Dec. 10 iPl Hotel lobbies and secluded rooms will double as country lanes and sales navillions next week when baseball's David Harums meet here in their Winter swapfest, known technically as Uie annual major league meeUngs.

The American and National Leagues will meet separately Tuesday and Wednesday, and Jointly Thursday with Commissioner K. M. Landis presiding. Although numerous other items of business, such as the New York Yankees' suggestion that a player's salary be spread out ove ra 12-month period, and the advisability of the American League approving night oaseball. will be taken ukp, the fans' interest centers on who will get who from whom, and for how much.

The New York Giarts and the Chicago Cubs jumped the gun at New Orleans In announcing a triple-play deal in which the Giants got Ken O'Dea, Frank Demaree and Bill Jur-ges, in return for Gus Mancuso, Dick Bartell and Hank Lelber, and the fans got headaches trying to figure out who got the best of the transaction, however, other major deals are sizzling. For instance, the Giants are expected to make a grab for Zeke Bonura, Washington first baseman vho has been waived by other American League clubs. Bill Terry needs a hard-hitting first sacker and Clark Griffiths is willing to let Bonura go. Several deals were reported put on the fire at the meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs at New Orleans this week, and these may come to a boll here. It was Reported that the St.

Louis Cardinals were ready to trade Outfielders Enos Slaughter to the Cubs for Outfielder Augie Galan, and that the Chicago White Sox would be only too glad to give Utility Inf ielder Boze Ber-ger to the St. Louis Browns, with the only stipulation that the Browns hand over Pitcher Russ Van Atta. Another transaction which will be watched with interest is that which will reveal the destination of Hutchinson, Pacific Coast League hurling ace on whom is reported to dangle a $50,000 price tag. The PUtsburgh Pirates are supposed to have me inside track for his services. Other rumors are bouncing around like tennis balls.

There is the report that the Cleveland Indians would part with Earl Averill, Sammy Hale and Frank Pytlak if the returns are favorable; that Larry MacPhall of the Brooklyn Dodgers could use a couple of! good outfielders, infieldr and a catcher, and that Connie Mack could use practically a whole new ball club. He'd like to keep Wally Moses and Bob Johnson If there are no objections, however. And weaving through the swap and sale talk is the persistent query as to what will hoppen to such orphans of the baseball storm as Ft ankle Frisch, erstwhile pilot of the Cardinals and Push 'Em Up Tony Lazzeri, late of the Cubs. Rotary 16 8 Exchange 13 11 Cubs 12 12 Kiwanis 9 15 Jr. Chamber of Commerce 8 16 The Exchange Club were the high-scoring team with 986 and 9.77.

Sam Jones (Kiwanis) was high for single games, having 231. Others, Joe Petranka (Exchange) 221, and Dean of the same club with 218. Eddie Wells, captain of the Cubs, states that from here on he thinks that the Cubs should be known as the LIONS PRO TEAM. Maybe he has something, there. In the Men's Duckpln League, WSFA offered the star bowlers, taking three games from the Rose-mont Gardeners and also having the high team game of 527.

Woco Sandwich Shop, Alabama Power Company, French Piano Company had to be content with two games out of three from the Merpaco G-men, Loeb Hardware Company and Tennille Furniture Company in the order named. Individual high games were made by DeMotte 135, Carpenter 125, and E. Gassenheimer 120. The Swift Packers proved to be exceptionally good sports. They had the opportunity of claiming all three games from the Auto Electric Service, due to the fact that the latter team was unable to roll at the specified time.

Capt. Croy, of Swifts, stated that if the opposing team would roll their games within four days, he would O. K. their scores. As luck would have it, the Auto Electric Service team did so and won two games out of three from the Swift team.

The Men's Duckpln- League -standings now read, with 24 games rolled: W. L. BILL HOLLOW WM- in my humble Judgment, the best catcher In the league, although Tank Horton fans will get up and argue about that. But Epp.s cannot be bought because of the policeman business. Aubrey Epps Is in it.

The guy is a cop In Memphis. Now Memphis has a lot of of fliers. Police Commissioner Cliff Davis Is a personal friend of mine and is as flue a fellow as you would want to meet. I have written him to ask, as a personal favor, if he will please fire Aubrey Epps. The Montgomery ball club needs him more than does the highly efficient Memphis police department.

Unless we can get a fellow with Ihe arm and intelligence of Epps there will be more stealing In Cramton Bowl than there will be in Memphis because Epps can't -all over Memphis and he rertainly can throw all over an Infield. Memphis may or may not need one more man In the police force. Montgomery ceitainly needs a fellow like Aubrey Epps in the catching department. A REAL BANQUET Wars and rumors of wars and Christmas shopping frighten me no longer. Sidnev Lanier School has made be believe all is really well with the world.

