NEW YORK, Jan. 10. (AP)
For the fourth successive year Tex
Rickard today lined up the rank
and file of pugilists for "T h e
Ring." a boxing pulbication, and
at the head of the parade set Gene
Tunney whd just recently declar
ed war on the promoter.
All recognized champions lead
their classes except in the some
what obscure junior welterweight
section where Ruby Goldstein
gains top position over Mushy Cal
lahan, hailed as champion of the
140 pound class.
In all but the heavyweight class
the promoter split the division in
to two groups, only the . first of
which,, were ranked numerically,
among the ponderous battlers.
Rickard set Tunney first, Jack
Dempsey second, and Jack Sharkey
third before dividing the remain
der of the heavyweights into two
groups.
Foreigners Locking
Rickard deplored the lack of
outstanding foreign contenders in
a copyrighted article accompany
ing the selections. He declared
Gene Tunney the "big sensation
jf last year, as he was the shining
Hght of 1926."
"There is no denying that Tun
ney is not only a champion but a
e;reat champion," he.saidvI be
lieve that he is one of the greatest
.hampiona the class has seen. Any
man who saw Dempsey make the
most dsperate effort of his entire
career and send Tunney down
jnd'then saw Tunney come out of
his crisis and fight back until he
:uut his man. must admit that in
Oene Tunney the American ring
has developed another outstand
ing exponent of science, power,
sameness and sportsmanship."
Canzoncti Top List
In the lightest three divisions,
where title possession has been
.he subject of controversy since
eTie recognized champions volun
tarily relinquished their purple
robes. Rickard ranked Tony Can
soneri at the head of the feather

flyweight palm to Corporal Izzy
Scjhwartz.

that which is taken in at the gate
for the games. Students pay the

Trindle, centers; John Bone, Irv
ing Hale, and Claude Martin,

NEW YORK,, Jan. 10. (AP) j
Rogers Hornsby, second baseman
and captain of the New York Gi
ants has been traded to the Bos
ton Braves in exchange for Catch
er Francis Hogan and Outfielder
James Welch, the New York Na
tional league club announced to
night. No cash was Involved.
The deal for the "best inter
ests' of the club, according to a
statement issued by President
Charles A. Stoneham and Manager
John McGraw.
Hornsby signed a two year con
tract with the Giants last, year at
a reported salary of $40,000 a sea
son, the highest paid any player in
the National league.
The statement signed by Stone
ham and McGraw said:
"After due deliberation between
President Stoneham and Manager
McGraw and having in mind what
we think to be the best interests
of the New York Giants, a trade
was consummated today which in
volved Rogers Hornsby. second
baseman, where the Giants receive
Catcher Francis Hogan and Out
fielder James Welch of the Bos
ton Braves. No cash was in
volved." Hornsby's departure leaves the
Giants with C. R. Crawford, a
N. C, rookie as the only second
baseman on the roster. From this
fact, most baseball observers felt
that McGraw would have to nego
tiate a trade for an experienced
man to fill Hornsby's shoes if he
hoped to make the Giants a con
tender for the 1928 championship.
The announcement of the trade
was given out by Ed Tierney, the
Giants' secretary.
Asked if the clubor its officials
contemplated a further announce
ment cleaning up definitely the
facts surrounding the most sur
prising player deal since the clos
ing of the 1927 season, Tierney
said that nothing more would be
forthcoming.
The deal is completed. There
will be no further announcement,"
he declared.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 10. (AP)
Rogers Hornsby, when informed
here tonight of the sensational
trade which transfers hirn from
the New York Giants to the Bos
ton Braves, said: "I cannot believe
it." ! '
Talking over 'the telephone
from his hotel here Hornsby seem
ed greatly surprised and said he
coifld see no reason why a deal
should be made severing him from
the Giants.
Later Hornsby announced tie
receipt of a telegram from JnvJg
tmu Fuchs. president of. th..
Braves, Informing him of the dtat.
Obviously at a loss for word the
ball player asked reporters ii
there was anything to the report
that the Braves are owned by the
Giants.
"Maybe they're trying to build
up a Boston club." he said. "I've
heard the Giants own the Brave.
Do you know whether that Is true?
I certainly don't know what's
wrong If there Is anything wr;n
"Of course its all right with "me.' '
It doesn't make any different to
m.e whether I'm with the Hraves
or any other club, but I d ,n
know what the New York officials
mean by saying I wlls tr;, lor
the best interests of tho . in1. ,in
less they simply mean to in:'. -r tuy
received players who will civ., ty."
team more strength than I h. ...
given It."
"I do not however, believ.. that
McGraw said I was traded for th-
best interests of the club. That
no doubt came from the otli-r i-
low (meaning Stoneham)."
BOSTON, Jan. 10. (AP) .
Judge Emil E. Fuchs. president of
the Boston Braves, said tonight he
was "elated with the trade" which
will bring Rogers Hornsby of th
New York Giants to Boston in ex
change for Frank Hogan ami
James Welsh.
"The personal friendship be
tween Hornsby and myself has
been one of warm friendship for
years," he said, "and I promise tho
Boston public that he will give us
everything he has to bring tho
Braves toward the top."

Two obstacles present them

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take 8alts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache
The American men and women
must guard constantly against kidney
trouble because we often eat too much
rich food. Our blood is filled with
acids which the kidneys strive to filter
out; they weaken from overwork, be
come sluggish, the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general de
cline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead ; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or if you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
begin drinking lots of good soft water
and get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a
tablespoon fnl in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
add of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders. '
' Jad Salts is inexpensive ; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink and belongs in every
home, . because nobody can make a
mistake by having a good Udney
flushing any time.
