ATO N'S 4 PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Dodgers, Pirates, Cubs and Reds May Invest Large Sum to Better Pennant Chances By WHITNEY MARTIN. (Associated Press Sports Writer.) New York, November 8. JP) Gerald Nugent, owner of Philadelphia Phillies of th National Baseball League, would give both his arms for $300,000. Both are right arms, and they swing from the shoulders of Kirby Higbe and Hugh Mulcahy, a pair of upper case pitchers tied to an agate baseball club. Nugent, to show his impartiality, has slapped a price tag ot $150,000 on each wing, which mighrt discourage some fish which might arise to the bait.

Taking both Higbe and Mulcahy from the Phils would seem, at firrt glance, like clipping the claws of a tiger, although it's true the club hasn't scratched anything but bottom for some time. Nugent says he needs the money to operate. A last-place club with the knot-hole attendance of the Phils just can't afford to keep men of the value of the two pitchers. The money which might be obtained through their sale could be used to buy several young players who, in the long run. probably would do more toward lifting the team out of the cellar.

Four clubs might be prospective buyers Brooklyn Dodgers. Chicago Cubs. Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds. Boston Bees haven the money. St.

Louis Cardinals are pretty well set for pitchers. New York Giants have the money, but the club needs so much new talent is doubtful whether it would pay $150,000 for one man. MacPHAIL INTERESTED. John McDonald, the Dodgers' club secretary, admits Larry Mac-Phail is interested in Higbe. but denies an offer has been made.

MacPhail spent more than $500,000 for players last year and he probably would go for $150,000 more if he thought it might mean a pennant. The Pirates have a stout club except for pitching. They have the money, and if they could waste $75,000 on John Gee they probably would be willing to go beyond that for players like Mulcahy or Higbe. The champion Reds aren't a club to stand still. Bill McKechnie and Warren Giles undoubtedly are not overlooking the day when Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer will come up with nothing but a prayer.

The Cubs could use pitchers, and they have the money, and if they would pay $185,000 for Dizzy Dean they could be counted as prospects in the sale of anything from the Brooklyn Bridge down. McGILL SCORES 4-3 WIN Tops M.B. and S.C. in Squash Fixture McGill squash players scored a 4-3 victory over the visiting Montreal Badminton and Squash Club team last night on home courts, taking three singles and one doubles verdict for the edge.

Lots of Dots Toe Blake, who gets a sizeable bonus if he makes the National Hockey League all-star team this season and may as well start spending the money right now, to this agent's way of thinking, has compiled a somewhat unique record in N.H.L. play.

He's scored at least one goal in the opening game of the season for Canadiens for the past four years. Toe is really happy this year performing on a line with Paul liaynes, one of the league's smartest playmakers, and the speedy Joe Benoit at right wing. After last Sunday night's game against Boston Bruins. Blake was more pleased with the work of Benoit than at the fact he had scored Canadiens' lone tally himself. "That kid's going to get plenty of goals," said Blake.

Time marches on department: Lionel Conacher. who will take rank as one of the best defencemen in hockey's history as the years add a little more color to his name, turned professional 15 years ago next Friday, joining the Pittsburgh team when that club left the amateur ranks a body. Connie has come a long way since then. Right now he's chairman of the Ontario Athletic Commission. The prize for stubbornness goes to the Canadian Rugby Union for its stand on the Dominion football playoffs.

The western team is going to play the eastern champions anyway. C.R.U. or no C.R.U., and the ruling body may as well jump in for some of that $20,000 gravy. Pat Ryan, who still ranks as one of the four best American footballers ever to perform in Montreal, is in the U.S. Army now.

according: to reports, and is stationed in Hawaii. Pat hails from the same town as Eddie Quinn, Waltham, Mass. Somebody showed us a handful of clippings from Minneapolis papers on the arrival there of Marty Barry, new coach of the American Hockey Association club. Marty seems to have taken the town by storm. One paper wrote "to meet Barry is to like him" and the others followed the same general idea.

Barry told newspapermen he will play himself and said he is going to change the system around Football Results and Standings YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. SENIOR FOOTBALL. Protestant Section. Montrl High 12. West Hill 6.