They had a football banquet out there last night and Coach Country Oliver was toastmaster. They served everything edible but toast and it was the first time In a long and career of banquet going I ave had a splendid dinner without having to pay for It by either making or listening to a speech. There were no speeches, but there was turkey and dressing and green peas and rice and gravy and hot rolls and goodness only knows how much other stuff before the Ice cream came along. And all of it came along promptly and in the hands oi the prettiest group of high school girls I have ever seen. If th-re are any ugly girls at Sidney Lanier they kept them at home last night The food was remarkably good but the most unusual thing about it was the fact they gave ties as Christmas presents and I didn't see a single tie a fellow couldn't wear.

Who ever heard of a Christmas tie or a banquet tie which could be worn in public except on a bet? If Country Oliver's team next year is as fine as was his party last night you may take it across the board. Principal J. S. McCants was co-host and did a swell Job. It seems I have become enthused about the Sidney Lanier party.

But anyone who wouldn't be enthused about that fine a dinner, that nice a heck tie and those pretty girls Just doesn't enthuse. I did last night. FLAT RAMSEY AND SAM DURDEN One of the fellows who caused considerable commotion at the recent baseball meeting in New Orleans Just Isn't. That, of course, may sound like peculiar grammar, but It Is the truth. His name is Flat Ramsey, and he Just Isn't except in the mindsif any of people like Sam Durden.

A room was full of newspaper and baseball were talking of this and that mostly that. Then Durden brought Flat Ramsey into the com creation. Flat is said to be the brain child of Wilbur Hutsell of Auburn. But the legend has grown and when Durden, Maurice Bloch, Stuart Stephenson and Howard Pill finished talking about Flat Ramsey there were half a dozen newspaper men who had half a dozen pages of notes. Those guys could sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

But not to me. Mail orders for football tickets to the North-South fame here Jan. I have been growing daily. Indicating that a great throng of out-of-town fans will be in the stands for the classic. The City Commission, promoters of the battle, has received numerous Inquiries as to the price of tickets and where they may be obtained.

Reserved seats are 2.20 and $1.75, and are on sale at May Green Sporting Goods Store. The 42.20 tickets have been selling at a faster clip the last few days, two sections In the concrete stands and nearly half of the third section having already been disposed of. In ordering tickets, fans were requested to send 2 cents extra to cover postage and registration. There are plenty of good seats left, but those who plan to attend the inauguration of the North-South series of post-season games in the Cradle of the Confederacy were advised to order their supplies early. Roy Bellin, Wisconsin right halfback, who will wear the blue of the North's eleven In the all-star game, has been called by competent critics the most Underrated back in the Big Ten In the seasons of 1937 and 1938.

A player who usually looks mediocre In practice, Bellin is the kind of a lad who comes through with something exceptional "when the chips are all down." He is a real competitor, If there ever was one. This boy loves to play football and the tougher the going, the better he likes It. A regular on the last three Wisconsin elevens, Bellin has always been a dependable back. In 1936, he was the regular left halfback. In 1937, he was shifted to right half, where he again started this last Fall but when all Badger left halfbacks were injured, Bellin was shifted back to left half and performed as if he had never played any other position.

He is not sensational as a ball carrier but he gets his gains. He is also a clever passer and an exceptional receiver. Almost invariably, when the Badger attack stalled In "pay dirt" and no one else could gain, the play called was a pass to Bellin and if the ball came anywhere near him, he snagged it. In Wisconsin's upset victory over Northwestern, two of Wisconsin's three touchdowns were on passes which the smiling Bellin picked practically out of the hands of defending backs. In addition to these accomplishments, Bellin is a good blocker, 'a superb defensive back and he did all the Badgers' punting when he was in the game.

He kicked out of a lot of tight holes and averaged 42 yards for the season a performance which led to his universal recognition as the Big Ten's best punter -of the year. Other backs were more brilliant ball carriers but Roy Bellin was the real workhouse of the Badger backfield and the guy who. came through "in the clutch."

(JP) With the exception of Referee John Get-chell, who was accused of "shortchanging" Carnegie Tech out of a down in the Notre Dame game, and Referee Red Friesell, who got his name in the papers by calling three illegal pass penalties on Yale against Harvard and another on Navy against Army, football officials went through the 1938 season wearing their customary cloaks of They were merely figures In white knickers to the customers In the country's stadia.

'f) The owners of the 10 National Pro Football League clubs almost overruled the players on the question of Fred Svend-sen's eligibility to play with the Green Bay Packers in tomorrows playolf game at their annual meeting today. Ineligible according to the rules because he Joined the team for this season only two weeks ago. League President Joe Carr had ruled Svendsen could play against the New York Giants tomorrow if the Giants' players gave permission.

