llins. probably until spring. Just be-
fore he left Ebbets issued a state—
mcnt to the local scribes whichwas a
direct contradiction of a statement
he had previously made. These"-
cral squire of Flatbush. in an earlier
interview. stated that thc Robins
needed but an infielder and that
Manager Robinson would be prepar—
ed to start the 1024 season with tho
talent he bad if only an experienced
infielder could be procured in order
to bolster the short field.
Yet, on the day of his departure.
‘hbcls came out with the statement
at the Brooklyn club would trade
any player on its roster with the ex-
ception of three.
It is but a short time since John
McGraw issued a similar suitcmcnt.
The Giants' pilot made. such a rc-
murk on the eve of his departure for
Europe and. unless our guess is
wrong. we believe that Ebbets was
merely kidding when he said that
Brooklyn would trade any player on
his list except Jimmy Johnston, Bur-
lcigh Grimes and Dnzzy Vance.
The Brooklyn team at present has
not a. world of stars. The team is
not one that can be regarded as a
“money" outfit. nor one that is
strong in every department. There
is no doubt the infield needs im-
proving. But. the material that Rob-
by has at his disposal now is as good.
if not better, than half of the other
National League clubs have.
Brooklyn tans need not worry
about the team for next season. Give
Robinson an infielder and it is safe
to predict that the Robins will be in
the running from the start. If the
(cum does not get the infielder, how-
ever. the outlook will not be at all
rosy.
Ebbets said a great deal when he
stated "any player would be traded."
He meiflioned no namcs in particular
and this is one reason why we are
not placing much stock in the.
Squire's remarks. in his 'previous
statement he. made clear the fact
that Dutch Rueiher was not on the
block and he said that the only play-
er. who at present. may be used in
a. coming deal was Andy High.
High. it has been rumored for
some time now, is sure to be gone
when the 1924 season gets under way.
The diminutive infielder got in had
last spring when he refused to sign
at the terms offered him by the
Brooklyn club. His stubborness last
spring may prove costly to him. as
the club will not pay him as large
a salary as he got last season and lg
ho balks at the terms it is likely be
will be cither transferred to another
club or dsposed of to a. mmor’league
outfit. .
Had High satisfied the officials of
the club last season there is no
doubt he would get a good salary
for the coming campaign. but. inas-
much as his work was not all that
was expected. he will not get the
money he did and it will be no sur-
prise to see his name erased from the
Brooklyn payroll.
As mentioned in a previous dis-
patch the name Zach \Vheat is likely
to figure prominently in the trade
rumors when the clubs gather at
the Chicago meetings. \that suf-
fered with a bad ankle last season.
but did well durng the time he play-
ed. However. if a. suitable trade can
be arranged. the veteran outfielder
and captain of the team will un-
doubtedly go. A.
\Vhent's going will not please all
locations and it will be a long time
before they will forget it, but Eb-
bets and his partners. the McKeever
brothers. seeks to~give local fans on-
other winning team and one that
will be a credit to this borough. If
they can arrange a deal for an in-
fielder. they will not hesitate to give
up the veteran outfielder.
The Brooklyn outfield. even with-
out Wheat. would be strong. Tom-
my Grimth still has several years of
good baseball in him, while Bernie
Nels. Bert Grifl‘ith. Gene Bailey and
the rookies coming up for trial can
give good accounts- of themselves.

The report coming from Baltimore
to the ci‘i‘cct that Robinson is trying
to nrrangc a deal with Jack Dunn
in order to gut Tommy Thomas. a
southpaw, does not seem to be exag-
gcratcd. Thcre are now two south-

knows of what ho is talking. for

Robby thinks both of those teams

next season. and Ole other clubs
that (-xpr‘ct in be. contenders will

Cincinnati outfit with plenty of
left-handed pitching. The Giants

The Nor-walk Big Five were out—
classed ‘last evening. when they
stacked up against the Royal Tri-
angle team of New York city, and
were handed a. trimming by the
score of 37-24. In the preliminary
game the Battery C team deicated
the All-Stars by a. 37-25 score.
The local team lcd for a. short
time at the start of the game. when
Naumann and Caxanaugh tossed in
baskets. but the lead was soon over-
come. by the visitors and they were
never in danger during the rest of
the game. At the end of the first
score they were leading by the seem
at 23-10. «
Yerkes and Shulteis of the Tri-
angles played a’wondertul game at
the guard positions. It was their
great playing that made the visitors
look so strong. The teamnotk of
the Triangles Was down to perfec-
tion and. it seemed. as if they knew
every move of one another and the
passing was perfect. The Triangles
were one of the best teams that have
played at the Armory in some time,
and would give some of the best
teams in the country a run for their
money. McElwain also played a.
good game and was all over the
court.
Gordon and Cavanaugh led in the
scoring for the Big Five. i‘avvy
tossed in three baskets for 310131 of
six points and Gordon mane two
baskets and two fouls. Both of
these players put up a fine’ floor
ganle. I
The preliminary game was a. “alk— 9
over for the Battery C team. who
faced a team of so-called Ail-Stars.
The only good point about this
game. was the line playing of Ray
and \Vard Malkin. Bay was the star
for the Battery (cam and scorcd 15