Outclasses Leaders ThroughoutHoward, Latchmore Get Touchdowns HALL OUT FOR SEASON Brilliant West Hill Halfback Suffers Broken Collarbone and Will Miss City Final By STAN HELLEUR.

This isn't for Ripley but its still a "believe it or not" feat. Montreal High handed the championship West Hill senior football squad its first defeat in two years yesterday on the McGill Campus, winning 12-6. Doormat for the rest of the Protestant league all season, the hitherto winless Blue and White team pulled itself together and rave out with a truly spectacular display in this last scheduled game of the year, leaving every who saw the game, particular ly Coach MacRae. wondering why it hadn't happened sooner. The defeat didn't alter West Hill position atop the heap for the Red and Grey already had clinched a city final berth, but the game cost the leaders the services of their brightest star, Alan Hall.

Rated the outstanding school halfback in the city. Hall suffered a broken collarbone early in the game and will be out of football for the reason. His loss will make a lot cf difference when the defending city titlists trot onto Molson Stadium field against Loyola some time next week in the sudden-death playoff. Purely accidental, the mishap occurred when Hall was tackled on an end run. A Montreal player, coming ud fast to back up his mate who made the stop, couldn't check himself and landed heavily on the Weft Hill backfielder to cause the darnage.

Hall immediately was taken to hofpiUl where the bone was set end he was allowed to return home shortly after. MEYER GETS TOUCH. During the first few minutes, it looked as if the powerful N.D.G. squad was on its way towards duplicating the 39-0 defeat it handed Montreal in their last meeting. The Fed and Grey took a 6-0 lead when Meyer plunged over for a touchdown which Bob MacFarlane converted from placement.

Suddenly the Montreal club took a new lease on life and from there on definitely outclassed the opposition. Before the half ended they tightened the score at 6-5 when Johnny Riddell fired a 40-yard forward pass which Ray Howard took on West Hill's one-yard line and carried over for an unconverted touch. The Montreal line, full of holes all season, was standing up like a urne wall, even holding the powerful MacFarlane in check when he smashed which was often. The break of the game came in the third quarter when Latchmore picked up one of West Hill's frequent fumbles on the enemy 30-yard line and raced over for a major which Johnny Riddell converted, making the score 11-6 and clinching the verdict. Fighting desperately to keep their record intact.

West Hill attacked along the ground and through the air but neither type offensive was of any use against an inspired Montreal team. MacFarlane drove himself into near exhaustion trying to rip the opposing line apart but was halted in his tracks time and again. The left of the Montreal line, with Alan Cagney at inside and O'Dell at roddle, was particularly effective stopping the West Hill powerhouse. Offensively, Montreal's big shots vere Latchmore. Johnny and Alex Riddell.

and Howard who hit the trse and ran the ends for substantial gains. The winners final point came in the fourth period when Howard en.ood back on West Hill's 45 and smralled apunt to the deadline for a single. West Hill took to the air as time waned and with Alf Harvey doing some nice throwing, moved down to the Montreal 20-yard strip. Alex Riddell cut in smartly to intercept a long forward, however, and cut off the rally. The tTTi: Wt Hilt Montreal High Woodcock flv wing Gall Lobb -half Howard Hill half A.

EATON CI UHrto Evidence of the keen interest Montreal sport fans are taking in high school football is contained in a letter received yesterday by The Gazette sports department in connection with the All-Star senior teams which this newspaper pub lished Thursday morning.

The letter reads: "We read with much interest your write-up of the All-Star high school lootball teams and we. desire to be among the first to congratulate you on this move, which we believe, was an exclusive feature of your paper. We trust this will be annual procedure, for it will furnish the future high school players with something to look forward to. "The only thing we find wrong, is that this sort of thing should have started four or five years ago when school football first started to be a major feature in Montreal's sport picture. "It is with this in mind that we VERDUN, SENATORS MEET IN TWO TILTS Play in Ottawa Tonight With Return Game Here Tomorrow Canadiens at Quebec Three Quebec Senior Hockey League games are scheduled over the week-end with two of the local clubs in action as the loop moves Tony Lemay Albert Lemay into its second week of activity in the 1940 race.