They voted this morning to do Several club owners protested, however, against waiving the rule and it was not until John Mara of the Giant shad pleaded with them that they altered their stand. The club owners also appointed committees to discuss and decide upon a policy to be followed In reference to all-star games and a resolutions committee to consider all legislation to te presented to future meetings. They decided all resolutions submitted at next February's meeting must first be passed upon by the committee headed office, this year added the task of seeking to improve football officiating. He felt the best way to do this was to reduce the E. I.

roster of 275 accredited officials to the best 150, thus providing more work for a more competent group of men. He couldn't effect that reduction without first Investigating the capabilities of the referees, umpires, head linesmen and field Judges. Nor could he investigate all of them himself. Therefore he appointed a number of scouts, many of them former officials, to help him. Each Saturday these scouts attended the games of some of the association's 34 member colleges.

Unknown to the working officials, they were able to make a close study of their subjects. The officials didn't take to the idea when Bushnell first proposed It. "A spy system" was one of the milder names they applied to it. But before long they realized that it was to their own interests to have their work judged by Impartial observers rather than to trust to reports turned In by the naturally-biased athletic directors and graduate managers of the colleges whose games they were handling. The system worked well.

Bushnell had confidence in his scouts and their weekly reports, the officials knew they were getting fair treatment, and at the end of the season Bushnell had a very good Idea of which were his best men. "The reason for reducing our staff is obvious," said the former Princeton graduate manager. "With 275 men on our list, none of them were getting enough work. And experience. It's been proved, is the best way for an official to improve.

Only experience can teach him instinctively to make the right decision at the right time, for football is a good deal like brtUge, no matter how much you may study the rules, there always will' be plenty of hands you've never seen before." The weedlng-out system he used. Bushnell believes, was the most practical of a number of suggested means of reaching the same goal. "One of the proposals was to set a hard and fast age limit." he explained. "That wouldn't work because By EARL HILL1GAN CHICAGO. Dec.

Chatham, an Atlanta shortstop for seven years, thus will be near his Waco, Texas, home.

ball question." he said. "While I won't predict what action will be taken. I know that some owners feel some of the liveliness should be removed from the ball used last season. Tests have been made which owners have watched closely." Among baseball men there is a strong belief that the Junior League will adopt a somewhat modified ball for 1939, not necessarily for the purpose of toning down the power of the New York Yankee sluggers. Sentiment apparently favors Just enough of a change to meet the specifications of the ball adopted by the National League owners at the 1938 meeting.

At that session both American and National League club owners were expected to take Joint action on the ball question. But the American Leaguers postponed a decision and did a lot of eyebrowraislng when the senior circuit magnates suddenly went ahead and adopted a ball with a heavier cover and slightly raised seam. Tests have proved this "slower" ball just about as lively as the American League one. Many pitchers agreed the raised seam helps them, so it is probable the Junior League owners will adopt one similar to that used by the National Leagi'ers. Another item of business expected to come before American League owners.

Harridge said. Is the night baseball question. Cleveland and Philadelphia are expected to ask for permission to play night games. It Is known also that the league will attempt to reduce the number of appeals from batters and pitchers that a fresh ball be tossed Into the game. American League umpires have been granting those requests so frequently prinrially lo keep peat, that some baseball men fear the habit may develop into an extreme nuLiance.

National League umpires have been instructed to toss In a new ball only when convinced the one In use is defective and junior circuit arbiters probably will be given the same order. CHICAGO, Dec. 10. (IP) Baseball offered a life-time Job today to Monty Stratton, the ace Chicago White Sox pitcher who recently underwent amputation of his right leg after suffering a gunshot wound. 'J.

Louis Comlskey, White Sox president, notified Stratton that as soon as he is fully recovered he can step into a permanent position with the White Sox office organization. At the same time, Comlskey said a benefit game for Stratton will be played April 17 between the White Sox and the Chicago Cubs, the city's National League -entry. On Nov. 27, Stratton was target shooting on his mother's farm near Greenville, Texas, when his revolver accidentally discharged. The bullet struck below the hip, coursing down to the knee, and he lost much blood before his wife, Ethel, got him to a Dallas hospital.

The next day amputation was performed at toe knee. "Monty has a Job with us as long as he wants It," said Comlskey. was a fine pitcher and Is finer man. Baseball can't afford to lose him." Comlskey conferred briefly today with P. K.

Wrigley, owner of the Oubs, and then announced plans for the Cub-Sox game, all proceeds from which will go to Mr. and Mrs. Stratton, whose son. Monty, was year-old the day the amputation operation was performed. Harry Qrablner, White Sox vice-president, said Stratton waa "comln along fine" and may leave the hospital In two weeks.

He was a big factor In White Sox hopes for 1939, having won 15 games the past season even though out of action -with a tore arm for the first month of the campaign.

There also wai a recent suggestion from George Preston Marshall, president of the professional Washington Redskins, that football officials be put on a full-time salary basis, like baseball umpires, to Improve the standard of their work.
