suspensions being lifted on the ground that the commission feels it would be going a little too far in spoiling a fighters chance at the heavy weight crown. Sauk Centre Five Opens Season With 33-13 Win Sauk Centre, Dee. 18 (Special) The Sauk Centre independent basketball team pried off the lid officially last evening with a 33 to 13 win over the fast moving Grey Eagle team on the losers' court The Main Streeters were out in front all the way and there was little doubt from the start as to the final outcome.

(AP) The Tulsa Oilers, at present sharing top honors in the American Hockey league with Minneapolis and the Chicago Shamrocks, evidently are out after a new high scoring record for the season.

The Oilers, with two sets of forwards which feature speed, are a rather comfortable lead in goals scored during the first month of play. During the past week the Oilers set what perhaps will stand as records when final tabulation of scores are made at the end of play late next Mach. In a game against Buffalo, the Oilers tallied eleven times, holding the new member of the circuit to two scores. Sunday, Coach Dick Carroll's men gave the Duluth Hornets their worst defeat in recent years, when they piled up a seven to nothing triumph. Oilers Set IMujr Pace The Hornets have always had a fairly good reputation of having a good defensive team, but the Oilers skated the Duluth team at a dizzy pace to set this record.

The Oilers in their first nine games of the season have scored 32 goals, which is an average of better than 3 a game, which is usually sufficient to win an average contest Chicago also has shown good scor ing power in the first month of play, but the Shamrocks are trailing the Oilers by 11 goals, having scored 21 times in 10 games. The Oilers and Shamrocks as well as the other five clubs have a high mark to shoot at this season, for St. Louis finishing in last place last season, led goals scored with a total of 98. followed by Tulsa with 94, St. Paul 93.

Duluth 87, Minneapolis 83, and Kansas City, the champions, last with 75.