Verdun Red Devils and Ottawa Senators engage in a the teams meeting tonight at Ottawa with a return tilt at the Verdun Auditorium tomorrow afternoon. Dave Campbell takes his Canadiens down to Quebec tomorrow for a return struggle with the Royals Rifles whom they defeated last Wednesday here. The Red Devils have a win and a loss in two games, bowing to Royal Rifles last Sunday and winning at home over Cornwall Flyers on Tuesday. Therrien's men showed plenty of speed in their 5-4 overtime victory over the Flyers with the Bourcier brothers. Jean Louis and Conrad being spearhead of the drives.

The newly organized Verdun outfit bids fair to being a threat for the title and hopes are held by its followers that it will add another home victory, at the expense of the Senators. The Ottawa team, comes here with several new faces over that of last season. Now coached by Gene Chouinard, who handled several powerful Perth Blue Wing outfits, the Senators' newcomers are Albert and Tony Lemay, who played with St. Hyacinthe last season. Gene Rein-hardt from Hull Volants and Dune Cheyne from Haxringay Racers.

Those from last year's team are Trevor Higginbottom and Louis St. Denis, goalies; Stan Pratt, Jack Wilkinson and Don Grant, defence-men; Earl Nicholson, Joe Shack, Doug. Brunning, Jack Carthy, George Greene and Eddie Powers, forwards. Canadiens. boasting a 5-2 win over the Quebec team, will seek to secure its second triumph in as many starts.

Dave Campbell will have Gib James on left wing as replacement for Maurice Richard, the promising junior who is out for the season, having suffered a broken leg in the opener last Wednesday. Canadiens will be without Skipper Bean and Don Tomalty and Quebec will be minus Mike McMahon and Lester Brennan for tomorrow's game, the four having to serve a one-game suspension for match penalties they drew in last Wednesday's fight. The automatic suspensions were upheld by the Q.A.H.A. at its meeting last night. George Slater, president of the Q.S.H.L., announced the referees tor the week-end tilts, home ice officials.

In the class for harness pony tandems, the Glenholme hopefuls not only took first prize, with Coronet and King's Courier, but came in third as well with Glenholme Diadem and Cassilis Joey.

If it wasn't for Wensleydale Wildfire, the surprising seven-year-old gelding from John F. Cuneo's Hawthorn farm stable at Libertyville. 111.. Van Sinderen's string would have had no competition at all in the race for blues. Wildfire has proved the aptness of his name by sweeping through four divisions.

After clicking in three yesterday, the big bay followed up with his fourth title today by pairing with Knockvicar Domino to win among the limit pairs of harness horses over 14.2 hands hifb, from the wide-open play employed by Ching Johnson, the former coach. "Offensive play is all right," said Black Marty, "but the goaler must have some protection." He should know; he was with Canadiens last year when the goaler's only protection was his pads. And then there was the story of the unsuccessful football coach. Somebody asked him: "Who was that lady I saw you with at that sidewalk cafe last night?" "That was no sidewalk cafe," replied the coach, "that was nay furniture." Maurice Richard, who broke a bone in his leg when he crashed into the boards at the Forum the other night in the O.S.H.L.

He looked like the best thing to come out of the junior ranks since Buddy O'Connor. The Montreal Football Club has one of the best drop-kickers in football in the person of Jimmy Riddell but he's tried only one all season, proving that drop-kicking is a lost art, if anyone asks. Jimmy comes from a drop-kicking family and he's really good at It When he and his brother Tommy, who used to play with the Mont-reals, were kids they used to practise drop-kicking down in the basement of their home, drawing goal-posts on the wall.

It didn't do the wall any good but it sure made them pretty capable at that business. The injury to Richard, mentioned above, recalls another serious accident in a season opener In the Q.S.H.L. It was three four years ago and Jimmy McCurry was the victim, suffer-ing a fractured skull while play-injr for Victorias. Think Concordia was the opposition. One member of the Quebec Royal Rifles says the referees were the ones to blame for the Richard ailment, because they let everything go in the first period and then began to call even the most minor infraction in the next two frames.

