Fam a noxiout Twelve HAGEM WIN NEWARK soon will be se.hng C100.000 worth of baseball playen for a sone. Hueh McQuillan and Bill Lamar, bad boys of last year's New ark team, hive been on in? market. Nobody wants them. All eams in the International have waived on them.

So they'll probably b3 sold for less than $2,500 apiece. What a loss! Tris Shaker, it seems has profited by the mistakes made by his nrede cessor over in Newark. Walter Johnson couldn't handle his bad boys and they kent his team in the ruck. Speaker isn't going to try to handle them. He'll give 'em the a'r.

Fe to dispose rf ar.d Lmar in the In'e naliol but nobod wuld bite. Now wori from Ne ark has It that if the nalr can't be sold they'll be cast adrift. The Lamar deal with Washington the Bears about $6,500. McQuil lan did not come nuite so but at any price salary alone was a costly invesfment as his victories were few and far between. His suspensions, too, were more protracted than any winning streak.

INT PROFIT ABOUT $500,000 ALTHOUGH exact estimates prob ablv never will be known, eight Internat'onal league clubs harvested a total of more than $300,003 in player sales duri" the past year, says the Baseball World. This, coupled with unusuMly hih attendance, in all but two cities, made 1C28 the most buc cesr ful seaon In recent years for the Toole circuit. Of course, the late Jack Dunn led the field in d'soccing of talent to the majors, although pre sed closer than ever before by several of the moguls. Dunn told George Eamslnw to the Athletic early in the sea on for $35, 00 and sent Stuart Brten to ths House of Mack for The Senators were forred to part with $25 000 to acqvire Guy Can trell, one of the leading hnrlen of th3 'irclt, while Leo Dixon brought $5, 000 11 the dr ft.

Frank NOTED WING SHOTS SIGN FOR $4,000 FLYER MATCH HARTS VILLE, Dec. SD.

and Alex C. Schware, of Philadelphia, for $1,000 a corner. The match will be at 100 flyers a man, 30 yards rise. It will feature a shoot to be held by the Montgomery County Sportsmen's club. these victories, Wickel has been inconspicuous as far as scoring is concerned.

In two games he was a low scorer. But he had plenty of assists to his credit, feeding other numbers of his team with passes, and also has bean strong on aeiense. AiLnougn nominally a fordward, Wickel usually is found in the back court, acting a3 a guard while other members of his isam do the scoring. Wkkel is one of the best basketball players developed in this city in resent He literally was born wi a basketball in his hands, for he been playirg since prade school days. He was developed by Coarh Clarence PoUs, of Northrast Junior High, and was easily the star of junior high competition duilrg two years of play.

When hs rea h3d high school he really was a finished product and little polirhing was ncedsd. Basketball was his ha learned everything thsre was to learn early, wi.h the result that he broke into ths hish school lineup at once and became its star from the go. Wrkel is a Jevel hsaded youngster and the praise of several years hasn't caused him to wear a hat. He has stood out head and shoulders over teammates, but he always has stri ed for team play rather individual glory. His latest resolve, that of plaving for the team rather than himself should help Reading H'gh to have a successful court season.

Both players have had stormy ca reers. Lamar was in we dis uiuw with a half a dozen clubs, playing with the Athletics, Yankees, Red Sox, Robins and. Senators. Connie Mack once peeled $35,000 off his bankroll for Lamar. Later he sold him to Washington for McQuillan had an even higher price tap than Lamar.

His was for S63.C0O, ttc sum MiGntw is fail to have paid Eos'cn. So the plr once was worth at ore time. Now the pair probably won't bring so that the loss can be added to the thousands of dollars already lost by the Newark club. It would seem that the Bears would be "wised up" by this time, but they continue to buy veteran stars, some that the major leagues couldn't handle. Thsir latest buys include Vic Al dridge, rat3d a tough customer by ma or leafrue p'lots.

and Russ wrignt stone, an oldster. Newark probably paid plenty far thove players, and yet they're srb'ect to the draft and may be nicked uo bv the bix leagues if they go well.

The team this season will have a pair of veterans for co captains, Tom Pickell, center and leading individual high point scorer of the conference last season, and Eugene Lambert, lanky guard, directing the Razor backs.

The youngster saved the day for the Cardinals in 1927, when they were up against it for a short fielder, and showed his gameness by the way he came in from a Class club and carried on for a team making a pennant fight in the National league.