If nobody had been in the penalty box. there would have been no breakaway by Richard, no trip and no injury. Pretty roundabout rpasnnincr The death during the week of uon Maguire, famous old-time lacrosse player, brings up a story told by Mr. Dick Burke, foreman of The Gazette's composing room, who was a junior with the old Shamrock Lacrosse Club when Maguire was a senior star. He recalls that Montreal took the lacrosse championship from.

Bombers scored a 7-0 victory at Calgary last Saturday in the first game or the two-out-of-three playoffs and hope to eliminate the Bronks from further competition this fall when they meet them at Osborne Stadium here tomorrow afternoon. Intermittent snowfall during the last xnree aays nas Blanketed the stadium's frozen gridiron and the forecast indicates that the cold snap will not be broken during the week-end Coach Reg Threfall has not let last Saturday's win lure him into a state of lalse Despite the raw 'weather, he has had his players out on the field several times during the week, running them through new formations and getting them accustomed to handling the ball in zero temperatures. With his team free of injuries, Threlfall is confident.

"I think the boys are really going to be hot in Saturday." he predicted. "I've a feeling they'll really hit their peak. and when that bunch does, they'll make any coach look good." Bronks arrived today without three of their star backfielders and one of their most aggressive linemen. Halfback Ed Rorvig was unable to make the trip because of business. Paul Rowe, plunging back and a lieutenant with a Calgary anti-aircraft battery in the Canadian Active Service Force, was held home by military duties.

Charley Harrison. Calgary's veteran kicking ace, is laid up with an injured knee and Chuck Millman, sturdy lineman, is with Calgary Stampeders senior hockey club in Saskatoon. The riddled condition of Calgary's lineuD cast a cloud of pessimism over the Bronk camn. Coach Larry Haynes would offer little comment, confining his remarks to a prediction that Calgary's hope of scoring a success. will be to open up the play." 1 Quebec Amateur Hockey Association set up a new referees' board last night and laid down a hard and fast rule that every arbiter handling organized games in the province must be a member of the group.

i Along with handling routine matters and recommending the reinstatement of Johnny Gagnon, former professional player, the provincial body spent most time of its executive meeting at the Queen's Hotel in getting the referee board working. The present Q.A.H.A. executive will be at the head of the officials' group and the first gathering is called for next Monday at the Queen's Hotel. The purpose of the Board is to develop new referees and improve the brand of officiating throughout the province. Plans are to have outstanding referees hold lectures for the arbiters during the season.

A grading system will be started shortly and this will be used throughout the areas governed by the main body. The application for reinstatement by Gagnon, who played with Canadiens, Boston and Americans in the National Hockey League, was given approval and it will now be forwarded to the C.A.H.A. Gagnon will appear in the role of player-coach of the Shawingan Falls team. A strong protest will be forwarded by the Q.A.H.A. to the C.A.H.A.

OP) By successfully negotiating the "jinx" jump on the eight-jump course, Mexico's Army riders tonight swept into the lead in the first half of the International Low-score Competition, coveted military event of the 55th National Horse Show. Before a crowd of 8.000 bedecked and bejewelled spectators in Madison Square Garden, the Mexican cavalrymen. Captains Humberto M. Mariles and Ramiro R. Palafox, and their horses turned in two perfect performances in four tries, and not once failed to sail over the sixth jump, which stalled the hopes of the riders from Chile, Cuba and the United States Army.

A low aggregate of 16 faults enabled the Mexicans to come from behind and take the lead in the trophy competition from the favored Chileans, Major Eduardo Yanez and Captain Palayo Izurieto. The Chileans were in the lead until Old Deseada, with Capt Izurieto up, refused to take the sixth jump, and finished the course with 10 xh faults. The Cuban Army team, with 19 faults and the United States Army, with 29. trailed the Central and South Americans. The second half of the competition, with a trophy donated by the President of Chile going to the winner, will be jumped tomorrow.

As usual, the military jumping featured the night's program of the show.
